I first went to Dr. Velard in the 1980s; he was able to relieve a back pain that had bothered me for several years and which my MD had told me was not treatable. I have gone to him as needed ever since. He treated my mother, my daughter, and my best friend, all of whom said he was excellent -- he helped my mother with pain that had proved resistant to treatment for many years. He's extremely skilled, and I recommend him to anyone, especially those with chronic "untreatable" back pain. He made a real difference in my quality of life.
