Why Haven't Back Pain Sufferers Been Told These Facts? Paid Advertisement 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 con- dition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It's almost impossible 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 degen- erate 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 insur- ance 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 technology that has been proven to help disc herniations. 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… "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 Struggling to get rid of back pain? One local doctor is having great success with a non-invasive treatment. Here's What Our Patients Say…… Ann Lattimore stated "Before treatments on the Spinal Decompression Table I could barely walk to my bathroom and had severe lower back pain. After, Spinal Decompression treatments I feel wonder- ful and the fi rst time in 10 years, no lower back pain." Marian Hardy stated "Before treatments I could not get out of bed in the morn- ings and could not stand for long periods of time. Following treatments, I'm feeling great, fantastic and my back is wonderful. Very seldom do I have any back pain." Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed… "Patients reported a mean 88.9% im- provement in back pain and better func- tion…No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, sur- gery)." 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, en- joying your love life, or traveling again.
