Mr. Augusto Curreli, from Cagliari (Italy), and his wife, explain their experience starting with the moment of diagnosis of the disease. The patient explains that at that time he had several symptoms: pain, headaches, lack of sensitivity, difficulty walking, urinating, etc.

Once they found the Institut Chiari de Barcelona, the patient went to Barcelona for an appointment and he underwent surgery in 2011 using the Filum System® method. He explains how, he felt reborn after the surgery: the pains and headaches disappeared, the sensitivity returned and he controlled sphincters and the gait.

In 2017, after his check-up visit 6 years after the surgery, he believes -from a subjective perspective- that he has improved by 60-70%, with the doctor’s agreement (from an objective perspective).

The couple advises patients to go to the Institut Chiari & Syringomyelia & Scoliosis in Barcelona, where they can only help them with their professionalism!
