I have tried every method known for pain relief except for surgery, however, the damaged lumbar discs in my spine are not accessible for a surgical procedure.

Dr. Gruft has prescribed the proper amount of Methadone to give me the most relief possible.
Dr. Gruft is one of many doctors who finally got it in prescribing the proper pain medication to give me relief so that I may move around during the day and sleep at night.

I have Degenerative Disc Disease, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, Facet Arthropathy, Lumbosacral Neuritis, and Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis). Thanks to the medication (I have tried everything, but Methadone is the only one that works.
Dr. Gruft is very compassionate and provided me with with relief that I have been looking for a long time.

I have been a patient of Dr Grufts’s for more than a decade. I have several chronic health conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic neck pain, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis.

I am a physician myself. I have a chronic low back pain condition that is literally crippling me and required narcotics to control. I had surgery, injections, and even an implanted electronic stimulator, but my pain was still was not controlled. Dr. Gruft does not do surgery, procedures or injections. Instead, his approach integrates the services of a psychologist, physical therapist, and medications to help you get back to a normal life. He does not avoid narcotics if you need them. It took almost 7 months, but under his ca... read more
There is no doubt that Dr. Gruft & his team are the best in the country. I've battled chronic back pain for decades & more recently had spinal surgery. I was fortunate to attend Dr. Gruft's 'kick-start to wellness' program earlier this year. A full month working with physical therapists, nutritionists & nursing all aimed at understanding pain management, strengthening my body & learning about the mind-body connections. I am so grateful to Dr. Gruft and his team!!
