Is iSpine for ADR only?
 

I received this private message from a new member. As I typed the reply... I realized that this needs to be public instead of private.....

Welcometo the forum!!!

NO, we are not for ADR only!!! We want all things spine to feel welcome here. NOBODY is a candidate for ADR only... we have many more options. I've been attending the major spine conferences for more than 4 years now and there is so much more than ADR available now, and more on the horizon. Within the next decade, I believe that total disc replacement will not look like anything like it does today.

Also, for many patients finding their way to the patient forums, ADR is not their best option. Do not be discouraged by the number of people who have failed other treatments. The member populations of forums such as these are often 'self selecting' failures of other treatments. The successes are out playing tennis... not posting on spinal disorders forums.

Please come in and feel welcome... if you have questions ask away... if you have something to share about non-ADR treatments, please share.

Again, WELCOME!
