My pain doctor did decompression on my back for stenosis. it didn't work & he said atcthis point, i need to see a surgeon to have an operation. would a vertiflex procedure help, as i do not want a fusion or a laminectomy ?

Only a Dr who has seen you and your X-rays can discuss this. Most want a procedure that stops the pain. discuss with your Drs up there.

Vertiflex procedure is designed for treating pain due to lumbar spine stenosis so it could work and for sure it is less invasive, especially at your age. You should see an orthopedist for the definite answer. Please do some research first to make sure you can see the doctor who has experience with this procedure so your time is not wasted. Good luck!
