Q: Will Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression help a slipped disc?

A: A “bulging” or "herniated" disc is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a "slipped" disc. Studies demonstrate that Spinal Decompression Therapy succeeds at treating bulging or herniated discs in as safe and effective manner. This of course varies depending on the complexity of the injury and other factors. Many times patients are able to avoid more costly and invasive procedures.

Body Beautiful and Advanced Spine & Disc Center: Start the New Year by Getting Your Healthy Back Bac

Start the New Year by Getting Your Healthy Back Back

After the hectic holidays, many people feel the need to decompress. In some cases, that means simply finding ways to relieve the inherent stress of the season. However, those who have chronic back pain, caused by bulging or herniated discs, may need to have those discs literally decompressed.

At the Advanced Spinal and Disc Center, our non-invasive technique can, potentially, heal damaged discs, and eliminate pain, permanently. Performed on a large, computer-controlled table, it gently separates the vertebrae, thus creating a vacuum that reduces the pressure on spinal discs, while pulling fluids, oxygen, and nutrients back into them.

So, if you’re tired of suffering, come in for a free consultation, and start the New Year by getting your healthy back back.

The Plain Truth About Spinal Decompression by Steven M. Crotzer, DC

Over the years, you’ve probably heard, or made, the claim, “I’ve got a bad back,” or, “I threw my back out,” several times. It’s no wonder, though, that this is such a widespread complaint, as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finds that lower back pain is the leading cause of long-term, work-related disability in this country, where, in 2010, over $50 billion was spent treating it. It affects eight out of ten Americans at some point in their lives, and, obviously, hurts financially, as well as physically.

People often use the vague description, bad back, because they don’t know the medical terms for their conditions. Usually, however, the culprits are injured discs, which are the shock-absorbing pieces of cartilage, with jelly-like centers, between each bone, or vertebra, in the spine.

While the sturdy vertebrae rarely break, the discs frequently become compressed between them. This can cause them to bulge, or, in more severe instances, rupture, and lose their protective centers. These are the two most frequent sources of back discomfort; and, in either case, they can put pressure on nerves, causing pain that can also radiate into the buttocks and legs. Therefore, an informed sufferer might say something more specific, such as, “I’ve got a herniation at L5, which is pressing on a nerve.”

As damaged discs can no longer adequately cushion the spine, it can wear out and quickly develop arthritis. Furthermore, their lack of ability to offer proper support may trigger spasms in the spinal muscles, leading to the tight, achy feeling that many people experience daily.

Naturally, it’s impossible to cover the entire scope of disc injuries in one article; but you can get a better idea about them from the accompanying pictures, or find more information on the Internet.

Physical therapy, surgery, chiropractic, orthotics, and various joint injections, are some of the top remedies, along with anti-inflammatory and pain-killing medications. While these can be somewhat effective, in certain circumstances, I prefer solutions that are truly effective, in most situations. So, I’ve always tried to keep an open mind about alternative treatments, even though I trained at New York Chiropractic College (NYCC), a school that is among the most accepting of mainstream medicine.

During my five years as a practicing chiropractor, I have found that 90% of chronic lower back pain is caused, at least in part, by bulging or herniated discs. While that’s always bad news for patients, the good news is that this condition alone qualifies them for spinal decompression. This technique has been used since the late 20th century; and, besides spinal surgery and steroid injections, it’s the only one that directly affects the injured discs. What’s more, it’s non-invasive, and has the potential to heal them, and eliminate pain, permanently.

The procedure is performed on a large, computer-controlled table, which reduces the pressure on spinal discs, by slowly and gently separating the vertebrae. The vacuum created then pulls fluids, oxygen, and nutrients back into the discs, so that they can start healing. Normally, a patient will need 15-20 treatments, over a period of five to seven weeks, to attain the optimum outcome.

I have been using this method for two years, and have found that it can be at least as helpful as surgery, but without any of its negative effects. In order to gauge the success of my spinal decompression treatments, I devised a test to classify what I would consider desirable results for my patients. I wanted to be able to answer questions about whether or not it really works, so I had to take different factors into account.

Mainly, I measured pain reduction and the regaining of lost function, through standard tests that are used by most chiropractors, physical therapists, and spine surgeons. Since success depended heavily upon a patient’s age and overall health, I put about 120 disc patients into a “younger and healthy,” or an “older and less healthy” group, before beginning treatment. One month later, 78% of the first group, and 48% of the second, had favorable outcomes.

That meant that these patients had much less pain, or none at all, and were able to do physical activities that they couldn’t do, or that had hurt them to do, before. These results are outstanding, and typical of other spinal decompression studies. There are many statistics available regarding the success rates of other treatments, and I encourage all patients to look at them, before making a decision about which is best for them.

I especially hate to see anyone rush into back surgery, as I feel that it should be considered only after all other options have been exhausted. Even then, I advise people not to commit to it until they’ve gotten at least two opinions, and a doctor has explained, in detail, what will be done, and how it will help.

I have nothing against surgeons; in fact, I respect them, as they help a lot of people. The problem, however, is that disc surgery has serious limitations. Surgeons cannot implant artificial discs, as they can with hip and knee joints. They can only trim away herniated or protruding disc material, fuse bones, remove bone fragments to relieve nerve pressure, or burn away parts of nerves that are under constant pressure.

I am happy to be able to provide full spinal decompression protocols at the Advanced Spinal and Disc Center. We offer free consultation, during which we will answer all of your questions, and address your concerns, about the procedure. We will also analyze any lumbar X-rays, MRI films, or other reports that you bring to us, and determine whether or not further testing is needed. Spinal decompression has helped thousands of people to get rid of their chronic low back pain, so call 724.987.3221, for a free consultation, to find out if it will finally be the solution for you.
