Doctor hecker he is a very good doctor and very nice and he told me that I have arthritis in my lower back near my tailbone and no other doctor has told me that I had arthritis in my lower back and. My lower back from where he done the injections in my lower back it's still numbing and I'm able to clean up and not feel any pain in my lower back.

I always look forward to seeing Dr. Hecker with his knowledge of my issues and knowing l'm going to get relief for a while. He has a great sense of humor to keep your mind off of what he's doing, but he's also very kind and compassionate to me and my needs.
