This is a recorded patient testimonial on YouTube (created/uploaded by Joy Kong, MD) describing dramatic improvement in chronic lower-back pain after a single stem cell treatment administered by Dr. Kong and Dr. Michael. The patient reports 40 years of severe back pain and nerve degenerative disc disease, received an IV infusion of stem cells plus local injections in June (six months before the interview), and experienced rapid functional recovery (walking long distances within days, two-week trip to Europe, 12-hour return flight, driving 1,200 miles in a 30-foot bus) with no ongoing use of pain medications. Additional unexpected benefits reported include stronger singing voice and resumed exercise without pain.

For being here.
You bet.
Having you back.
Thank you.
Yeah. I want you to share a little bit of what your experiences are. I know when you came. How many months ago?
Six months ago. In June.
Yeah. Tell me what you were dealing with at the time.
At that time, I had hurt my lower back to the point where I could barely move. I couldn't get in and out of a car. I couldn't bend over and get a jar of pickles out of the refrigerator without hurting. I felt like I was walking on the edge of a knife 24 hours a day. Then I came here and was told what this therapy, stem cell therapy, had to offer.
So, first of all, were you given a diagnosis?
Was it like, oh, absolutely. I'm a lifelong bad back. They told me I had a bad back when I was 25 years old, and then they did two surgeries on me by the time I was 30. And the pills, the drugs, the doctors, the looks of frustration and anxiety.
So we're just a spinal deterioration?
Yes, ma'. Am. It's just what they call exactly what they call nerve degenerative disc disease.
And how long were you impacted severely? Like. Like what you described?
40 years.
40 years.
40 years.
Okay.
Until June of this year, when I.
Came to this, you were incapacitated, Often on and off.
Justin used to have to tie my shoes for me so I could go to work because I was too hurt to even get to my shoes.
Wow.
And I was still trying to work. But in June, my life changed. I came here and let Dr. Kong and Dr. Michael helped me. And this therapy works, Right?
We gave you an IV infusion of.
Stem cells and the local injections into my inner spaces. And then I went to Europe two days later for two weeks, like right after therapy.
What did you notice?
What I noticed after therapy was some mild sensations in the affected areas that would come and go. And then on your advice and Dr. Michael's advice, I started going to the gym and found out that those little mild pains can be dealt with on a weight machine if you be careful. Right. As you advise. Very slowly, did I start?
Okay.
But now, anytime I feel anything in my lower back, I go to the gym. And I know which machines to get on, and I'm fine. I walk. I don't take pills. I don't take ibuprofen. I take nothing.
Wow. So I remember within a couple days, you were walking a long distance, went to Europe. Right.
And chased Justin and my oldest son across airports in Great Britain and Scotland and France. Never missed them. Never missed a Step. Oh, I was. I was completely dumbfounded. Yeah.
And you were taking long flights as well.
Exactly.
Sitting in the same position.
I took a 12 hour flight back. Now I've got enough sense to know I need to get up and move around every now and then. But other than that, I couldn't go to sleep. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't. It's just too exciting.
Too exciting. Did you do back bother you when you were in Europe?
No, not at all.
Wow.
It was like I had been given a new spine and everything everybody had ever said to me in the medical profession turned out to no longer apply to me.
Wow.
I was. It was.
You say this to some, Some people, they probably won't believe you.
They. They look at me like I'm crazy and. And I was at dinner with friends the other night and listening to some stage four stuff. And I just wanted to say you're going to the wrong clinics and seeing the wrong doctors because there may be something that could help you without burning your insides out. And it's just the. It's the opposite. It's therapeutic.
Yeah.
And I'm a singer. I was not concerned about my singing voice. But after this therapy, my voice was much stronger.
Wow. That's lovely.
And I wasn't even expecting that. Wow. But my singing voice improved too. So now I can walk and sing and have fun and do it better. But it's a miracle.
That does sound like for anybody that asks one treatment.
A miracle. Yeah, a miracle.
So the pain has not returned.
Never. Wow. At all. I got a little sore from driving for four days non stop. I'm fine today though. Used to. How many miles did you drive? 1200 miles. In a class A 30 foot bus, which is a truck. Without having any back pain. No back pain at all. Yet. Last night I was a little sore. I used a abson machine for 30 minutes and.
Wow.
And used to when I would get a little sore like that, that was a red flag. Watch out. Where were you sore? I thought you're. Wasn't your hand sore from driving? Well, no, it was just right there a little bit from sitting in that chair all day long. But I mean, heck, you know, wonderful. Who wouldn't be?
Yeah. This is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your story and thank you for trusting us to help you.
Absolutely. Perspective. Prospective patients. Just know that for me, Dr. Kong is a real life miracle and she gave me my life back. I was despairing of going on. If this is all I've got to look forward to. I just soon check out here because it was getting to be really heavy. Wow. Cured. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
