“I can tell you if you’re listening out there, stay away from back surgery,” Kerr said. “Rehab, rehab, rehab. Don’t let anyone get in there.”

Steroid Injections increasing cartilage loss in arthritis and back pain!

Quarterly corticosteroid injections for knee osteoarthritis increased cartilage loss over the course of 2 years without providing any clinical benefit, according to a randomized controlled trial published in the May 16 issue of JAMA.

"Although the cartilage loss was not associated with worsening of symptom outcomes, rates of cartilage loss have been associated with higher rates of arthroplasty, raising the possibility of potential for longer-term adverse consequences on the health of the joint," write Timothy E. McAlindon, MD, MPH, from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression provides a safer treatment option than back surgery!

About eight in 10 U.S. adults will experience low back pain at some point in their lives, according to the National Institutes of Health, and back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, as reported by the American Chiropractic Association. However, a 2016 article in the Journal of Pain Research found that although the number of back surgeries performed in the U.S. continues to increase along with the number of people afflicted by such pain, the failure rate for these surgical procedures can be as high as 40 percent.

Disc Centers of America - Dedham offers a nonsurgical alternative for back and sciatic pain with fewer risks, called spinal decompression. Wootton’s state-of-the-art chiropractic center provides a full range of services, including spinal decompression technologies for the cervical and lumbar regions.

The team treats auto accident injuries, sports injuries, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, back pain, neck and shoulder problems, degenerative disc disease and more.

Many People Who Get Knee Surgery Don't Need It

Knee surgery is one of—if not the—most common operating room procedures in the US, and shoulder surgery doesn’t lag far behind.

Most patients assume the path to these and other joint surgeries is uncomplicated. Pain or discomfort leads to a doctor’s evaluation and medical imaging. If an MRI turns up sufficient damage or dysfunction, surgery is performed to clean up the mess.

But more and more doctors are questioning the value of this model. Their concerns are fueled in part by new placebo research that compares sham surgeries to real operations—with surprising results.

“In the sham procedure, the surgeon makes an incision and puts in the scope, but doesn’t clean anything up,” says Robert Sallis, a clinical professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine and co-director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship at Kaiser Permanente.

“What [these studies] found is that, in many cases, there was no difference between the fake and real procedures.”

SURGERY ISN’T THE ONLY OPTION!

Back pain, knee pain, neuropathy and other pain conditions are very common, and we don’t have to go under the scalpel to find relief.

Plus, surgery may not be a guarantee, and in fact, we run the risk of surgery actually making the condition worse.

Before considering any operation, it’s always best to utilize a multi-modal therapy or a mix of conservative treatments first.

Remember, there isn’t a silver bullet to chronic pain.

Finding lasting relief is a combination of the right treatments and making lifestyle adjustments to prevent further injury.

Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy for Headaches

Lots of people treat headache pain like they would any other aches or pain: With aspirin or other over the counter medication. However, in truth, this does nothing to cure headaches. It only temporarily hides the symptoms so that we can return to our normal everyday activities without pain.

Inevitably, whatever was causing the headaches to begin with will return … and so will the pain of the headaches.

But now there’s an all-natural, headache therapy that can attack the source of headaches so that we can permanently be rid of them… non-surgical spinal decompression.

Benefits of Gentle, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment

Our spinal disk experts focus on returning normal balance to the body by making a series of tiny decompressions to the affected region. The back and related spinal discs are the frame upon which the rest of the body hangs, so when it is returned into balance naturally and delicately, it can eliminate headaches and other pains very quickly and permanently.

What Brings About Discs to Slip?

The spine is made up of a chain of bones called the vertebrae. The front section of each individual vertebrae is called the vertebral body. Between each vertebrae are soft spinal discs that have a hard, multilayered casing and a gel-like center, named the nucleus pulposus.

These discs are what permit the spine to be flexible and let us lean forward or turn our upper body back and forth. Our discs also absorb shocks that are transferred to the spine while jumping or running, for example,.

When there is a slipped disc, it means that one of the spinal discs is bulging beyond the edges of the vertebral bodies that are above and below it.

By gently manipulating the spine to make sure that it goes back to its normal state, our team of spinal disc practitioners can help relieve the pressure caused by the slipped disc and provide instant relief.

5 BENEFITS OF NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

Back pain can be one of the most debilitating forms of discomfort, and happens to many people for various reasons. Luckily, a simple, noninvasive treatment called spinal decompression is available and has produced numerous success stories for relieving pain without having to have surgery. Spinal decompression involves the process of alleviating pressure that is built up over time inside the discs of the back, which are located between each vertebra. This pressure, often caused by common issues and injuries such as bad posture, is relieved through a decompression table with the help of technology. Pressure is then relieved during this treatment by allowing for nutrients and oxygen to flow back into the disc. Check out a few benefits below to see if it's right for you.

1. It’s Effective
Healing will begin as soon as after the first session. Each spinal decompression session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes long depending on the severity, and is recommended to be done around 15 to 30 times over a six-week period. A harness is used to gently stretch the spine, which opens each pressure filled disc and allows for oxygen and fluids to flow – immediately relieving pain.

2. It’s Safe
With no need for surgery or drugs, spinal decompression can be a safer alternative than other treatment methods. The chances of being injured during this process are zero to none, so there’s no fear or anxiety before-hand like there would be before going into an operating room.

3. It’s Painless
Enjoy a completely painless and relaxing treatment. During a spinal decompression session, a harness is gently fastened around the hips while you are positioned on a decompression table, which slowly moves vertically to stretch the spine. This process can be very relaxing as pressure is relieved between each vertebra.

4. It’s Cost Effective
Compared to surgery, spinal decompression is a much less costly option with a quick recovery time. Spinal surgery can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and has a chance of not being 100% effective. Spinal decompression will also allow for a full recovery of disc problems with speedy recovery, medication free. Surgery requires a long recovery process and pain medication, often leading to negative side effects.

5. Fewer Side Effects
Although rare, spinal decompression side effects may include minor muscle spasms and slight pain, whereas side effects of spinal surgery can include bleeding, infection, negative reaction to drugs, stroke, heart attack or nerve damage. It’s safe to say that spinal decompression treatment is a better option when available.

What Causes Pain Triggered By a Herniated Disc?

Having a slipped disc can be very unpleasant. In some cases, symptoms will die down in six weeks or less. This holds true in about 90% of herniated disc cases.

If disc pain lasts longer than 6 weeks, or keeps recurring over a period of several months or years, this may be a sign that it may not go away on its own. Other treatment options, including gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression treatment, should then be looked at.
