If you have never had spinal surgery before you might be a candidate. My husband has had two prior lumbar surgeries. He went to BioSpine and they joined others in declining to work on him.

The first surgery was in 2006. It appeared to take care of the issue for five or six years. The second surgery was in 2015, an attempt to "clean up" and remove hardware from the 2006 surgery. It was not successful. Now the only thing offered is a spinal cord stimulator to hopefully "help control" the pain level when standing or walking.
