FAQ’s

Is this guide for someone who might need surgery — or only for people who are sure?
Yes — it’s designed for both. If you’re uncertain, overwhelmed, or skeptical, this guide gives you a structured way to decide.

Will this tell me what surgery to get?
No — but it will help you know what questions to ask and whether fusion is actually appropriate for your specific condition.

I’m in so much pain, surely surgery is needed for this amount of pain?
No — lumbar fusion is a MAJOR surgery that is not designed to address many causes of back pain. Getting a fusion will not help many causes of severe pain, … and may make the pain worse.
