Your spinal column consists of a column of twenty four movable bones called spinal vertebra. In between each vertebra is a fibrous covered disc with a jelly center. Each disc works like a shock absorber inside the spine. At time, these discs dislodge suddenly. Damage and injury to the spinal column can also cause a disc to move out from its normal position. This result is often called a disc herniation. When a disc herniates, it usually places pressure on spinal nerve roots which causes excruciating pain. Unlike other parts of the body, the disc does not have its own blood and oxygen supply and relies on the process called disc diffusion to receive its supply of oxygen and nutrients. If the flow of these nutrients becomes disrupted, vertebral discs can degenerate and cause pain. Disc degeneration may occur simply due to the aging process. Sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis/arthritis are other problems that may cause debilitating back pain and leg pain.
Now in San Diego, New Century Spine Centers has acquired the advanced spinal decompression system that can actually decompress the damaged discs that cause back and leg pain and restore their normal function. The spinal decompression treatments are noninvasive, safe and virtually painless. Similar to braces on teeth, this treatment does not cure the spine overnight. Several treatment sessions are necessary to reach best results and to keep it that way from returning. The appropriate protocol is determined on your diagnosis and other factors that need to be taken into consideration by the spinal decompression specialist.
To ensure that New Century Spine Centers has the best physicians operating the system to treat patients, they acquired San Diego’s best spinal decompression doctor. His name is Dr. Michael Pritsker, DC, and he has been featured extensively in the media for the treatment of low back and leg pain utilizing advanced spinal decompression therapy.
It is reported that low back pain is experienced by over 80% of the population in the western countries at some time during someones life span. In 60% of cases there is nothing docotrs can do except dispense anti-pain medication and advice. Traditional back pain treatment options have a history of poor results and in surgeries performed for disc problems usually 27% repeat surgery and, 69% of the repeat surgeries result in permanent disability and long term follow-up after treatment. The success rate is generally poor.
In the past there has not been a viable treatment available which provides a successful answer for pain as a result of bulging and herniated discs in the spinal cord, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, and failed back surgery cases.
Studies support that if left untreated, disc herniations can heal but there is no guarantee. If after six weeks the herniations remain they will continue to cause pain and symptoms. Evidence on x-rays demonstrates that discs that are herniated or degenerated do have the ability to heal when not compressed.
Advanced spinal decompression therapy in the southcoast spine area was designed by analyzing thousands of patient results throughout North America that used a similar technique that lowers pressure on the discs in the spine and fixes the problem. Thus by decreasing the pressure inside the disc, the disc is able to rehydrate and this restores the normal height to the disc and reduces the irritation to the spinal joints and other structures within the spine. As the disc is separated in the spine, the tears in the annulus are brought into alignment and after multiple sessions have demonstrated repair of tears. The result is a functional pain-free spinal joint that shows reduced pain and increased function. The use of the advanced drx9000 spinal decompression device in San Diego at New Century Spine Centers and the protocol creates an environment for a disc that optimizes healing of the disc and the surrounding tissue within a few short weeks. The program focuses on the ability of the body to heal itself and fix its problem. This program can be seen by visiting New Century Spine Centers or requesting a free report from www.SanDiegoBackPainTreatment.com or by calling their office at 619-630-9153.
