Former Marvel Entertainment CEO Peter Cuneo endured years of debilitating pain in his legs that was so severe he would lose feeling in them, often forcing him to sit on the ground or on a fire hydrant to avoid falling. After three years of injections that offered little relief, he knew he needed another solution.

Peter had spinal compression, a condition where pressure on the spine or nearby nerves causes symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. He turned to NYU Langone Health spine surgeon Dr. Jeffrey A. Goldstein, who performed a less-invasive robotic surgery that relieved the compression almost instantly. “I had a miracle experience,” Peter reflects. “Immediately when I woke up, even though I had surgical pain, I could tell all the leg problems were gone.”
