Life has a way of wearing us down and causing certain structures to deteriorate accidents can do the same. As we age, our spines are prone to degeneration and wear and tear. Accidents can cause similar results or worse. In both cases, the discs are highly prone to damage and can suffer from injuries such as bulging or the material actually breaking completely though the outer portion of the disc. When that happens it is called a herniated disc.
So what are the best ways to determine if you have a herniated disc? Or where the damage has occurred, is it in the lower back, neck, or upper back. You may experience numbness, pain and weakness in a particular area. The most common area however, is the lower back.
Usually we order an MRI or a CT scan in order to rule in the diagnosis of a herniated disc and rule out some other more serious problem. Depending on the severity of the case, the pain may last for weeks or months or even years. In most of the cases I see, the pain has been there for many months and is getting to the point of becoming disabling.
Because of the frequency with which herniated discs occur, there are many treatments that have been developed to treat them.
Some of the most commonly used traditional medical options for herniated discs include physical therapy, where the therapist designs an exercise program specifically for the patient, Stretching, yoga, and Pilates are also often prescribed. Doctors will also attempt to alleviate the pain by prescribing medication, performing spinal injections or recommending surgery.
In my experience most of these treatments don't offer a long term solution. That is why people seek out my office and spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is by far the most successful treatment I have seen 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.
Treatments using spinal decompression typically last 4-6 weeks and usually consist of 20 sessions. This is also combined with comprehensive core strengthening and spinal rehabilitation to deal with the muscle weakness that accompanies herniated discs.
Herniated disc pain can be a life altering experience and knowing where to turn can be difficult. If you don't treat the actual problem you virtually guarantee another episode so it is best to choose a treatment like spinal decompression for a long term solution - 15255
