    Hi Ed...

    While nerve monitoring is used in every case, it really only determines the amount of correction in a small percentage of cases where there are changes detected. Most patients never experience any change.

      Thankyou so much Ed, for that wonderful info on a brilliant Tasmanian. You really are the best. I think we could use more people like you as well, I really enjoy your posts, they bring a smile to my face a lot of the time as we have a similar sense of humour, and they make my brain work a little harder as well, which is good
      Regards
