Spinal Decompression: Relief From Back Pain
Low back pain and sciatica caused by disc problems can be helped with spinal decompression.
Bending over to pick up a box and zap, terrible pain shoots down your leg. It feels like you've been stabbed or shot. You can't straighten up right away and when you manage to do so, you're leaning over like the Tower of Pisa.
You've finally blown out that low back disc. The one that gave you occasional pain in the back, and some pain or numbness in the leg has finally given out. The fibers broke and now it is bulging or even herniated, meaning the center jelly of the disc has actually squirted out. The bulge or the jelly is now hitting directly on the sciatic nerve, which runs down your leg, giving you a toothache pain times ten.
What to do?
Sometimes, rest can help. Ice the back and prop your legs up if you can. If that doesn't help or it's way too painful to even do this, the old-time course of treatment is a visit to the orthopedist who will recommend epidural shots or even back surgery.
Risky business that back surgery. Statistically there are a huge number of failures after a few years time. In fact there is a name for that, FBSS, Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The pain comes back in the same spot, or above or below the area of the first surgery. Now what, another surgery?
In my 25 years of practice I've seen many people with FBSS and I can tell you I've never seen someone who said the 3rd surgery worked. If you have one surgery, and then a second you'd better hope that one takes, because the 3rd one RARELY will get you out of pain…EVER.
Fortunately there is something that has been working to help thousands of people avoid back surgery. It's called non-surgical spinal decompression. This is a miracle treatment for most people.
Decompression treatment involves a special decompression table that gently pulls the vertebra of the spine, in effect "sucking" the disc back in, and off the nerve. This treatment has been highly effective…it works for most patients.
Not everyone is a candidate for decompression treatment. If there is severe osteoporosis, a tumor, or there has been a prior surgery where there are metallic screws or implants, decompression is not available.
A good candidate for decompression, if I accept them as a patient, has in my estimate, about a 90% chance of either complete recovery or at least returning to a much better state, one that can easily be managed without drugs or surgery.
If you or someone you know is suffering with a disc problem in the low back, have them call me for a consultation. I'll let them know if they're a candidate and thus have a great chance of recovery.
