Hi There,
I used the ONZ Clinic in Germany. My Doctor was Dr Bierdstadt. I had L5S1 replaced. Using a Spinal Kinetics disc. previous to surgery I had had approx. 2 years constant pain, On MRI disc was sticking out 20x2x5mm into Right Sciatic nerve. There was severe disc degeneration. IN NZ I was told fusion was the only way for me. I felt the German model was the way forward for me. At 12 weeks post surgery I am riding my horse walk Trot and canter. Tried gallop but a bit much. I am gardening, using farm equipment such as quad bikes and mowing and harrowing gear. Need quite abit of core strength for those activities. Back is completely free of nerve pain at times I get abit sore but that is when I have over done it.
Really successful for me.
