3B Orthopedics (where Dr. Balderston is) is similar to the group LuD mentioned, but obviously the Carolina practice is much closer to you geographically. My chart landed with Dr. Balderston after another doc in the practice took a look at my films and said none of the less invasive options were going to provide a more long lasting result.
I agree that it's enormously frustrating to have to fight back pain with no clear path toward resolution. I definitely hope you're able to find a solid solution to your own spine troubles.
