Positive surgical experiences and good patient outcomes aren’t unusual, and your story proves it. If you’ve received minimally disruptive surgical treatment and recovered from chronic back or leg pain, we encourage you to let others benefit from your experience. By becoming a Patient Ambassador and sharing your story, you add a human element to the degenerative spine disorder landscape and by default, increase public awareness of chronic back or leg pain and better treatment solutions for patients.
Our Ambassadors are committed to supporting our community and serving as patient role models. Patient Ambassadors motivate others by sharing their stories. Sometimes, Ambassadors may be asked to represent The Better Way Back™ to the media. If you would like to be considered for a Patient Ambassador role, please fill out and submit your application.
Our hope is that your story will inspire others to find their own better way back.

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.
