Clinical Resource: Success Story: Parkview High School Football Coach Brad Bolding Receives Life-Changing Spinal Care

Parkview High School Football Coach Brad Bolding has been an active athlete for most of his life. He stayed fit after playing football in college and, when he was in his 40s, began challenging younger athletes at CrossFit events. Competitive by nature, he gave his all and ended up damaging the L4-L5 disc in his spine. His doctor referred him to The Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital at UAMS Health, where Dr. Wayne Bruffett removed most of the damaged disc last February. Bolding is once again coaching the Patriots and working out six days a week

“In my line of work, I’ve been able to refer a lot of people to UAMS Health and Dr. Bruffett. I’ve dealt with all the ortho clinics in Arkansas, and UAMS is the gold standard.” – Coach Brad Bolding, Little Rock
