what is the cause for fusion? loss of cushioning between joint ? unstable joint alignment?
Spinal fusion typically works for fixing broken bones, reshaping the spine or making the spine more stable. But study results are mixed when the cause of the back or neck pain is unclear. read about the studies published on spinal fusion. i have read that spinal fusion often works no better than nonsurgical treatments for back pain with a cause that's not clear. often wearing a elastic brace or custom brace can help with daily routines and rest.
