Martial arts can be a great exercise activity — keeping the body healthy and the mind sharp. The benefits aren't without risk. In this video, one woman recounts the spine injury she suffered after taking a taekwondo class. The pain led to years of treatment and several cervical fusion surgeries. It wasn't until she met Top US Spine Surgeon, Dr. Hooman Melamed, that she was able to finally get relief. Dr. Melamed performed a first-of-its-kind surgery to repair damage to her neck and give her a new lease on life.
