Cervical Laser Surgery

[johnglobal]

Does anyone have any experience with the spine institute or Bonati? Both offer less invasive surgery using Arthroscopic and lasers.  I was rear ended by an 18 wheeler 2 years ago and have a severely herniated C6-C7.  Did not want to go the route of fusion(doctor said I would need a second surgery in 10 years) and really need 2 levels done ....so disk replacement is not ideal.....does anyone know anything about these laser alternatives

sorry but you need the fusion..probably 3 levels...more stability..the chances of adjacent joint problems are 2.9% for 10 years..good chance you won't need more..
I am 3 weeks post op- fusion...not so bad..good luck
(lasers are good for bone spurs that are easily spotted

sir,  i have had anterior cervical discectomy and it did not work. i have 1 titanium plate and 2 titanium screws at 5-6. it has been over 3 yrs. and the pain gets worse every year. i just today looked into the bonati laser place in fla. i have family close by there and could stay with them. only problem is, i have no health insurance and they take strictly insurance patients. i'm in s.c. and the bonati institute is having a seminar here in october. i'm thinking of going just to ask why can't i pre-pay.
