Ray,

I'd very careful before trying this procedure. The FDA trial in the US has just started and it really hasn't been proven to succeed anywhere in the world. Even the spine brokers are hesitant to put a success rate on it yet.

As it stands, insurance companies won't cover it until it's been proven to have a better or same success rate as traditional procedures.

This is your spine. Keep researching and ask true medical professionals questions about your findings. They will be your greatest source of unbiased information.

Good luck,

Bob
