Easing Chronic Pain Remotely With Digital Health
Living with Chronic Pain
Rich is a 20-year veteran consultant at a Big Four accounting firm, who spends long hours sitting at his desk on his computer. The past 2 years, his back pain has become unbearable. He tried epidurals, surgery, physical therapy, and opioids and was waking up every 3 hours to take a pill that barely helped. He had fractures on his spine’s base. After being bed-ridden for a month, Rich reluctantly completed pre-admission testing for spinal fusion surgery.
Finding Hope
Rich learned about Hinge Health from a coworker. He opened his Hinge Health kit on the kitchen table and did his first session at home. After his first week on Hinge Health—Rich called his surgeon to delay the surgery so he could give this program a shot. A month later, Rich’s pain resolved so much that he canceled the surgery. Now, well over a year later, Rich remains active on Hinge Health because he can do it anytime and now he’s even back to playing golf and basketball.
