New Breakthrough Medical Treatment Providing Non-Surgical Relief of Chronic Back Pain and Sciatica

Dec. 26, 2007 - PRLog -- Every year more than 14.3 million office visits for back pain are reported. It’s the second-most frequent reason that people visit their doctor. The results of these visits are predictable. The options are rest, hot and cold packs, pain medication, and physical therapy. Chronic sufferers looking for relief soon hear that only two paths exist — either live with the pain, or undergo surgery.
According to Dr. Austrager of MetroWest Spine Clinic and Spinal Decompression in Framingham,MA. LCD Therapy™ offers you a fresh new alternative if you suffer from back pain or sciatica. LCD Therapy™ is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that may offer quick relief as well as long-term results for herniated, bulging or degenerated discs, sciatica, and low-back pain.
LCD Therapy™ uses an FDA-registered computerized mechanism that provides for exacting treatment of the the lumbar spine.
Dr. Austrager states, "This is the newest approach to non-surgically treat the actual cause of back pain. If you have bulging and herniated discs, sciatica, post-surgical failures, arthritis and related challenges, you have an altogether new chance to possibly relieve nagging and chronic pain. Thousands of people across the country are using LCD Therapy™ and reporting impressive results. Up to 86 percent of those who try LCD Therapy™ are reporting relief of their pain. They are requiring less medication and are able to enjoy normal everyday activities again."
Most reports of back pain are from those between the ages of 25 and 64. Prior to LCD Therapy™, surgery, prescription pain medication, physical therapy, and chiropractic manipulation have been the primary treatments to treat most spinal problems.
Dr. Austrager states, “LCD Therapy™ can be a relaxing procedure that may provide relief from the symptoms of pain and may also stimulate the natural, self-healing abilities of your body.”
"MRI images suggest that LCD Therapy™ may help the body to re-hydrate the discs. I am not aware of any other therapy — whether physical, chiropractic, invasive injections or surgery — that provide this type of success rate," Dr. Austrager added.
Dr. Austrager explains, "Treatment is non-invasive and does not require drug therapy. The procedure uses a proprietary FDA-registered computer-controlled machine to provide gentle distraction of the afflicted spinal areas. Many patients have been successfully treated with LCD Therapy™. It delivers genuine decompression to the area of the spine that needs it, which may offer immediate relief to and may allow the body to flood the area with oxygen and blood, along with vital nutrients of which the area has typically been starved."
Many patients report that decompression effects of the LCD Therapy™ treatment begin almost immediately. "Some patients report pain relief after only a few sessions. LCD Therapy™ enables many patients to return to work and return to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle faster than anything I’ve witnessed," Dr. Austrager said.

“I first came to this office in January of 2007 for the LCD Spinal Decompression Procedure. I heard about the office from some information I received in the mail. I had stiffness and aching and was not able to exercise or engage in sports. This began in 1985 while doing a job that involved heavy lifting. I frequently needed to lie on the floor to deal with the pain. Since completing the LCD Spinal Decompression procedure, I no longer need to lie on the floor. I can sit without any aching when I stand up. I also am now able to exercise.

Dr. Austrager says the benefits of decompression therapy are as follows:
• No surgery.
• No injections or needles.
• Procedure is non-invasive.
• There is no recovery period (like surgery).
• Average treatment time is four to eight weeks with minimal follow-up.
LCD Therapy™ is quickly emerging as a preferred and efficient, cost-effective method for addressing pain management.
