    After years of suffering debilitating back pain, bed ridden weeks at a time, I saw Dr. Latief. He spent time taking my medical history and doing a thorough physical examination. As a result he was able to diagnose spinal stenosis. It has been 2 years since my last bout of back pain, and most remarkably, I've been able to do it without drugs! Exercise alone has allowed me to carry on a normal active life since. In my experience a rare outcome indeed.
