Scot Haney from WFSB recently sat down with Dr. Robert Stockton, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon at Comprehensive Orthopaedics, to discuss the transformative impact of modern spine care. During this insightful interview, Dr. Stockton was joined by one of his patients, who shared a powerful and personal story about overcoming chronic and debilitating back pain. The patient described how his life was significantly affected by persistent discomfort, making even simple daily tasks like walking, bending, or standing for extended periods incredibly difficult. His quality of life had declined to the point where work, hobbies, and time with family became increasingly limited. That was all before he met Dr. Stockton and began a new chapter in his healthcare journey.
In the video segment, Dr. Stockton discusses the critical role that advanced imaging techniques—such as MRI and CT scans—play in accurately diagnosing the root cause of back and spine pain. With these diagnostic tools, he was able to pinpoint the exact problem and recommend a personalized, minimally invasive surgical solution. The goal was not just pain relief but long-term mobility and improved function. Following surgery, the patient experienced a remarkable recovery, reporting a substantial reduction in pain and a significant improvement in his ability to enjoy life again. He expressed gratitude for the care and expertise provided by Dr. Stockton and the team at Comprehensive Orthopaedics.
Dr. Stockton takes pride in his patient-first philosophy, which focuses on delivering customized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s unique condition. He stresses the importance of exploring non-surgical and conservative options first, such as physical therapy and pain management techniques. Surgery is only considered when absolutely necessary and when it offers the best chance for a positive outcome.
