There are things in life that we can not control such as aging or accidents. As our bodies age through time, our bones become more brittle and therefore it makes it more prone for damage. Trauma caused by accidents can also cause damage to our bones and discs.
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.
To determine the location and severity of the disc problem I usually order an MRI or CT scan after a thorough history and exam have been done. Patients with disc problems may experience pain that may last for weeks, months or many years. Most of the patients that present to the Arizona Back Institute have been suffering for quite some time.
Over time, there are several ways and treatments on how to treat herniated discs.
Some of the most commonly used traditional medical options for herniated discs include physical therapy, Stretching, yoga, and Pilates. Traditional treatment also may include medication, spinal injections and often surgery.
Since patients who suffer from herniated disc suffers from prolonged pain, they are also seeking for a medical procedure that would address their pain long-term. Decompression therapy does that. It has been the most effective procedure that alleviates the pain for a long period of time.
Personally, I prefer using DRX9000 in my office. After my 10 years of medical service, I have seen the best results. It is the best non-invasive procedure to address disc problems.
DRX9000 is very user friendly and at the same time very much effective. It helps reduce the pressure in the disc and at the same time alleviate the pain. This procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical.
Spinal Decompression requires you to undergo a minimum of 20 sessions; about 4-5 sessions in a week. This is combined with supportive exercises and other treatment modalities to increase the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
The pain of a herniated disc can be a life altering experience. Finding the right course of treatment can be a difficult proposition. If you don choose the right course of treatment you may be doomed to repeat episodes. - 15437
