Dr. Tamir Tawfik is the reason my son is alive and well and on his way back to a full recovery. You see my son Logan suffered a severe spinal injury during a high school football game this year and by many accounts should be paralyzed from the neck down, but due to the swift expert actions of Dr. Tawfik my son is a walking miracle.

My family will forever be thankful for his professional and caring approach.

Dr. Tamir Tawfik is an excellent physician. I can't say enough good things about my husbands experience with the surgery Dr. Tawfik did. Not only did he do an excellent job on my husbands surgery, but he is compassionate, caring and really takes the time explaining to our family what he was doing and what to expect.

My husband and my entire family would agree he is an excellent neurosurgeon, and would highly recommend him.

Right from the start Dr. Tawfik had my best interests out front. His minimally invasive approach was both welcome and effective. The day of the surgery I had improvements I never expected so fast.

Yasmine was just great with getting everything set up so I had little to no per-surgery stress. I can't recommend them strongly enough.

3 Essential Tips to Prevent Your Back Pain

Maintaining a healthy spine is essential for overall well-being and can prevent the discomfort and limitations associated with back pain. Here are three key areas to focus on:

Mindful Posture

  • Ergonomic Workspaces: Visit places like Staples in Jersey City to find ergonomic chairs and desks that encourage proper posture.

  • Advice: Make it a habit to regularly adjust your sitting position. Also, take brief breaks every hour to walk or stretch, alleviating the strain on your spine.

Adequate Sleep and Balanced Nutrition

Your spine’s health is also influenced by your sleep patterns and diet.

  • Mattress Stores: A visit to stores like Mattress Firm Jersey City can help you find a mattress that provides the right support for your spine.
