Dr. Ronald D. Fudala
I’ve been a Spine consultant since 1993. Many of those years were in the neurosurgical department of a large neuroscience practice.
This experience has given me an insider’s view about low back pain, the many ways it’s treated, how well those treatments work, and what a person has to do to keep back pain from disrupting their life.
But most importantly I’ve seen what most of you lack. That is, a clinical coach to show you how you can reduce or eliminate low back pain, on your own, and what you need to do to keep it away.
No clinical professional today has the financial incentive to do that and this lack ends up costing you time, money, and even your health. A lot of my clients have said that trying of find a solution to low back pain left them feeling helpless. Not you. Not Now!
SpineCamp fills the need for a program that will show you how taking a common sense, practical approach and doing a few basic things will give you the ability to reduce or eliminate low back pain, on your own, often quickly, no matter where or when it occurs.
Overview of Professional Experience
Neurosurgical practice resonsibilities
Perform initial evaluations of patients referred in for surgical consideration. As a result of this, I have seen patients with almost any spine-related condition you could imagine.
Examine and identify urgent need patients and arrange for expedited appointments with one of the neurosurgeons.
Manage patients, by making appropriate referrals, when surgery was not immediately indicated or if a patient did not want to undergo surgery.
Perform specialized nerve-related diagnostic testing, requested by the surgeons, and consultations and testing on patients referred in by the region’s practicing doctors.
I developed our practice’s post-operative and non-operative spine care rehab department and trained and supervised the personnel within that division.
Two of the most important things I learned from the rehab experience were:
It is important for a person to have realistic expectations from their treatment and not seek magic answers or miracle cures. They aren’t out there.
It is equally important for a patient to be fully invested in their recovery and take responsibility for doing what they can to help themself. But, as stated earlier, very few of you have someone to show you what to do.
I resigned from the neurosurgical practice in October 2011 to devote more time to independent study and begin putting together the components of the SpineCamp advocacy program.
Brief Summary of Additional Professional Experiences
Graduated from Chiropractic School in 1987. (National University of Health Sciences). Was second in class academically, voted class Vice President, and received recognition from the National Honor Society and an award for excellence in clinical anatomy.
Enrolled in a post-graduate Neurology training program. After 3 years of this, and the successful completion of a comprehensive written and practical exam, was awarded an advanced designation as a Diplomate of Chiropractic Neurology.
I then took an additional year of clinical training in diagnostic neurophysiology resulting in being awarded the title of, Diplomate in Clinical Electrodiagnosis. (specialized testing of nervous system conditions)
I have authored several articles that have been published in professional periodicals. You can click the links below to view them:
Throughout the years I have been invited to give continuing education lectures at over 50 post-graduate programs.
