Degeneration isn't that bad on MRI views. There is good disk height and the "herniation" is 3-4mm directly in the center. It rears it's head mostly when i sit.
When I stand up or lay down there isn't much discomfort. periodically I only have minimal back pain, usually it's not a problem. Most problem is sciatica. I'm sure if I become more aggressive with my activity the symptoms will worsen. So I stay as active and "controlled" as I can hoping it will resolve. But this is getting old. Always looking for advice or opinions.

North American Spine:
Theoretically that they do can work. I called them and I got a sales pitch like the DXR 9000. I think that NAS helps some people and that the technology is valid but from what I read their surgeons are hacks and there are no peer reviewed studies. A laser fired in the disk can make it better but the surgeon needs skill and training. I don't think the NAS jokers like most American surgeons are well trained. Just my opinion. You may want to roll the dice but before you do read this. http://radiology.rsna.org/content/225/3/895.full.pdf http://radiology.rsna.org/content/225/3/895.full.pdf Traction works. Learn how to do it. I am too far gone for the disk to recede but some of you may find it helpful. I still try it. I don't exceed 30 lbs for cervical.
