Now, in Forest City, NC, one doctor has what may be the most important breakthrough in non-surgical back pain treatments. Patients are showing a success rate of 70%-88% in our offi ce - even with the most painful cases of L4-L5 herniations. Let’s face it... If the pain hasn’t gone away by now, it’s not likely to disappear on its own. Having back pain can feel like a crippling condi- tion. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost im- possible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. Finally, there’s a treatment to conquer back and leg pain without dangerous medications or painful surgery. When cushions in your back joints, called discs, get injured or wear out, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. The most common invasive treatment for disc herniations is surgery. Even with health insurance the patient is left with their own portion of the bill, in excess of $10,000-$15,000, and sometimes more. In addition, the recovery time and missed work can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months, not to mention the obvious severe risks associated with all surgeries. Before You Go Under The Knife And Opt For Spinal Surgery... You should seriously consider a less invasive ap- proach called spinal decompression. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new tech- nology that has been proven to help disc hernia- tions. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing. Will This Work For You? While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, there’s plenty of research to back up its claims. Here are just a handful of scientifi c studies… & FREE 30 Day Curves Membership For Non-Members Mo tC e “86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symp- toms” – Orthopedic Technology Review “vertebral axial [spinal] decompression was suc- cessful in 71% of the 778 cases” – Journal of Neurological Research “decompression therapy reported a 76.5% with complete remission and 19.6% with partial remis- sion of pain and disability” – Rio Grande Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery “We thus submit that decompression therapy should be considered fi rst, before the patient undergoes a surgical procedure which permanently alters the anatomy and function of the affected lumbar spine segment.” – Journal Of Neuroscience Research Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed… “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function… No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injec- tions, surgery).” As you can see, spinal decompression has a high success rate . What this means for you is that in just a matter of weeks, you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.
