Dr. Bierstedt Germany ADR
Last week I posted on our media page about laminectomies and some information those considering getting one should take into account. We had more conversation from that post than any we have ever had. We also had a doctor, I presume was from the U.S. post that he agreed with most of what I posted, but thought that all option should be exhausted before ADR surgery.
Now lets stop for a moment and think about this.
How much money spent on costly procedures that may or may not produce any relief and if so only temporarily, pain and suffering, emotional distress, family distress, time lost from work due to pain, suffering or getting these costly procedures done should one actually endure? How much money, time and suffering?
What I mean by that, is to have Dr. Bierstedt in Germany with the specialists at ONZ Germany, review your case to determine if you are a candidate for ADR ( Artificial Disc Replacement ) costs $0.00. Dr. Bierstedt has done thousands of ADR surgeries and is regarded as one of the most precise surgeons in the world. He has done more Cervical ADR's than any other surgeon in the world, and has also done thousands of Lumbar ADR's as well.
To get a ONE Level ADR Lumbar or Cervical including all hospital pre-surgery test, 7 day stay in the hospital, 7 days stay at our hotel after release from the hospital, post-op rehabilitation each day after surgery at out state of the art rehab facility, and the actual cost for surgery runs about 26,000 Euros, additional levels if needed are only an additional 5,000 Euros. Rendering the cost of a 3 level around 35,000 Euros. Of course there is the cost to fly over there as well. The good news is that once you have ADR surgery you are functioning nearly immediately. Granted there is soreness from having surgery, but myself, I was up and walking all over the grounds of the hospital 2 days after surgery and was already able to use my previously non-functioning arm due to pinched nerves at C5/C6 rendering my left arm useless.
How much suffering did I endure before finding Germany to get surgery done? Well, I had an epidural injection, that wasted a day of my life, cost $1500 and gave me ZERO relief. I paid for 2 sets of steroid packs to tone down the never pain that made sleep somewhat bearable, however 2 is the limit. I wasted 6 months of my life gradually getting worse and worse, getting angry and frustrated and losing clients at my business because of it. I was sent to a spine surgeon in Denver, CO, that didn't even have time to see me, instead I was only allowed to meet his assistant for consultation. Then I was set up for surgery to have a fusion 2 weeks later, still not to meet the actual surgeon. Then there is the cost for an irreversible procedure (i.e. Fusion) that again will cause adjacent levels to fail and put me back on the hospital in 18 mo. to 5 years for another fusion...
And yet, people choose to suffer trying to get their insurance to pay for all these medically useless alternatives, losing days from work, suffering, gaining more needless scar tissue, compromising their spine further, taking steroids and pain meds that also destroy the body. When all they really need to do is get a COST FREE evaluation of the spine and possibly fly to Germany, meet in person with Dr. Bierstedt at ONZ, and get their life back!
If you are ready, we are waiting to help!

How much does Fusion surgery cost?
- On average, the prices for spinal fusion surgery are going to range anywhere from $50,000 to as much as $150,000 without any sort of insurance. With insurance, the prices will depend on your coverage. It is best to talk with your insurance to get more information, this should be done before scheduling the surgery.

Spine Restoration with ADR (Artificial Disc Replacement) - Germany
Getting the body to wellness and restoring homeostasis:
The intent of anything to do with the Central Nervous System is to restore the bodies ability to self-regulate. The vertebra move in 14 different directions with around 300,000 nerve fibers and 31 pairs of spinal nerves. When there is a block anywhere within that system what happens is "deregulation".
How may this pertain to you as a prospective spine patient? If you have a slipped disc, aka disc herniation in the cervical region your numbness and paresthesia will likely follow a specific dermatomal pattern. C5 radiates to the lateral upper arm, C6 down to the thumb and index finger, C7 to the middle digit, C8 to the 4th & 5th digit. Likewise, in the Lumbar region, a herniated disc at L2/L3 will cause nerve pain along the front of the thigh, L4 down into the lower leg and big toe, L5 across the top of the foot (potentially resulting in foot drop), and S1 will travel the lateral aspect of the lower leg to the lateral toes and bottom of the foot making it difficult to stand or walk for extended periods of time.
With prolonged pressure on the nerves leaving the spine this numbness will likely turn into muscle atrophy. If left too long before intervention we now have permanent innervation damage without potential for restoration. Many surgeons will say "just do the 'Gold Standard' and get a fusion". Often they won't even tell you there are other options!
We are here to help you find another option and instead of cause more "deregulation" of the spine by restricting normal movement of the spine and causing further stress on adjacent levels and the nerves traveling through those regions, we offer a solution able to restore the movement of the spine, virtually eliminating the potential for further degeneration, and allowing the nerves to function in their proper manner, thus allowing the body to once again self-regulate.
If this sounds like something you would like to learn more about of learn if you may be a candidate, we are here to help eliminate the doubt and the fear, and smooth the process of inquiring if you may be a candidate. Once we take a look at your MRI and films we can then give you a "solution package" with a cost all inclusive.
Our patients are numbered in the thousands! Many are out there helping spread the word of how great they feel and how happy they are to have their life back!

ADR German Disc Replacement Success Story
What we LOVE to hear.... From a recent Lumbar M6 ADR patient: http://www.myspinesolution.com & http://www.germanspinespecialists.com
Dear All,
Each of you have helped me stay alive and return to an active lifestyle. I have a great amount of respect and gratitude for your contributions and talent. As you each have talent and a gift to help people in need, I thought that having each others email might provide and avenue of communication about not only my situation but about possible benefits for others from these surgery techniques and hardware alternatives to fusion. No one wants to (or I think should) have surgery until it is the last option. Also, I'm quite sure many people who can afford the operation would like to maintain range of motion and activity over fusion or sedation.

New Look and updates
We have a new look with added videos from our surgeons at ONZ.
Videos of Dr. Bierstedt and Dr. Illerhaus - 2 of my favorite people ~ saving one patients motion preservation at a time!
The look of our GermanSpineSpecialists.com site is now very similar in color and feel of MySpineSolution.com – because we are one and the same. Why both sites? We started out as German Spine Specialists because that is what we are Specialists in Germany working on the Spine. Then we added the My Spine Solution site, for those that automatically were not interested in traveling for surgery. The reason for this was because it is SO IMPORTANT to let people know they do NOT have to settle for a fusion. That they CAN enjoy life again with a motion preservation solution (ADR = Artificial Disc Replacement).
Take a gander at out site.
Call a liaison if you have questions or concerns. We are past patients now living happily again. We have been to the edge of what we thought we could tolerate, almost give up and yet we fought to not have a fusion. Where there is a will there is a way, and we are helping open the gate so that you may find the same way we did.
The world needs to know there are amazing possibilities for help and relief from spine pain. There are options!
