Do you suffer from degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or other spinal problems? Has your physician suggested an epidural or that you consider surgery?

Facts about epidurals and surgery:

• Most surgeries take place again within 1–5 years.

• The brain habituates to stimulus, so if the epidural works the 1st time, then the brain and body get used to it and it can’t work anymore.

You may want to consider spinal decompression therapy first. Spinal decompression therapy has proven effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. If you have already had surgery, spinal decompression therapy can still be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.

Spinal discs do not get oxygen and fresh blood consistently. Decompression and motion can enhance healing by restoring the needed nutrients back into the discs. During therapy, you will go through phases of distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can be placed under pressure which creates a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things. First, any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded will return to where it should be. Second, the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which can promote healing.

Spinal decompression therapy typically takes 20-40 minutes to perform depending on what the Doctor recommends. The number of therapy sessions varies from patient to patient.  Most patients find pain relief within a few sessions. However, to achieve maximum and long-lasting relief, commitment to the entire recommended treatment program is necessary. For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective.

In many instances there is more to disc problems than meets the eye. Many disc problems are not solely structural. Many disc problems are a combination of factors including:

• Weak Cerebellar Output
• Low Oxygen
• Insulin Resistance
• Adrenal System Depression or Elevation
• Sprains/Strains
• Genetic
• Stress
• Gluten Sensitivity
• Disc Herniation
• Ligament Overgrowth aka Ligament In-folding
• Spondylolisthesis

Thorough examination, proper testing and evaluation is needed to pinpoint whether or not there are other factors contributing to your disc problems.
