Very safe to use with a fusion, disc replacement or discectomy

I want people to know that I don't get any kickbacks from Teeter or anybody.

Make sure you take the time to get the lumbar bridge adjusted properly to where it's comfortable for you, it's important. If you don't care for the acupuncture pts then cover them with a pad. The Teeter used to come with a pad to cover those, it can take some time to get used to those things.

I hope you get relief with this. Take it slow to get used to it and then post here and let us know how it goes. Have some help the first few times you use it. Don't flip while alone until you're used to it. It takes time to get to a upside position and you may not want to flip all the way. What you want is pain relief and I hope it gives you that. That's what I want.

Disc replacement, I wouldn't recommend that to our cat that I hate. I think it's riskier than fusion and it's a hard, hard recovery. From what I have read more patients have had worse outcomes vs doing nothing at all.

I often wondered about disc replacement, I have a friend in ca that wants this done. It has been tossed around in conversations, but him like me will wait untill the pain is unbareable..

I know it thought about it. But I have to admit I am afraid of the thought about it. Since I was told that I needed surgery I've been doing a lots of research. I have found another procedure as well it's laser surgery. This sounds good I will look into it further. Here is the link in case someone here may want to look at this also.
