Ditto!

I completed an 11 mile run just before I posted that question. I try to use my pair of M6-C's in the same way that they were tested; that is I try to hold all unfused cervical joints below the atlanto-occipital joint in an extended position when I run. That way the my M6-C's get stressed in a very similar fashion to the environment in which they were tested. I hope that's Ok for my remaining two natural discs.

I'm impressed that you've managed to return to running after a lumbar ADR.
