Spinal decompression therapy for the treatment of lower back pain, cervical and lumbar disc herniation and sciatica pain is one of the greatest technological advancements that I have seen in the past 20 years of my practice. Approximately 80% of all my patients suffer from lower back pain and sciatica pain. More often than not, this lower back pain and sciatica pain are caused by lumbar spine disc herniation's. The other 20% of my patient population, who complained of headaches, neck pain tenderness and stiffness and pain that goes into their shoulders arms hands and fingers usually suffered from cervical spine disc herniations. This makes spinal decompression therapy the treatment of choice for most lower back pain and sciatica pain conditions, as well as the treatment of choice for people who suffer from headaches, neck pain tenderness and stiffness and pain going into the shoulders arms hands and fingers. In days of old most of the people that suffered from spinal disc herniation injuries underwent surgery. Sadly, with surgery, your results of being totally pain-free or not greater than a 50/50 chance. Now, because of spinal decompression therapy I have seen many patients avoid surgery. I have been treated many people who had failed back surgery with spinal decompression therapy and the results were nothing shortof amazing asked her pain was totally relieved. And they returned to normal active lifestyle. Medical researchers and recent clinical studies have reported spinal decompression therapy to be more effective and safer then spinal surgery. Cervical and lumbar spine disc herniation, sciatica and even spinal stenosis are caused by the compression of spinal discs. The best treatment choice for these conditions is spinal decompression therapy. Cervical disc herniations and lumbar disc herniations usually cause horrible pain in the neck, as well as the back and usually cause pain going into the shoulder arm pain and fingers and pain into the buttocks legs feet and toes. Spinal decompression therapy elongates the spine and the helps the discs absorbs nutrients that promote the healing process and causes pain relief. The cost for spinal decompression therapy is nothing compared to the cost of spinal surgery. And you will not have to suffer from a long rehabilitative process. Presently more and more insurance companies are covering the cost of spinal decompression therapy. So as I tell most of my patients. You have nothing to lose but your pain. Michael A. Kenny, D.C.
