No. You are covered with skin. The pool water if it is unbalanced can have a negative effect on anything that contains calcium, but only if it is in the acid range, then you would see the effect on plaster, metal and teeth. Keep in mind this is a very extreme case but is has happened at least once that I have seen documented. If your swimming with an exposed back its never a good idea and not because of the bone issue but because of an infection issue.

How does the SpinaLogic bone growth stimulator work?

It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.

spinal fusion with bone grafts very rarely break or have to be redone if you have an excellent neurosurgeon. There is a group in Columbia SC...Columbia NeuroSurgery located at the Lexington Medical Center. They are the best when it comes to anything such as that.
