My name is Silvia, and since 2014 I have suffered from sciatica and back pain. In 2016 I was rear-ended in my car and my back and my leg got worse. I had several treatments with infiltration and epidural cortisone, but it was not resolved. I became allergic to cortisone. One evening, while looking at Facebook I saw a post by the offices of Spine Health. I was immediately intrigued. I was tired of no longer sleeping at night due to back and leg pain, so I checked out Dr. Christian Capuano. I do not know what nudged me, but the next day I called to make an appointment. I’m very happy to have made this decision. Dr. Capuano was very thorough in explaining my problem and I’ve been very satisfied. I started oxygen therapy and I can say that it has been a long time since I’ve felt so well. The pain has disappeared and I can sleep at night. I sincerely thank Dr. Christian Capuano, a person with a lot of humanity and a very well prepared doctor… my adventure continues with Dr. Capuano, but now I am in good hands and I am more tranquil. Thanks
10/7/2018 Uggiate Trevano. My name is Lenka Siekelova, 39 years old, and I owe a big Thank you to Dr. Christian Capuano. On 2 July 2018, my big day finally arrived; the day I would solve the problems I had been living with daily for years. Sometimes I stayed in bed for several days at a time. I underwent surgery at the Eporediese Clinic in Ivrea. My surgery was TLIF L5-S1 and stabilisation with screws and bars L4-L5-S1. I have to thank Dr. Christian Capuano because my life is slowly returning to the way it was before; certainly, patience and calm are needed, but painless days are coming, in which my spirit and desire to be active will be back. It seems like a miracle, but on 3 July 2018, I was already on my feet, as Dr. Capuano had assured me. By 4 July I was going up and down stairs by myself!!! Thank you so much to Dr. Carnini. And thanks to Marinella who was always very kind. The physiotherapist also deserves a thank you, even though we had little contact. I trusted his determination right away. In all of them I found humanity, trust, the ability to understand and listen to the patient! And they never saw me as just a number. In short, I strongly recommend contacting Dr. Christian Capuano – for those who are desperate and really want to solve their back problems. ME AND MY FAMILY ARE TOTALLY SATISFIED! INFINITE THANKS. Lenka Siekelova!!!
Until 15 August 2017 I was a very active man. Then, a backache appeared that increased from day to day, then I had more and more pains in the left leg. In short, the super active person I had been became a couch man. Then one day, by chance, I met a doctor and long-time friend who told me “as soon as you have the MRI results, go to Dr. Capuano, there is no one better”. I listened to my friend, who was also the first person I thanked after the surgery. When I met Dr. Christian I was amazed by the preparation and security he inspires in you. It was immediately clear to him, he found: a multilevel disc disease, L4 and L5 spondylosis, complicated by canal and foraminal stenosis + left herniated disc. The Doctor proposed treatment that included surgery, after oxygen-ozone treatment and physiotherapy. I have to thank Andrea for his kindness and preparation. After these treatments, I was ready for the operation that took place on Monday 4 June at the Eporediese clinic. It was a 45-minute operation under spinal anaesthesia, with L4 and L5 decompression and ILIF. AMAZING, after 4 hours I felt no pain, just slight discomfort in my back; the next morning I was walking perfectly. For a man who has been reborn, to just give thanks is too little. I feel indebted to everyone at the clinic, including Dr. Carnini. After the surgery, I needed no painkillers. Incredible. I mustn’t forget Marinella – kind, patient and pleasant with everyone. An unforgettable experience. God bless you all.
I met Dr. Capuano through my physiotherapist. I had been suffering from back pain for years, sometimes my back became totally blocked. In November, I saw Dr. Capuano and he made a very good first impression on me. I trusted him right away and started doing ozone therapy. It seemed that the situation was improving, but various situations led me to decide to have surgery in May. I would like to thank Dr. Capuano for his professionalism and support. He was very kind. In the days I was in hospital, he was always kind to me and to my companion Mariangela, who never left my side. I hope to get back to normal soon. Thanks to everyone. Thanks Dr. Capuano.
Dear Doctor Capuano, I would like to thank you for your attention to and interest in my situation so far. At the first appointment, you confidently identified my problem: everything related to the spine – not to the joints of the lower limbs, as it might seem from my symptoms. Clearly and quickly, you proposed the course of treatment before, during and after the vertebral decompression surgery, to eliminate the stenosis of the disc that was the main cause of my suffering. I was operated on May 28, at the Ivrea Eporediese Clinic, was lovingly assisted to by you and Dr. Carnini. Even when entering the operating theatre, where usually you feel apprehension and fear, I felt calm and serene thanks to your heartening presence. Now I await the last part of the journey, but I face it with confidence and serenity, because I know I’m in good hands, or better under the wings of that white-coated angel – Dr. Christian. Finally, I would like to thank Marinella, always kind, precise and helpful. With esteem and gratitude. Lucia Fiozzi
Dear Dr. Capuano, I want to publicly thank you for the “miracle” you have performed. Over a year ago I underwent an L3-L4 discectomy in a well-known hospital in Como, but it didn’t resolve my problem. My situation worsened and the pain was continuous, unbearable, I was struggling to use my leg. My quality of life had completely changed. I had several visits with so-called experts: inflammation was the diagnosis and I felt like the receipt of payment that was presented to me each time. Then, a colleague mentioned Dr. Capuano. He is a wonderful person, competent doctor, and a person with whom you immediately feel empathy. We established a therapeutic programme together. On May 21, at the Casa di Cura Città di Bra (an excellent clinic), I had decompression and L3-L4 (right) surgery and stabilisation with screws and bars. When I woke up from the anaesthesia, I could not believe that I could again move my leg. Thank you so much Dr. Capuano. Never take off your white coat where the Hippocratic oath is written. I also want to thank Dr. Carnini for his assistance in the operating room. Thanks also to his staff, and especially to Marinella – always so kind and helpful.
I really want to thank Dr. Capuano for his professionalism, availability and kindness. After years of back problems and many consultations with doctors, he was the only one able to understand the cause of my problems and resolve the situation without ever giving up or undermining the great humanity that distinguishes him from others. He did not make me feel just a patient, but like a person. He followed me and continues to follow me in every moment of my journey back to wellness, and even rejoiced with me after the success of the operation. I was operated on April 23rd, the following day I was already on my feet and today (June 2nd) I can say I’m almost back to normal. Thanks again to him and to all his team.
Dear Dr. Capuano, I am very satisfied with the back surgery you performed and thank you very much for your kindness, professionalism and for treating me as if I were your father. You and your team welcomed me and put me at ease: I was ready–prepared and calm– for the surgery. At the Città di Bra clinic I was very comfortable: the staff was really professional and kindness and patience are not lacking. I also wanted to thank your colleague, Dr. Francesco Carnini, Mrs. Marinella Mancuso from the Como office and all the staff of the clinic, who were kind and helpful. Warmly, Luciano Capelli
I would like to add something to the many positive comments on the website to confirm the professionalism with which I have been cared for throughout the therapeutic programme I went through to deal with from a serious cervical hernia with marrow compression.
Specifically, I wanted to emphasise Dr. Capuano’s high level of preparation and ability to empathise with the patient at all stages of treatment. He was clear in his diagnosis, explained the causes of the pathology and explained the different therapeutic options. He was present in the post-operative stage as well. Throughout the entire process he transmitted confidence and inspired trust.
I also want to extend my thanks to Dr. Carnini, who assisted him during the operation, to the staff of the Città di Bra Nursing Home, who were professional and courteous, and of course to the doctor’s assistant Marinella, who was always very precise and kind in coordinating everything.
I truly hope you never need his professional help, but if you should, I truly believe that you cannot put yourself in better hands.
Thank you.

Hi, I’m Paola… I’m 40 years old.
In December 2016, I woke up one morning and without any warning I found myself in an unimaginable situation… I could no longer get out of bed, with my torso and arms completely blocked and with terrible pain.
This was the beginning of going to accident & emergency, having X-rays and an MRI – from which emerged an alarming clinical situation.
At the beginning of January a friend sent me to Dr. Capuano’s office… where in addition to professionalism I had the immense pleasure of finding a lot of humanity… not so common these days.
Upon my arrival, my condition, I can assure you, was not the best… I had stabbing pains in my neck, down the back and in both arms… with almost constant numbness in both hands.
Sleeping at night… IMPOSSIBLE!!!
I underwent 10 sessions of ozone therapy, with good results, and a specific physiotherapy programme, which helped me return to an almost normal life.
In early April I underwent an operation consisting of a C5-C6-C7 discectomy, plus anterior arthrodesis with the insertion of two inter-somatic cages.
What can I say… when I woke up… and since then my neck pain has disappeared.
After a month of convalescence wearing a stabilising collar… which I recommend to everyone… and another two months of intense physiotherapy… I can finally tell you that I have resumed a normal life… I feel better, and I can do almost everything I did before that infamous December.
People who I have sent to Dr. Capuano always thank me… because they have had the same experience… with excellent results.
I would really like to thank Christian for his support me and because he gave me the chance to fully resume my.
In addition to his undisputed professionalism, his warmth made me smile even in difficult moments… so I say a big THANK YOU.
A thought also goes out to Marinella… a constant presence in the office… She was always very helpful in trying to satisfy my every request!!!
What can I say, meeting Dr. Christian Capuano was an incredible fortune for me. I have had back problems since 2000. It started with two hernias, treated by other doctors, then I had protrusions in other vertebrae and my back gradually got worse and worse. I went from one doctor to another, from one therapy to another, almost always based on cortisone. Then finally I met Dr. Capuano. I was immediately struck by his professionalism and his availability. When I was unwell, he was always there for me. He prescribed few drugs, targeted and appropriate, so that I could get back on my feet. But, he kept repeating to me that my problem would only be solved with “surgery and weight loss”. Years passed and I finally overcame my fears. The Dr. operated on me March 19, going against the opinions of some other doctors due to my being overweight. Now, after a TLIF operation and stabilisation with screws and bars at L5 – S1, I’m much, much better. The Dr. kept in close touch the immediate post-operative period, and even afterwards, when I returned home. He is a person that does not abandon you, on the contrary, he even calls you to see how you are, gives you advice, and briefly, is a friend that I will always be grateful to. THANK YOU CHRISTIAN, THANKS FOR THE PATIENCE, THANKS FOR MAKING ME WELL. And also, thanks from my family. As promised, I’m now on a diet. Thanks also to your support staff, and thanks for everyone’s professionalism and affection. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
A SPECIAL THANKS
My name is Andrea Maddaluna. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Christian Capuano and all his staff. He immediately identified my back problem (3 herniated discs and sciatica), and with dedication is now solving it. I do not usually leave comments, but in this case I wanted to make an exception to reward the doctor’s determination and humanity. He never made me feel like a number, but like a patient in need of help.
Following my operation at the Città di Bra clinic, my problems have been solved. The doctor has always responded to my requests with professionalism and patience, in order to see my suffering alleviated.
Also, a sincere thank you from my family who, like me, have needed the doctor’s help, and who, like me, have had positive results.

My story dates back several years. I have disc disease at the L4-L5 level with a bulging medial disc. After being treated by another neurosurgeon in Varese, I had an operation in 2013, performed with quite superficially (as I was to find out later). I had several relapses. This doctor’s “non-solution” was to prescribe different types of medicines. The situation went on like this for a few years, until my disk problem worsened, finally evolving into serious spondylosis in the same area (L4-L5) from an expelled disc.
Finally I met Dr. Capuano! I came to know him through my doctor and by looking on the Internet. I’m happy to say I have found a true professional, always at the forefront of his field, attentive to his patient’s problems, giving comfort and creating a good, trustful relationship.
After the first appointment I knew I had finally found the right doctor. I was sure that my serious health problems would be resolved. I did a lot of ozone therapy and physiotherapy to prepare myself for the inevitable second operation (which took place on February 7 2018 at the Città di Bra clinic), and I am sure has my problems have been 1000% solved. The doctor has always been very helpful, and even came to the hospital the night before the surgery to explain it to me for the umpteenth time, and give me the courage to face it. He got me on my feet the next day, to my great amazement.
Now I will have to do a lot of physiotherapy, but I am sure that I will be stronger than before, without limitations, and be able to do the sports I have unfortunately had to put aside (especially running and hiking).
I will never be able to thank him enough. It isn’t easy to find a doctor who combines so much humanity, warmth and understanding, who keeps up with the latest innovations in his field.
The people who I have sent to him have also had great results. It’s not just luck, but rather the immense professionalism that distinguishes him from so many charlatans and “false” doctors.
Of course, I also thank his assistant, Marinella – always smiling, kind and attentive with the doctor’s patients.
Good morning Dr. Capuano,
My name is Maria Donata, and I want to leave my comments, both to thank him immensely for getting me out of what I called a “nightmare”, and to advise those who are in my situation to trust him.
For about a year I dragged myself around with sometimes unbearable and disabling pains, trying countless treatments (often expensive) that had proved useless. My diagnosis was “stenosis of the L4-L5 vertebral canal”. His hands saved me! I had an osteo-ligament decompression and inter-spinous arthrodesis operation on January 10 at the Città di Bra clinic,, where I was treated very well, and where I was able to walk the evening of the operation. I realised right away that I no longer had those terrible pains and almost did not believe it. The following day I was walking in the corridor with the doctor! Now I’m better every day and I’m returning to my previous life. Thank you Doctor Capuano. Your competence, humanity, and affection were important gifts and are not easy to find! Thanks also to his assistant, Marinella, always very kind and helpful. Thank you, thank you so much.
My name is Roberta and I am almost 40 years old. I met Dr. Capuano through my parents and some common friendships. I’m a big fan of sports and I train 4/5 times a week. I’m a “runner”. After years without any kind of physical problems, in 2016 something went wrong. It started with small and annoying muscle injuries, then my left knee broke down (operated on in 2001), and not wanting to leave anything out, a trivial fall caused a lumbar / sacral trauma with bone edema and the ordeal began! I had seen Dr. Capuano for my knee a few months before and after about ten ozone therapy treatments my knee was like new! The fall and the lumbar / sacral trauma brought me back to him. With great professionalism he explained the situation to me, and the path necessary for total recovery. What can I say? I run again and am training for a duathlon. I have fun, but most of all, I have no pain! Christian taught me how important conservative treatments are, ozone therapy is one of them. The constancy in treatments helps our bodies not to “get stuck”, and ozone therapy, in my specific case, has been crucial in allowing me to maintain my “status” as an athlete. And, “last but not least”, the importance of creating a relationship of total trust with your doctor! Doctor and patient must have a clear and direct relationship, and with Dr. Capuano this is possible, which is a lot. Thanks again!
