Pain Relief Without Surgery

Are you or someone you know in pain? Do you want to avoid surgery? Here is an alternative treatment that may work for you.

Do you or someone you know suffer from neck or back pain? I'm sure you do.

Most people will try to tough it out and hope that the pain goes away with some over the counter medication and time. Some people will go to their medical doctor for some pain killers and muscle relaxers. Others will try physical therapy, get cortisone injections, and even go as far as having surgery. A lot of times, these attempts at pain relief are to no avail. Did you know that there is another option out there called spinal decompression?

This non-surgical disc decompression therapy can target specific discs that need treatment and decompress them back to a healthy state. During a decompression, the treatment acts like a vacuum and allows the bulging or protruding disc material to be lifted off the compressed nerve, which then allows relief of pain and/or numbness. Decompression can treat conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, neck pain and back pain.

If you have had an MRI recently and have any of the conditions above, spinal decompression may be an option for you. You can read more about the treatment at Decompression information. No one wants to be in pain!
