Spinal Stenosis Treatment | Patient Story

From coming in with a wheelchair and severe spinal stenosis to walking around a week out of surgery with minimal pain! Utilizing ultrasonic tools, we were able to avoid a full laminectomy and still get the results we need! cantorspine.com

Dr. Cantor did my neck surgery in May 2022. My neck pain and the nerve pain shooting down my arm was nearly unbearable. I flew in from New Mexico to see Dr. Cantor and I am so glad I did. Since my surgery, I am 100% pain free!!! Dr. Cantor is a Godsend!!!

[@arronb4618]

Hope you see this message. I'm somebody who has been through a lot in the past two years. Year and a half missed diagnosed, and then a tumor found in my head. Surgery for that July 7th, 2023, but now in so much pain. Doctors want to blame my tumor but my recent MRI shows mild stenosis near my neck. My necks in sever pain, numbness/tingling in limbs, muscles twitches everywhere, bladder problems and mental frustration. I'm too from New Mexico, rio rancho area near Albuquerque. I need some advice.

[@sigridlarsson8491]

My mom has spinal stenosis, and she’s been suffering for years now. It just keeps getting worse. I am constantly worried and it hurts so indescribably bad to see her suffer like this. This video gave me hope! She knows surgery is as option but hearing someone say that it worked for them might give her the push she needs 🙌🏼

Another Canadian here I had surgery by Dr. Cantor first week of May. Severe L4 L5 dessication with S1 compression. Procedure just like he demonstrates in his lumbar videos. I feel great no regrets and I have all my parts. 64 yrs. young.

[@JorgeRodriguez-yi8dw]

What was the cost $$ of the surgery?

[@spokeschain5922]

@@JorgeRodriguez-yi8dw A consult is $1000.00 US as per the web site. After that price would vary depending on the surgery requirements for your particular situation. There is Dr. Cantors fee for the surgery and care from his clinic, Holy Cross hospital for operating time and your stay there. Anesthesiologist fee. As for my cost that will remain private. But I will say I consider it money very well spent in my situation. Back golfing and 2 hours of pickleball every other day.

[@chukwumanwaze5942]

So much advantage to the patients and operating team. Great technology. Thanks Dr. Cantor!

[@mauiswift6391]

I’m disappointed that he could not get this treatment in Canada but can afford to go to the US for treatment by this fantastic doctor. It certainly no way to live.

my mother had sever spinal stenosis she had her first operation in the early 2000's they fused 7 disks hollowed out the spine with two metal rods on each side of her back it made her life even worst than the nerve pain, it was traumatizing to see her like that she eventually died from it she had a stroke two months after her third surgery in 2017

I have contacted your hospital, send results, but noone contacted me more then 7 days. Unfortunately I am from abroad, but but I really hope that can contact you somehow. You are my only hope in the agony of 2 months and wrong operation that did not get result with atrophy of hand muscles, severe nerv damage because of problems in the neck

I was diagnosed with Crohn's Spondyloarthropathy in 1997. In the past 25 years, I have developed severe stenosis, and my lumbar spine has become increasingly more unmanageable and painful. Through the years, surgery has been discussed at length, though ultimately deemed a bad idea by the surgeons themselves. What else is there for me to do, Doctor?

[@clevelandgirl3226]

Hi Mel, Have a copy of your MRI and X-rays sent to Dr. Cantor's office in Fort Lauderdale. He can do a Zoom consultation with you.

[@melstiller8561]

@@clevelandgirl3226 -- Thank you for the information, Cleveland Girl! I'll be going over my latest test results when I see my rheumatologist next month. Considering what happened to my lumbar spine 2 weeks ago (you could hear loud cracking and popping sounds), the specialist may decide to send me for x-rays. My spine hasn't been the same since -- not by a long shot!

[@StanWatt.]

My lumbar area has no curve now. It's straight, and I may have to have yet another MRI to see how much worse it's become. The ACD and F worked well, as did the laminectomy later.
