Had this op in 2018 in Hong Kong on two lumbar joints, L3/L4 and L4/L5. Walking with the aid of a crutch and a walking stick one day, in hospital for 24 hours and had the op., walked out of hospital the next day unaided. Magic absolute Magic! Resumed my hill walking and regularly do 25 Km per week. Absolutely no pain and with a spine which feels like it did 40 years ago - I am now 80!
Fabulous. Who was the doc back then?
Dr. Cantor did my surgery in May 2022. I flew in from New Mexico to see him after researching doctors all over the country. He and his staff are absolutely wonderful. Prior to my surgery, I would rate my pain at between a 7 to 9. Since my surgery, I am 100% pain-free. I recommend him wholeheartedly!
where was your pain thanks 🙏
@@misamisa2677 my pain started in the back of my neck and then nerve pain began radiating down my right arm and my first and second finger went numb. The nerve pain was excruciating.
I have very similar issues as you , did your insurance cover the surgery as it might have for a traditional laminectomy with fusion?
@@LSU01 My insurance covered my surgery. Dr. Cantor’s staff submit pre-approvals and if the insurance company denies it, Dr Cantor submits an appeal.
@@clevelandgirl3226 Thank You!
Jeff Cantor is a pro and knows his art
Excellent explanation. Really wish the patient would have had a the surgery and described it and the recovery from the patient standpoint.
This is fantastic seriously
*This sounds very promising. My ex is an RN in an orthopedic ward, and she's told me of many patients who've had traditional spinal surgery like fusions, where the patient felt better for about a year, then ended up with worse pain than before. I can't afford to take that risk, so I've had to rely on oxycodone for the last ten years. Two spinal surgeons have evaluated me and agree that's a prudent choice in my situation. It makes me functional, but I'd rather have surgery at this point if I know it's safe and permanent. I'm tired of fighting the hassle of pain politics every day. I don't get "high" from the amount I take, and I've never overdosed, yet I'm constantly having to jump through hoops, all thanks to so many people abusing opiates.*
Switch to cannabis and you will feel better mentally
@@JeffzGoneCrazy I don't like getting stoned.

Cannabis infused high thc pain cream works awesome
Hi Rick, where about are you. I am in Canada and have had spinal fusion few years ago.
I wouldn't recommend it. They stuck rods in on both side with pins between C3-C6
Are you thinking of having it done? I would have to pay because my health coverage does not pay
You should be able to afford it since you own the Sabian co. hehe
I was born in Turkey and originally Avedis Zildjian made them there. However at the time it was
called Ottoman Empire,
Are you Armenian? Any relation to the drum company. I am an Armo. Norayr.
Please let me know what you have found out so far, Goos Luck
@@JeffzGoneCrazy I tried vaping CBD oil and it did nothing. Then I tried regular weed with THC, and that didn't work either, plus it's too strong these days and hard to regulate. I don't really like feeling stoned.
Why is this procedure not being adopted by big Health Centers and bt majority of doctors. If this is less expensive than the traditional spinal fusion/laminectomy why is it not recognized by Medicare and major health insurance.
bc it is not - if he does it it is more expensive
bc it only works for some things, in a lot of cases a fusion is the best option and this is what he told me
this makes total sense to me, the way Doctor Cantor explains this is amazing. I cant wait for my consulatation and hopefully surgery by him.
Thanks for the kind words!
thanks Dr cantor
Oh man I so need this surgery on my neck and lower back!!!
I will call the office to make sure my insurance is covered there after the New Year.
This will be so much better than the plan they have for me.
Makes sense, nice to see.
probably cant sleep well. Ive had fusion & dr opened the wrong level. Good explanation Dr Cantor
My situation exactly, same impingements in same locations, same pain and reductions in activity. I no longer run, play golf or tennis and walking distances more than 100 yds becomes painful. If I do any activity where I am bent at the waist for more than 5-10 minutes the pain starts and becomes to severe to remain in a bent position. I take Tramadol ER to help with general pain in my lower back and around the waist but the nerve pain that occurs with anything other than light activity threatens all the time. I also have cervical stenosis with 3 bulging discs that cause burning pain on the upper side of my right shoulder and neck if I lean my head forward for anything other than a few minutes, I have to keep my head erect.
Doctor Cantor can this method be used to release pressure from anterior disc bulge ? I have cord compression at 4/5 5/6 any help would be greatly appreciated
Dr. Cantor!!! Hello!! 🙂
Imagine my surprise when I just happened upon your videos while looking for an explaination of the spacer procedure my friend will be having.
I see you are still doing wonderful work helping people.
You operated on my neck in Nov. 2003 at Imperial Point Med Ctr, (now Broward Health Imperial Point). My recovery period was unavoidably extended due my husband having heart attack. But when I was able to complete the physical therapy, I was sooo much better. 19 years later, my neck is still functioning at 100%. I work in an office on the computer. I've had no more neck pain, and no mobility issues.
I thank God for directing me to you for care.
May God continue to bless you as you bless others!
Lauri Haire, Sr. Fin. Analyst
Broward Health
what did he do for your neck? Prob nothing that all the other docs are doing
Great info☀️

Thank you for watching. I hope it all goes well!
I have neck issues, I have four hernias between c3 c4 c5 c6 c7. It's hurts. What can I do doctor?
Greetings to all.
Dr Cantor, I'm told I need to have surgery on C5 and C6 but I'm hesitant. How many people have had the alternate operation you've researched and are you able to share patient contact details with their approval of course as referrals to chat with them to find out how they are feeling post op
you seriously think this guy is going to take the time to answer?
Hi, is this process available in India
Can this work with central spinal stenosis?

@@vatsalakumar I am delaying surgery as much as possible. On Gabapentin that has greatly helped and doing my core and quad exercises. At some point will wean off GAB and see how I feel. At that point I will make a decision.
Hi Dr Cantor I've been watching you I think your channel's wonderful I learned a lot after my surgery I'd like to show you some imaging from my before surgery and after to see what you think.

I had a laminectomy/Discectomy Jan 2019. This left my spine unstable and nerves crushed! June 2019 had a spine fusion. Since this I had si joint issues. I had bilateral ifuse in June 2021. All these surgeries has ruined my life. I live in AGONY. This dr is correct. I don’t know anyone that has had a spine surgery and are doing better. I wish I knew about what this dr is saying a few years ago. I did years of PT and Injections and that did absolutely nothing to help.

I live in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Do you accept insurance? I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, very similar to this patient in the video. I’ve been in physical therapy for 2 months. Seen an orthopedic doctor and he recommended surgery. I’m slowly recovering, but now my physical therapist recommended that I research a surgeon in case of a drop foot or something severe. What is an estimate for self-pay patients?

The spinal nerves are below lamina
So no, it doesn't seem to matter if the tips of the lamina are twisted and it is not that uncommon.
Dr, I have tried to reach your clinic on many occasions but no one seems to answer my calls #Dr #cantor
Are there any doctors in NY who do this? Thanks in advanc for any help anyone can provide.

I had 3 laminectomies in my lumber area. L3-L4, L4- L5, L5- S1. I wish that I would have seen this before I had three removed. Now my symptoms are worse with the nerve pain in my lower extremities than they where before the surgery. So now with the failed back surgery, is this type of surgery still possible for better results? Please help. I really do need some help. Thank you.

Every procedure has pros and cons ingeneral . what's the cons of ultrasonics
You cannot fix instability (spondylolisthesis) with this. Instability is one reason fusion is performed. Also if your problem is an anterior osteophyte from a disk, you cannot reach it at upper levels of the spine where the spinal cord will be in the way, from a posterior approach.
@@bengt_axle nice 👍.but then what's the cons of fusion?
@@Elsonoliveira716 adjacent segment syndrome.
he used this cutting device so has to do open surgery to get it in there then fuses you anyway so no big advantage he is just selling hype

Any hope for us who are not in America ?
I think they are working on this in the UK. But do check it thoroughly out. Many doctors do not seem to take the time to explain the EXACT SURGERY they are to perform.
People travel from all over the world to see Dr. Cantor. I flew in to see him from New Mexico. He is located in Florida. It was well worth the trip. I am 100% pain free!
The surgery is unaffordable for most of us here in UK

So get discectomy. Got it
