Ask an Ambassador

If you or a loved one currently suffer from chronic back or leg pain, we encourage you to submit an inquiry to a Patient Ambassador.

If I have minimally disruptive spine surgery, when will I be able to return to the activities that I love? Will I experience any post-operative pain?

Talking to someone who’s been down the same road can help you get answers to your questions and show you that recovery from chronic back or leg pain is possible.

Our Patient Ambassadors found treatment and overcame chronic back or leg pain after having the minimally disruptive XLIF® procedure, so they can speak to you from personal experience.

If you’re suffering with chronic back or leg pain and aren’t sure where to find help, we encourage you to stop wondering and start asking. Upon request, we’ll match you with an Ambassador, and you can begin communicating via phone or e-mail. It’s that easy!

Patient Ambassadors are non-paid volunteers and can only speak about their own experiences. Your experience may be different. They do not represent their surgeons or NuVasive,® and they are not medical professionals. Information you receive from Patient Ambassadors cannot replace the relationship that you have with your health care professional. Only your doctor can determine whether you are a suitable candidate for surgical treatment. Please discuss the possible benefits and potential risks of having surgery with your doctor.
