From A Near Life-Ending Accident To Competing In Ironman with Grant Archard, an Australian Army veteran

Outcomes Rocket

Sometimes, the most challenging aspect of an injury is not the physical pain but the mental anguish it brings.

In this episode, Saul Marquez welcomes Grant Archard, an Australian Army veteran, to share his inspiring journey with Mainstay Medical's ReActiv8 therapy. Grant's military career shifted in 2005 when a parachuting accident caused severe back injuries, leading to persistent pain that affected his daily life. Despite trying various treatments, including radiofrequency injections, only temporary relief was found until he discovered the ReActiv8 implant, a less invasive option focusing on muscle repair. Emphasizing the mental and physical challenges of chronic pain, Grant encourages others to persevere in seeking effective treatments, sharing his transformative experience of not only managing pain but also reclaiming an active lifestyle, including completing an Ironman competition.

Tune in to learn about Grant's remarkable journey, the impact of ReActiv8 therapy, and the crucial role mental health plays in overcoming chronic pain!
