Phyllis Borba lived with chronic back pain for 20 years before first hearing about Dr. Neel Anand. During her first consultation with Dr. Anand, Borba learned her spine no longer had any facet joints, which are small joints that allow the spine to twist and bend. Upon Dr. Anand's recommendations, Borba had surgery in 2007 to replace the worn-out facet joints. And Borba's chronic back pain stayed gone for several years until she fell seven feet off a ladder while picking avocados and landed on her back. A consultation with Dr. Anand discovered that Borba had fractured her T12 vertebra, which is the lowest and largest vertebra on the spinal column. Additionally, scans showed that Borba's T10 and T11 vertebra were worn out. In January 2023, Dr. Anand performed surgery on Borba to correct these issues. Unfortunately, Borba found she was still in pain as pressure from the top three vertebra were causing additional weakness in the lower lumbar area of her back. In July 2023, Dr. Anand operated on Borba one more time to insert six vertebra spacers to help alleviate pressure, as well as a metal rod down the spine to provide more support. Since her last surgery, Borba says the pain from her fall has been improving every day. Borba says both Dr. Anand and his entire staff have been extremely supportive throughout her medical journey. "His staff has been wonderful — they're like family because I've known them for so long and they're so attentive that I look to them for any input," she adds. When asked if Borba would recommend Dr. Anand to other patients with a story similar to hers, she said 1000%. "He is so knowledgeable, and he'll tell you just as it is -- there's no sweet talking," she continues. "He knows what he's doing and that's why he's so good at what he does. I have sent about four family members and friends to him, and they have been very, very happy. So, if they're happy, I'm happy because I referred them."

Keep Your Spine Healthy This Holiday Season 🎄🦴

The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate, travel, cook, and enjoy time with loved ones — but they can also place unexpected strain on your back and spine. From long hours in the car or on a plane, to lifting heavy packages, to standing in the kitchen preparing meals, your spine might feel the stress.

Here are a few simple tips to stay comfortable and pain-free this season:
✔️ Lift smart: Bend your knees, not your back — especially with heavy luggage or gift boxes.
✔️ Take movement breaks: Long periods of sitting or standing can stiffen the spine. Move every 30–45 minutes.
✔️ Stay hydrated: Your spinal discs need hydration to stay healthy.
✔️ Keep your core engaged: Strong core muscles support your spine during holiday activities.
✔️ Prioritize rest: Fatigue increases the risk of back strain.

A healthy spine makes the holidays more enjoyable — take care of it so you can fully enjoy the season.

Happy Holidays! ❄️🎁
