GREAT News for EDS backs/necks

So I've waited to share this with you all, partly because it’s so hard to believe, partly because I wanted to be sure of it’s success and I am. My EDS greatly affected my spine. I had herniated discs and desiccations from C2-7 and L1-S1; I was bone on bone at c3-7 and L2-5 for YEARS, in increasingly debilitating pain. (See Right side of photo of lumbar side view). My back and neck problems have largely totally RESOLVED by Artificial Disc Replacement in October 2024 by Todd Lanman, MD. An absolute life changer and miracle worker who has at least 6 of these inside himself. If you have been told you need a cervical or lumbar fusion or have had a failed fusion, call Dr Lanman! He can fix you!! I have my lumbar and cervical curves back, total ROM, and regained 2” in lost height.
