Spinal decompression is an Alternative to Surgery and medications for people with chronic and severe neck and back pain who don't know where to go or who to trust.

Orlando SpinalAid Centers offers the latest cutting edge, FDA Cleared technology in the non-surgical treatment of serious chronic lower back pain and sciatica.

Our commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA Cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression technology for the treatment of back pain due to:

Sciatica
Herniated and/or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
A relapse or failure following surgery Spinal Stenosis

Recent advances in biotechnology, focusing on spinal decompression, have evolved into effective non-surgical treatment for herniated and degenerative spinal disc disease major causes of spinal pain. Injured discs can be treated by non-surgically decompressing the affected spinal segment, which significantly reduces intradiscal pressures, thereby permitting healing and recovery.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of spinal decompression therapy for patients suffering from low back pain caused by herniated and degenerative disc disease.

According to the National Institutes of Health, low back pain (LBP) is one of the most significant health problems facing Americans, with an estimated 85% of us having back pain at some time in our lives. Back pain is one of the primary reasons for missing work. It's also the second most common reason for doctor visits behind only upper-respiratory infections (e.g.,colds, bronchitis).

Spinal decompression therapy (DRX 9000) has been shown to be highly capable of relieving the compression on the spinal nerves caused by disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and posterior facet syndrome.

The real key to this treatment however, is that the distraction forces are applied using a logarithmic approach to avoid the typical muscle-proprioceptor response (spasm) associated with traditional traction. Since more force is directed to the joint rather than the muscles, a significant negative pressure results, expanding the space between adjacent vertebra and enhancing fluid diffusion to the discs. Restoring nutrients and blood flow to the disc encourages the healing process. In the case of a herniation, the negative pressure may be sufficient enough to help the leaking nucleus retreat back into its intended home, while the annulus can seal its tear. Patients typically undergo a series of 18 to 30 treatment sessions, each session lasting 35-40 minutes. The patient is tipically seen daily for the first two weeks of treatment, then three times a week as needed.

How long before I notice a difference in my symptoms?

Most people will feel a little better after the first treatment and usually begin to notice a reduction in their symptoms by the 7th or 8th treatment.

My doctor said I need surgery on my disc, what should I do?

At a minimum, get a second opinion. Remember, surgery, whether it is successful or not, is permanent. Plus, there are a lot of things that can go wrong during an operation. If the doctor accidentally nicks a nerve, you can get paralysis of the lower legs, you can lose feeling in your legs and a lot of times, there is so much scar tissue that develops from the surgery that your symptoms can actually get worse. So if you are about to have surgery, you owe it to yourself to get a second opinion immediately. With spinal decompression therapy, there are no side affects. 

Are the results of spinal decompression therapy long lasting?

Yes, there is a very high index of satisfaction that patients relate even long after treatment has ended. Most people remain asymptomatic indefinitely. If your case is very serious in the beginning, you may need an occasional session or two every month or so to keep the contents of the disc in their proper place to prevent your symptoms from returning.

Will people still be able to work while having this treatment done or will they have to take a couple of months off?

Most all cases of people who have spinal decompression therapy done still work. But there may be some isolated situations where the kind of work you do may interfere with treatment.

If this is such a great treatment, why are most medical doctor's recommending surgery or medications to correct herniated discs or bulging discs?

Because this technology is so new, many doctor's do not even know it exists. It takes a lot of time and effort to learn about new things and many doctors are either not interested or do not have the time.

Also, medical doctors are conditioned to either write you a prescription for your back problem and if that does not work, they recommend physical therapy or surgery. And if you are taking prescription medication for a back problem consider this; you are trying to correct a mechanical/structural problem that being the herniated disc and the compression of the spine, using a chemical solution, that being the medication. There is no way medication  was ever intended to correct this type of problem. It was designed to mainly mask your symptom long enough to get you out of their office.

Let's also mention that unfortunately there are financial incentives to perform surgery and this is not good either.

For people reading this article that are told they have a herniated disc and their doctor says they need surgery, why should they come in and see us?

All of the literature says that as much as possible, try to avoid surgery. Statistically less than 50% have success. Also there are a lot of variables and a lot of risk on top of that, you are going down a slippery slope of being predisposed to having back surgery even more frequently in the future and compared to spinal decompression therapy, you have greater chance of success.
