Let’s take a look back at another one of our top moments from earlier this year.
A grateful and incredibly talented patient surprised his spine surgeon with a birthday performance to remember. Ezra was born with several complex medical conditions including a spine curve which worsened to greater than 100 degrees. In Fall 2024, Halo gravity traction and spine surgery helped Ezra get back to what he loves! Ezra, is a violinist with the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestras.
