It is highly successful if done for the right reasons. Get more than one opinion.
The rate of success is 98 percent. This is fairly well documented in studies regarding the treatment of spinal stenosis for neurogenic cladication. That term refers to the symptoms a person can get with butt and leg pain because of a tight spinal canal.
