A member asked:
What is the real name of the surgery that puts a "doorstopper" in the back of the cervical spine to help with non-fusion and help open the foramen? does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I might call it door stopper surgery. I would ask the Dr. if it works in women like you who live where you live who have what you have.
