A Spinal Decompression Success Story
“I would Definitely recommend this treatment program to others as I now have a quality of life that was lacking prior to this treatment. I am able to walk and go shopping without fearing pain.” Y.C.
Bad Luck May Be Good for a Bad Back!!
If you’ve endured some difficulties in your life before you got a chronic back condition you may be in luck as far as your prognosis goes. The key here is some - as in falling between no life adversity and a lot of it. A new study, to be published in the September issue of Pain surveyed 396 adult chronic back pain sufferers. They found that people who have met with some life challenge prior to a back problem reported better function and less use of the health care system for their back pain than the others.
So what constitutes some adversity? Study participants said they had dealt with illness, violence, death of a loved one or friend, relationship and social stress or disaster. The researchers explain the link in terms of resilience. They suggest those who previously dealt with some life difficulties had developed a useful degree of it.
Resilience. Hmmm. Maybe they’re on to something here.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spinal Decompression Therapy:
Q: What is spinal decompression therapy?
A: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, also known as spinal decompression, is a proven method to treat back pain, neck pain, and sciatica that are caused by bulging, herniated, and degenerated discs or facet syndrome. Those suffering from certain types of stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal and foramen) and even post-surgical patients have reported considerable pain relief from NSSD treatments.
Q: How does it work? Is it only for lower-back pain?
A: Spinal decompression gently lengthens and decompresses the spine, making negative pressures within the discs. This exchange of pressure creates an intradiscal vacuum that helps to reposition the bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place, taking pressure off of the pinched nerves.
Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a rejuvenated environment favorable to healing.
Because spinal decompression is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure, there are no side effects following treatment and not a trace of pain caused by the treatment.
The short-term and long-term benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression prevail over the typical approaches to treating severe back pain.
Q: How long does the process take?
A: The length of care is dependent upon each individual patient. The average is 12 to 24 treatments.
Q: What type of person would benefit the most from this treatment?
A: NSSD can benefit patients who suffer from protruding and herniated disc in their neck and low back. It also will help with certain kinds of stenosis or narrowing of the intervertebral foramen (nerve holes).
Q: Who should avoid it?
A: Patients who should not have spinal decompression are those with severe osteoporosis or unstable spondylolisthesis (type of common spinal fracture that results in instability-our facility offers alternative treatments for this condition). This is not an exhaustive list and it is imperative that you are thoroughly screened for your safety.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Many patient see results within a few visits; some take a little longer.
Q: Why would someone choose spinal decompression over other treatments for back pain?
A: The main reasons for utilizing spinal decompression are low risk, high effectiveness, low costs, and non-invasive. Frankly, no one should consider invasive procedure before being evaluated by a multidisciplinary team who are interested in keeping you off the surgery table. Most therapies for disc problems are aimed at the alarm system (pain) and not the underlying cause. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a wonderful therapy for the right condition; it is not the best treatment for every back problem. It is important to be evaluated by a team that offers multiple treatment options. Be a wise consumer and do your research.
Q: What advice do you have for someone considering spinal decompression?
A: All decompression systems are not the same, so do your research and pick a qualified facility with medical supervision. Make sure you are under the care of a licensed doctor who designs a specific program with measured outcomes. It is best to go to a center that offers other treatment options, like care with a chiropractor. Not every patient who suffers from neck and back pain can benefit from spinal decompression, so go where you have choices of care.

Decompress your Spine and take a pass on Surgery
Back pain from spine problems like degenerative disc disease, bulging discs and/or herniated discs is a common and serious problem. Unlike routine back pain due to strains, spinal misalignment (subluxation) or postural stress, back pain from spine problems like these conditions is often chronic and disabling.
Back pain from degenerative disc disease is a chronic episodic problem. Sufferers generally have a long history of back pain (10 years plus). They often have episodic back pain; meaning they have moderate to severe episodes of pain followed by weeks, months and even years with no pain. Over time the painful episodes becoming more severe and more frequent. Degenerative disc disease is usually worst in the morning, improves somewhat with a hot shower and activity then worsens again later at night. Degenerative disc disease back pain is usually located in the spine itself.
Back pain from a bulging disc or disc herniation usually involves not only back pain but leg pain (sciatica) as well. This is becasue the disc bulges or protrudes outward and irritates the sensitive spinal nerves. Back pain or sciatica from a disc problem can vary from a mild ache or small patch of numbness of a toe all the way to severe burning pain shooting from the back down the leg to the foot. Bending over at the waist and stretching the legs out usually worsens the pain.
Although degenerative disc disease and disc bulges and herniated discs are serious causes of back pain, there is hope. Rather than undergoing risky surgery like in the old days, you have options. One such option that is proving to be very successful is DRX9000 Spinal Decompression. Spinal decompression therapy for back pain is becoming more and more popular. Its a traction-like back pain treatment protocol that can literally help recondition a faulty disc, relieving back pain and leg pain. It does this by slowly opening up the disc to cause it to suck in water, thus rehydrating the disc. Bulging or herniated disc material is also sucked inward off of the sensitive nerves. All this without the risk of surgery or side effects of shots and drugs.
