Has anyone had this done?
I am trying to avoid neck surgery and looking at this as an option. My insurance will not cover treatment and the pamphlet I got showed the cost will be $3500-$8500 and take about 12 weeks. Payment is required "up front".
I had my first appointment today and will get a firm price in the second visit after they review the x-rays taken today.
My little 'red flag' is quivering for two reasons. First, I supplied an MRI disc from last fall and would think that would be better than the 8 or so x-rays taken today. Having to pay "up front" is the second reason for concern.
They quote an 80% success rate and if it works, I will gladly make the investment. I rarely sleep more than 2-3 hours at a stretch due to pain and that is getting old.
I have had two injections that lasted less than 3 days each. My other option is surgery, and I have the best surgeon in the state lined up; but want to avoid surgery if possible. With surgery, I will not be able to lift more than 10 lbs for three months and that is a deal killer for the rural lifestyle I live.
