Has anyone had a procedure called Charite Artificial Disc replacement?

Question:

I have had two prior surgeries to remove ruptured discs in the lumbar region of my back. The doctor is now talking about doing a fusion. I have researched Charite (pronounced Share-a-tay) and believe this might be better in my case. Any opinions? I found out about this after I spoke with him last and I'm going to bring it up on my next appointment. I do have degenerative disc disease but don't know the extent of it.

Answers:
Two of my patients have got spinal surgery in India.One was treated for spondylolistheis by spinal fusion and the other for disc replacement.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to nerve compression have totally gone.

Spinal Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as spine surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.

The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your spine surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.i strongly recommend you to talk to this company,checkout your options with surgery from them.Your symptoms are very similar to my patients and i am sure that forerunners can be of help to you.

Before you have a fusion, try a one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax to really get rid of the cause!

It's amazing and really worth a try - I've experienced the treatment myself. :-)

Just - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It worth even a long journey! :-)
