Thanks for asking. The C4-7 has been amazing (now 4+ months post). Range of motion and cervical pain are noticeably better with continued improvement noted. It is early for a full understanding of the L2-5 work. I already notice elimination of random numbness in my legs which drove me to surgical intervention in the first place. I'm just 5+ weeks post so I'll need a few more months and some PT to be able to fully answer your inquiry. But I'm optimistic for sure.

Good luck with your recovery and once you stop PT don’t ever cease exercising to strengthen your core and keep your weight healthy.
