I can speak in re to Clavel in Barcelona. Don't worry about Bergnatoli's 'package deal'. Clavel has a great touch base with his American patients A to Z. Obviously just work with a travel agent for the rest, but once you're there you're good to go. That should not be the number one concern.

My only concern with M6L as well as any ADR for that matter are sizing issues since everyone is different and for real big people, I would, in my opinion, stay away from ADR. Again, just my opinion. ADR works well for most however. But if you are a giant of a man, the loads will be substantial compared to lightweight individuals. I'm short, 5'7", about 190 lbs. if that gives you any indication. And I feel pretty good. L5/S1 fused. Two M6L above that fused level.

Chronic back pain started in 2010 while shrugging weights that a 40 yr. old shouldn't even try.

MRI in 2012 showing L4/L5, L5/S1 herniations and L2/L3 bulge.

L5/S1 taking on new shape, chronic sciatica, etc.

DEXA bone scan performed 5/7/14 showing mild osteopenia.

Surgery performed July 9th, 2014, Dr Clavel, hybrid three level lumbar.
