RSSProdisc Artificial Disk Replacement
People often ask me about surgical treatments for lower back pain. One that has come up more recently is the Prodisc artificial disk replacement. One thing is for sure you have to be very careful about conflicts of interest in medicine these days.
According to a recent New York Times expose half of the surgeons who participated in the trial evaluating the artificial disk had direct financial stake in the success or failure of the product. ”Instead of serving as objective gatekeepers who can screen out potential harmful or ineffective new devices or drugs, some medical experts say, clinical researchers may have incentive to overstate the value of a new product for patients.”
The positive results of this study are very suspect and just another reason to use safe and proven effective chiropractic care. I wouldn’t subject myself to any unproven invasive medical procedure, you shouldn’t either.
