Palopoli John J MD

Address: 907 S Harrison St, Covington, LA 70433, USA

“After a serious car accident in 2017, I have suffered with severe low back pain. My family physician was unable to help me so I saw a very well respected orthopedic surgeon. He spent very little time with me and did a very limited physical exam. He ordered an MRI of my thoracic spine and then recommended a series of “wave” therapy treatments that would require multiple visits to his office and cost thousands of dollars. I then heard about Dr. Palopoli and his reputation for thoroughness and conservative management and made an appointment with him. I am 80 years old and have been seen by many good doctors over my life time, but Dr. Palopoli is at another level. He carefully listened to me and then asked many questions. He then did one of the most complete physical exams I have ever had. He then spent over 30 minutes educating me about lumbar spine anatomy and possible causes of pain. He explained how my back pain was most likely secondary to lumbar facet joint arthritis and inflammation and that the previous thoracic spine MRI was not indicated nor helpful. He saw no wisdom in ordering an MRI of my lumbar spine because I had no nerve damage and did not require surgery. He recommended conservative management with emphasis on physical therapy. Currently, I am nearly pain free and without the expense of additional testing or expensive medical office treatments. I am very grateful to Dr. Palopoli and give him my highest recommendation.”
