I found out there is an orthopaedic surgeon in Calgary doing single level ADR using the Podisc. 1 year plus waiting list. Health Canada gives them a hard time when they accept out of province patients.
The gal running the office told me about a surgeon in London Ontario who I got a referral to who is also doing single level ADR using Prodisc. I just got a letter back to my Doctor last Friday and that letter states I'm non- surgical with my condition.
So again ADR is just beginning in Canada and Europe is at least 18 years ahead with ADR process & procedure.
I have not contacted OHIP yet but I am n the process of research right now. I spoke with a Nurse friend 28 year veteran and even she is under the impression that if you can't get a type of treatment in Ontario, and you go outside the country for the treatment OHIP will cover the cost. I have my doubts having dealt with Government agencies most of my career.
