“This place was a God send.”
Before I came to see Dr. Kube I had been to INI at OSF. They told me that there was nothing they could do for me. I hadn't been able to walk for months with out extreme pain. At my first visit with Dr. Kube he listened to my symptoms, then opened my MRI imaging, and went straight to the problem spot. It stuck out like a big bullseye. I ended having surgery to fix my back. Immediately following the surgery, still in the recovery room, I noticed that I could stand up again without feeling like I was being torn in half. After a few months of therapy with Jeremy, I was able to walk normal, and most importantly, I was able to play with my children again. I would implore anyone with a back injury to just come and talk with Dr. Kube. He gave me my life back, and I'm positive he can give you yours back.
