Laura, a nurse, wife, and mother of 3, was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2017 at age 38. She made a great recovery following major surgery—except for lingering pain in her hip and back.

“I tried everything to help myself.” However, acupuncture, physiotherapy, prescription medications, and injections didn’t give her any lasting relief. Her daily pain level averaged 7-8, and she soon needed a crutch to walk.
