Thanks for the comment ,Glen. I hope that this is the right decision for you. This was a personal view on spine simulators and certainly not a condemnation on the therapy. Pain management doctors must have some success with the implants other than monetary gain. They sell a ton of them. I'm still in a battle with insurance on a lumbar surgery. Now they won't approve an mri on my lumbar spine until I have six weeks of rehab. Does someone elect spine surgery as a first option for back pain? I have twenty five years of medical records showing attempts at rehab with my spine. Maybe it's an age thing, or new techniques for a 67 year old lumbar spine. This just defies logic in my opinion. Thank you for the comments and the best of luck in dealing with your back pain.
