Hello everyone, I would like to hear opinions on microspinesurgery .
I have been suffering from back pain for many many years and I have come to a point where it's everyday and affects my daily life...
I've done Chiropractice care ,PT,inyections, Decompression,Accupuncture,Massage and I have been told that I need a Disc replacement by one Neurosurgeon,another said disc fusion,I have problems at the cervical,thoracic and lumbar area.
I want to know if anyone has experienced or heard of Microspine Surgery in Funiak Florida?
I'm thinking that;s the route I would like to take because is less invassive, any suggestions?
Thanks so much !!

Microspine in Fl.
I had two wrecks in 05. In 06 went to Microspine, had 3 surgeries on lower discs.
Today my back still hurts, now cannot run, do any activities that require movement of lower spine, no more weight lifting, no riding horses as this compresses the spine, etc. Cannot hold a job as I cannot sit or stand for more than a half hour without bringing on the SAME pain that I had before the surgeries.
My Blue Cross insurance only paid a portion of the bill and JOANNA in Microspine office assured me they would "forgive" any overage the insurance didn't cover. Well, they lied and the overage was put on my credit as a bad mark as I cannot hold a job to pay it off. Husband left me because he couldn't stand me hurting all the time. Am now an indigent with no income and no way to work. BEWARE.

Had a good result with microSpine
Not sure about the guy who was in two car wrecks, maybe he was in too bad of shape. But I had a good result with Dr. Mork. I had back pain and they did a discectomy on me. Am I perfect, no, but I am 80% better. They were honest with that my success rate for what i had was around 70%. As for billing, Microspine is the only guys I could find that took any insurance. I have cigna and they are in network for me. I would recommend them and you can email me if you have a question but they were good docs.
