Just recently I have had a plethora of patients who are desperately trying to avoid surgery. This is not surprising because this is my specialty. More and more patients are looking for an alternative way to help decompress their spine and to alleviate their pain naturally. It is amazing to me how the body adapts to years of physical, mental/emotional and chemical stress.I see patients that clearly have been struggling with their spines for decades. I also see patients who simply bulged or herniated a disc due to a traumatic incident. My favorite part in both cases is connecting with them, helping them to understand their spinal condition, their treatment options (both inside and outside my office) and offering my clinical findings as to what I feel is the most appropriate course of action to take. The majority of my patients have been to several health care practitioners prior to visiting my office. They still do not have very clear understandings as to how their condition occurred and how their symptoms relate to their clinical findings. This is why I make sure to take as much time as necessary to educate my patients thoroughly and to fill in the gaps in their understanding. In doing so we connect, form a partnership and go about drafting out a working plan on how to get the results they desire. For some that might be total pain relief. For others that might be just to manage their chronic pain. For others this means to avoid compression problems in the future by being proactive about their spinal hygiene. In all cases patients are looking to avoid having spinal surgery now or in the future. Connection is the key to our successful results. Our patients have a clear understanding of their condition and the available treatment options. If our patients are a candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression most decide it is the most logical and conservative method to achieve the results they need and deserve. |
