The M6 replacement disk is one of the best artificial disk replacements. Unlike the disk available to Americans the M6 disk acts like a real disk. The M6 disk is made in the USA.
The NeoDisc is also made in the US and it acts like a real disk and it is easy to transplant.
There may be a way to get these treatments in the US. It's called compassionate use. Here in America we don't own rights to our bodies, the FDA does so you doctor has to petition the FDA in order to use these "experimental" treatments. The truth is none of these are experimental. They ARE tried and true and far superior to anything you can have in the US.

Sometimes it is a matter of time until we can get various treatments//get insurance to pay for them. Some kind of race against time?
