Jeez guys, sorry to hear about the dodgy spine problems. One of the 5 degrees I have (My dad always said I have more degrees than a thermometer) is a Doctor of Chiropractic. The others are combined Honours BSc, MSc, MBA and PhD all engineering (offshore) related, but I digress. Whether you like Chiropractors or not, my one piece of advice is stay away from the knife unless it is the absoilute last option you have. Try traction, try flexion / distraction, try a cold beer, anything but surgery until you have exhaused all the options (I'm joking about the beer). Too may failed spinal surgeries out there. Are they needed? Actually sometimes yes but it should never be the first option. When I was practicing I saw too many people who had surgery and a couple of years later were in the same if not worse condition because the adjoining joints had become hypermobile after the surgery or excessive scar tissue had built up around the IVFs and was causing nerve compression. Pete

well, its never a 1st option, but when 4,5 and c-6 are ruptured with bone spurs and pt makes it worse, theres only one option. the risk isn't the surgery on cervicals at all. thats outpatient surgery with a high success rate. its the risk of c3 or c7 rupturing during rehab. c3 ruptured on me and required another fusion. its pts fault on the lumbar rupture. I'm not having that fixed. I'll go to another facility and rehab there. this place I'm at now is interested in the bottom line, not your health.
