A member asked:

I had back surgery 3 years ago and left with numbness in right leg and hip area. could this treatment help me? l3-5 fusion with hardware

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may: This really depends on your imaging (mri/ct) scan. If your neurological problems are arising from a spondylisthesis or foramenal stenosis, then performing an interbody fusion and increasing the height of the disc space (increasing foramenal space) and reducing the slip may improve your compression and therefore your symptoms. But this depends on your full history, physical and images. Good luck.
