New Dad Benched by Herniated Disc

Shortly after becoming a new father Ryan began experiencing back pain that radiated down his leg. The back pain became more intense with time and eventually consumed almost every moment of his life. He couldn't stand or sit without pain, his only relief came when lying on the floor.

After seeking out alternative treatments including "spending thousands of dollars on a chiropractor with no improvement", Ryan visited Resurgens Orthopaedics. The on-site MRI showed a herniated disc between the L4 and L5 vertebrae.

Ryan was treated by Dr. Bennett Grimm and from their first encounter, Dr. Grimm immediately put him at ease. "He related to me and my family and the life I was trying to get back to. Dr. Grimm said he'd get that pain out of my body. He gave me confidence and I was drawn to his confidence."

"I've always loved doing my own stunts," said Durkin of these positions. "But looking back now, I probably should have let the stunt-men step in more than I did."
