“Now I Can Turn My Head Normally”

I had a cervical fusion on C4-5 due to a herniated disc. In addition to the surgery, I have cervical kyphosis. Now I can rotate my head normally and with no pain. I am also able to complete activities with little to no pain. My headaches have been greatly reduced as well. Thank you so much Jim, this has been a great experience, you are great! -C.L
