NC Doctors

Patients typically undergo 15 to 20 treatment sessions.  Each treatment lasts between 30 – 45 minutes.  This, of course, depends on your individual case and is determined by a thorough evaluation.  Following each session, a cold pack and electric muscle stimulation are applied to help pain relief and speed the healing process.

It is important to note that many patients get substantial, immediate relief after just a few treatments.  Some after just one!

The really good news is…this is not something you have to continue to do for the rest of your life.  So, it is not a big commitment when you think of the reward. NO MORE PAIN!

Restoration of disc height through non-surgical spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: a retrospective cohort study.

Background

Because previous studies have suggested that motorized non-surgical spinal decompression can reduce chronic low back pain (LBP) due to disc degeneration (discogenic low back pain) and disc herniation, it has accordingly been hypothesized that the reduction of pressure on affected discs will facilitate their regeneration. The goal of this study was to determine if changes in LBP, as measured on a verbal rating scale, before and after a 6-week treatment period with non-surgical spinal decompression, correlate with changes in lumbar disc height, as measured on computed tomography (CT) scans.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of adults with chronic LBP attributed to disc herniation and/or discogenic LBP who underwent a 6-week treatment protocol of motorized non-surgical spinal decompression via the DRX9000 with CT scans before and after treatment. The main outcomes were changes in pain as measured on a verbal rating scale from 0 to 10 during a flexion-extension range of motion evaluation and changes in disc height as measured on CT scans. Paired t-test or linear regression was used as appropriate with p < 0.05 considered to be statistically significant.

Results

We identified 30 patients with lumbar disc herniation with an average age of 65 years, body mass index of 29 kg/m², 21 females and 9 males, and an average duration of LBP of 12.5 weeks. During treatment, low back pain decreased from 6.2 (SD 2.2) to 1.6 (2.3, p < 0.001) and disc height increased from 7.5 (1.7) mm to 8.8 (1.7) mm (p < 0.001). Increase in disc height and reduction in pain were significantly correlated (r = 0.36, p = 0.044).

Conclusions

Non-surgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in pain and an increase in disc height. The correlation of these variables suggests that pain reduction may be mediated, at least in part, through a restoration of disc height.

Even if it’s chronic and you’ve been told that there’s no way to get rid of it, or that you have to have surgery to “fix” it, or that injections are the only relief you’re going to get.  Whatever you’ve been told that has you stuck thinking that you have to give up on your hopes and dreams may be completely false.  At Core Health Systems, we’ve seen people that are completely hopeless.  They have given up.  They’ve tried everything else…

They’ve been on that Epic Journey!
