Minimally invasive surgery turns back the clock on age-related vertebral problems Carmen Mottu
CARMEN MOTTU IS A BUSY WOMAN. SHE’S AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE RED HAT SOCIETY, a women’s organization whose members are identifiable by their red hats and purple attire. She loves to travel, visiting New York City for the first time last year, walking nonstop to places like the Empire State Building and Times Square. And she has 11 grandchildren who keep the 73 year old on the go. Last year, Mottu would have told you a very different story. What she thought was a pinched nerve quickly developed into a pain so intense, she couldn’t drive over a bump in the road without crying out in pain. BY GALE SMITH
