From Spine Surgery to the John Muir Trail

After months of debilitating sciatic pain, Denise found lasting relief through minimally invasive spine surgery with Dr. Frank Valone at California Pacific Orthopaedics.

Within a few months of surgery, she was back to running and skiing again. Since her surgery in 2022, she has gone on to backpack 227 miles on the John Muir Trail, crossing 10 mountain passes between 10,000 and 13,000 feet.

“It was an amazing trip and I never would have imagined it’d be possible before Dr. Valone repaired my back. I’m so grateful to him and the team!” – Denise
