There are some factors in life that we can't seem to do anything about, like aging and the threat of having some kind of accident. As we age, our bones and discs will become prone to damage. And having some kind of trauma can do the same or even worse. In both cases, there are tendencies wherein the discs in our spine become damaged; like bulging or breaking open. When the inner material breaks all the way through the outer fibers this is called a herniated disc.
How do you know if you indeed do have a herniated disc? And if you do have a herniated disc where is it? Is it in the neck, mid back or lower back? The distribution of symptoms like pain, numbness and weakness my offer a clue to the location of the disc damage, however the most common area is the lower back.
The best tests to identify a herniated disc include an MRI or a CT scan. With these tests we can identify a herniated disc or rule out some other more serious problems. Depending on how severe the problem is the pain may last for a short time or for many years. Our typical patient has had the pain for many months and is getting to the point of complete disability.
Because herniated discs are not uncommon problems, there are many medical treatments designed to treat patients with this condition.
Some of the most commonly used traditional medical options for herniated discs include physical therapy, Stretching, yoga, and Pilates. Traditional treatment also may include medication, spinal injections and often surgery.
The problem is that most of these treatments don't offer a long term solution. That is the number #1 reason so many people seek out my office for spinal decompression. Spinal decompression in my opinion is the most successful treatment I have utilized for the treatment of disc pain in the lower back and neck.
I personally use the DRX9000 in my office. In the past 10 years I have offered spinal decompression to thousands of patients and have seen the most remarkable results. It provides a highly desirable alternative to invasive surgery.
The Understanding of the use of theDRX9000 is quite easy to comprehend. Since the main issue is in the treatment of herniated discs the treatment is ideal. It works by reducing the pressure in the disc until such time that a vacuum is formed. This vacuum reduces the herniation and decreases the pressure on nerves and other pain sensitive structures, reducing the feelings of pain and the disability.
Spinal Decompression requires you to undergo a minimum of 20 sessions; about 4-5 sessions in a week. This is combined with supportive exercises and other treatment modalities to increase the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
The pain of a herniated disc can be a life altering experience. Finding the right course of treatment can be a difficult proposition. If you don' choose the right course of treatment you may be doomed to repeat episodes. - 16004
