Default 4 treatments that work but you can't have them

The first one is DiscoGel. Discogel is an injection of gelled alcohol into a herniated disk. It is very safe and very effective.

Ozone therapy is also a very safe and effective way for reducing disk hernias.

The M6 replacement disk is one of the best artificial disk replacements. Unlike the disk available to Americans the M6 disk acts like a real disk. The M6 disk is made in the USA.

The NeoDisc is also made in the US and it acts like a real disk and it is easy to transplant.

There may be a way to get these treatments in the US. It's called compassionate use. Here in America we don't own rights to our bodies, the FDA does so you doctor has to petition the FDA in order to use these "experimental" treatments. The truth is none of these are experimental. They ARE tried and true and far superior to anything you can have in the US.

Hi, I have to disagree with the OP because Ozone treatments are available in the US. I am in the US and have had ozone injections for a herniated disk.

John, can you start a thread about your ozone treatment... I'd like to hear more.

Thanks

Default problem for prior pt's with fusions

we can't get accepted into any trials! Even though combination of fusion and adr have been done overseas with great sucess. The US based trials don't want to risk us prior fusion patients messing with their trail outcomes. (
I had not heard of the Neo; I will want to read more about that too. I have seen the M6; it looks so far advanced!

Sometimes it is a matter of time until we can get various treatments//get insurance to pay for them. Some kind of race against time?
