Hey Gillian, try and plant the idea of ADR into your GP`s mind when you see them?? Mighty oaks and things -- - -
The Charit� Artificial Disc was designed to restore disc space height, to restore motion segment flexibility, to prevent disc degeneration at adjacent segments, to reduce or eliminate pain from motion or from nerve compression, and to improve the patient's functional activities. It was designed to be biocompatible and durable. It has a life span of 40 years (85 million cycles).
