“I was extremely afraid of getting fusion surgery. I worked for pain management doctors before, and many patients still had pain and discomfort after fusion surgery. I wanted to be able to bend and move freely. I had the TOPS procedure with Dr. John Houten. It has given me the ability to travel again. The pain I had in my legs is gone.
Do your homework. Review the TOPS procedure and compare it to the fusion surgery. I was walking and climbing stairs with assistance after 2 days. Fusion surgery limits movements, and recovery is slower. The recovery from the TOPS procedure was simple and easy. I am happy with my decision.”
