How Patients With Chronic Back Pain Due To Herniated Discs Are Benefiting From A New Non Surgical Technique: Spinal Decompression

(PRWEB) September 22, 2006 -- Most patients know that once you injure a disc (the soft jelly material between your spinal vertebrae) it can severely limit your quality of life.

Dr. Steven Shoshany www.drshoshany.com is the Founder of www.nycdisc.com, which has multiple locations throughout the New York metro area, treating hundreds of patients a week, He is an expert in treating Spinal Disc herniations and bulges without surgery utilizing the most advanced non-surgical techniques that are both FDA approved and safe.

One of the reasons that your Discs do not heal properly is that after we are done growing the blood supply to the disc is limited. Without a proper blood supply the tissue does not heal properly and once injures continues to degenerate. If you injure your muscle or bone it heals quite nicely in a short period of time, an example would be a fracture, once a bone is fractured the bone is stronger in the area fractured then prior to the injury. To the contrary once a disc is injured it cannot heal properly and the result is a permanent weak link. Disc injuries can flair up and time there is excessive forces put on the disc and can create a lifetime of suffering.www.drshoshany.com

Most people treat the symptom as opposed to the actual problem like treating this injury with medications, and injections. This new and exciting technology is called Spinal Disc Decompression treatment. The way it works is by putting the patient in a non gravity position with very specialized equipment over a period of twenty visits. What so unique about this treatment is the discs actually heal and the disc space heightens and the disc tissue regains it blood supply and the ligaments can properly heal. This medical breakthrough has changed the lives of many people suffering with Disc herniations.

This technique is FDA approved and is done over a period of about twenty visits and each visit last about a half hour during which patients can watch television. When deciding to do this therapy first have a MRI validating proof of herniation and the level of disc injury, If the disc lesion is contained the success rate is extremely high.

When making a decision about where and who to see remember that the equipment is as good as the physician using it. If you are considering more invasive treatment for your problem like injections or surgery please do you research first and look at the statistics of failed back surgeries (about 60%). Spinal Disc decompression is 86%-91% successful in not only freeing patients from pain but resolving the Disc herniations which allows you to return back to normal activity.
