Disc injuries suck. They’re painful. Stabbing and burning pain in the low back, hips, and legs. It feels like nothing can make it better. Maybe this super weird position I sit or stand in, but generally, in my everyday life, nothing helps.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sit, I can’t stand. I can’t exercise, I can’t bend over, I can’t go to the bathroom. I just can’t anymore.
If you’re dealing with pain, tingling, or numbness down your hips or legs, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with a herniated or bulging disc.
How do you treat a herniated disc or bulging disc?
Most people think that a herniated disc means surgery. Fortunately, they’re wrong.
While yes, surgery is an option, we find that the success rate is all over the map. We read some research indicating that surgery is 60-80% effective. That’s a 20-40% failure rate!
“I recommend you let me cut into your spine and take this piece of disc out. What are the risks? Well 20-40% of the time it doesn’t work.”
These don’t sound like great odds in our opinion. We may be biased because we typically see so many patients that are “surgical candidates” that end up pushing back or even canceling their surgeries altogether.
How you may ask? Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is how.
Non-surgical spinal decompression appears to be the best way to naturally reduce disc bulges and herniations.
What is happening in a disc bulge or herniation?
In a disc bulging or herniation situation, you have a soft disc between the bones of your spine, that was either loaded too heavy or too fast, you moved in the wrong position, or the muscles surrounding that area weren’t strong or coordinated enough to support the simple movement you just made. Whatever happened to cause this, you ended up with herniated disc material encroaching on your spinal column, or your spinal nerves, causing spinal stenosis, and ultimately pain, tingling, and numbness in the low back or down the leg.
Once these discs herniate, they usually produce pain FROM the disc itself, and if they’re herniated enough into the lateral recess of the spine (the hole that the nerve comes out) they can compress the nerve and cause symptoms like sciatica, or burning, numbness, cramping, or tingling into the lower leg or foot. These symptoms can feel unrelenting. They can keep you from sleeping, walking normally, sitting or standing, washing the dishes, driving, etc. These symptoms can completely ruin your life.
Most people think that the only option to treat herniated discs is surgical intervention. Many people try PT, the chiropractor, injections, braces, giving up everything, yet they’re still in pain. They can’t sleep, they can’t work, they can’t do ANYTHING because of the pain. It won’t stop.
Well, I am here to tell you about another option. It’s called nonsurgical spinal decompression, and it’s an amazing new technology.
I have never seen such incredible results in my life for our patients.
We are consistently watching people cancel their spinal surgeries because they’re responding so well to our Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression program. Our program is like no other program. The technology we use helps us identify EXACTLY the position you need to be in to have success. And people can show results in as little as 1-2 weeks. It’s incredible.
I’m thinking of a particular patient.
She responded to one of our ads regarding disc herniations. We connected. I was heartbroken to hear she had surgery scheduled within 1 month of our consultation. She said she had tried everything. She listed the therapies off and they all sounded familiar. I knew she hadn’t tried everything because she had never been in our office.
I hated to see her go through surgery knowing that there was a 20-40% failure rate. I wanted the opportunity to help.
She gave it to me.
We were able to get 12 decompression treatments in by the date of her scheduled surgery.
Guess how she was feeling the day of her scheduled surgery?
