    How was your appointment with Dr. Howe?

    Apr 27, 2021
    Went to doctor Chris Howe at Proliance Orthopedic Associates for chronic lower back, hip, and leg pain. His plan was epidural steroid shots with Dr. Chilczuk first then laminotomy, if necessary, for three vertebraes. The injections worked well for the lower right back but surgery was needed for lower left back . Doctor Howe and his assistant ,Anastasia , made sure I understood the surgery process so there were no surprises. They are both caring and concerned individuals. Doctor Howe is a miracle worker. Now I can get in and out of my car, chairs,and even bend down and touch my toes without PAIN!. I would highly recommend doctor Howe for your neck, or back problems.
