A member asked:
Can you tell me if spine fusion will work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends, but not: Normally. If you have instability, then yes. However, if it is just to treat pain, you will most likely just trade the pain for another level. Only do it if you have tried all other medications and therapies.
