Methuen resident Kevin Munoz knew his back pain wasn't normal. As a 35-year-old construction worker, Kevin prided himself on staying active. But, after years battling back pain so severe that he could barely walk, Kevin finally found the care he needed at Merrimack Health Lawrence Hospital.

Kevin's surgeon Dr. Krishn Khanna performed an advanced lumbar disc replacement, a procedure that preserves spine movement, addresses the source of pain directly, and offers a faster recovery time.

The results have been life-changing for Kevin, who is looking forward to hiking and backpacking the mountains when he’s fully recovered.

Happy National Walking Day!

One of the simplest things we can do for our health is also one of the most powerful—walking. A regular walking routine supports heart health, strengthens muscles, reduces stress and so much more.

Small swaps make it easy: take the stairs, park a bit farther away or step outside for some fresh air after lunch. Lace up and take that first step.

Screening is the best way to catch colon cancer early. People should get screened starting at age 45, even if they feel healthy. Screening can find problems early, when treatment is easier and more effective. If colon cancer runs in your family, your doctor may suggest starting sooner.

There are a lot of myths about colon cancer screening. Knowing the facts can help you feel confident about your options. Talk with your doctor about which screening test and prep are right for you.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

Colon cancer is highly preventable when caught early, and screening is key. A colonoscopy can find problems before symptoms appear, when treatment is easiest and most effective.

Dr. David Ma, colorectal surgeon at Merrimack Health, says colonoscopies are safe, routine, and lifesaving.

Everyone 45 and older should be screened. If colon cancer runs in your family, your doctor might recommend starting earlier. You can also talk with your doctor about the screening and the prep needed for your colonoscopy.
