Many People Have Tried Everything To Relieve Their Low Back Pain. Most Are Still Suffering.

May 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Trauma to the spine can also cause a disc to dislodge from its proper position.  This phenomenon is referred to as disc herniation.  When a disc herniates, it often places pressure on spinal nerve roots, thereby causing severe pain.  Unlike other parts of the body, the disc does not have its own blood 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, and posterior facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis/arthritis are other problems that may cause debilitating back pain.

New Century Spine Centers in San Diego has acquired the advanced spinal decompression system that can actually decompress the diseased disc.  The decompression treatment is noninvasive and safe.  Like braces on teeth, this therapy does not cure the spine overnight.  Several treatment sessions are required to reach optimal results.  People determine the appropriate protocol based on your diagnosis and other factors.

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.

Low back pain is experienced by 80% of the population in the western countries at some time during a persons’ life. In 60% of cases there is nothing physicians can do except dispensing pain killers and advice. Traditional therapy offered has a history of poor outcome and in surgeries performed for disc problems 27% repeat surgery and, 69% of the repeat surgeries result in permanent disability and long term follow-up.

Up until now there is not been a treatment available which provides a successful answer for pain as a result of bulging and herniated discs at one or more levels of the lumbar spine, degenerative disc disease and failed back surgery.

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.  Repair and healing of discs that have been damaged by trauma and wear and tear during our daily positions and activity that causes increased intradiscal pressures that is thought to be responsible for disc injury.

Advanced southcoast spine decompression 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.  By decreasing the pressure within the disc, the disc is able to rehydrate, thereby restoring the normal height to the disc and reducing the irritation to the facet joints and other structures.  As the disc is distracted, the tears in the annulus are brought into alignment and after 20 sessions have demonstrated repair of tears.  The result is a functional pain-free spinal joint.  The use of the spinal decompression device in San Diego and protocol creates an environment for a disc that optimizes healing of the disc and the surrounding tissue in a four to six-week period.  The program focuses on the ability of the body to heal itself.
