Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy Can Help Relieve Chronic Back Pain, Due To Sciatica or Bulging Discs, Without Surgery or Addictive Drugs

Chronic lower back pain disability is the most expensive benign condition that is medically treated in industrial countries; it is also the number one cause of disability in persons under age 45. Disc disease costs the health care system more than $50 billion a year! Now for the first time, a relatively new technology, challenges the need for spinal disc surgery. It is called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a relatively new medical technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs allowing them to go back to their nature state! And unlike “standard” spinal disc treatments such as surgery, it’s 100% natural and costs way, way less.

Athletes & TV Personalities Rave About Spinal Decompression!

Once you experience Spinal Decompression Therapy yourself, you’ll understand why pro athletes, including PGA golfers, pro football players and TV personalities rave about this “not-so-new” disc therapy. Plus, the entire program can be completed in just a few weeks—it’s not an ongoing process, nor is it a short-term “fix.”

Benefits of a Back Pain Relief Program Which Includes Spinal Decompression

1.No Surgery Involved
2.No Recovery Time
3.No Addictive Drugs
4.Up to 90% Cheaper Than Surgery

What Are Treatments Like?

You’re fitted with a special support system, and lie face up on the comfortable treatment bed. The computer is programmed to do the rest. It creates decompression of your discs and the healing begins. The best part is that all you feel is a gentle, painless, intermittent pulling. It’s so relaxing that most patients fall asleep during treatment.

Each session lasts 30 minutes. Usually 15 to 20 treatments are needed with many patients getting pain relief after just a few treatments, or as little as just one session. If you would like to see if non-surgical spinal decompression would be the answer to your back pain, call 732-719-8148 and tell my staff you want your FREE Back Pain, Qualification Evaluation. It’s absolutely free with no strings attached.

Health Update: Whiplash

Interesting Facts
About Whiplash

We all know the most common causes of “whiplash” are injuries that typically arise from automobile accidents or, motor vehicle collisions (MVC’s) although whiplash can also occur from slip and fall and virtually, any injury where your head is whipped backwards. But there are many things about whiplash you may not be aware of, which is the reason for this month’s Heath Update on whiplash.

For example, did you know the effect whiplash has on public health (in general) is tremendous? The number of cases occurring annually is frequently quoted as 1,000,000 per year, but this is based on an outdated (1971) and incomplete dataset. A more recent figure of 3 million per year is considered to be more accurate because it’s based on several governmental databases and it accounts for the expected number of unreported cases by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).  That’s a huge difference!  The updated figure accounts for whiplash victims not attended to by emergency medical services. In less catastrophic accidents, the injured party may not appear to be significantly injured at the scene of the MVC and decline emergency care and hence, the MVC will to unreported to a governmental data collection center.

Another interesting study surveyed over 3500 chiropractors who were asked if they commonly applied cervical (neck) spinal manipulation to patients who had known herniated discs or protruded discs (in their neck). Over 90% of the chiropractors indicated they found it safe and effective to utilize cervical adjustments (manipulation) in this patient population. It is VERY important for you to know this as frequently, you may be told by your medical doctor (or next door neighbor), “…don’t let anyone crack your neck!” Now, you can rest assured that in the experience of MANY chiropractors (not just me), significant benefits can be achieved by this treatment approach.  Moreover, the sooner neck adjustments are applied, the better the results - so don’t wait to get a chiropractic treatment after an MVC!

Another interesting study investigated the “proper” or “best” seated position in a car during a rear-end collision, based on an analysis of many previously published studies on this topic.  Because the seated position of the person involved in a MVC is related to the degree of the injury, the factors studied included the angle of the seat back, seat-bottom angle, the density of the foam in the seatback, the height above the floor [of the knees], and the presence of armrests in cars.  They found that the seat back angle of 110-130 degrees reduced disc pressure and low back muscle activity but 110 degrees – MAX. – was found to minimize the forward positioning of the head. A 5 degree downwards tilt of the seat bottom further reduced the pressure in the low back discs and muscle activity as measured by an EMG Test (electromyography).  The use of armrests and the use of a lumbar support were also found to be important to reduce injuries associated with MVCs.  This combination was reported to be optimum for all of us to use in order to minimize the bodily injury in a rear-end MVC. Other important factors included firm dense foam in the seat back, an adjustable seat bottom (for angle, height, and front to back distance), horizontal and vertical lumbar support adjustments (…best if they pulsate to reduce the static load encountered in a crash), seat shock absorbers, and seat adjustments for front to back to adjust for different patient heights.

We hope this information is helpful. We realize you have a choice in where you go for your health care needs.  We truly appreciate your consideration in allowing us to help you through this potentially difficult process.

Spinal Decompression DRX 9000 with Dr. Joseph Cilea

What is spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for certain types of chronic back pain.  Mechanical decompression works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and vertebrae. Spinal decompression is one of the most exciting medical treatments developed in many years, since it demonstrates good statistical results for long term pain relief.

The most common spinal condition treated with decompression treatment is a herniated disc. Spinal compression can cause disc herniations to expand, putting pressure on surrounding spinal nerve roots Decompression treatment takes the pressure off these damaged discs so that the disc bulge will shrink back closer to its original size.

Degenerative disc disease is also a common condition treated with decompression therapy. Loss of disc height can be exacerbated by spinal compression, causing the vertebral bodies to move closer together. This can cause nerve compression and other forms of common back pain. Decompression eliminates the overwhelming pressure on degenerated discs reducing or eliminating painful symptoms.

Facet joint syndrome is yet another condition treated with spinal decompression. Facet syndrome causes pain due to arthritic changes in the vertebral bones. Decompression helps to create more space between the vertebrae, hopefully reducing painful symptoms.

In order to determine if you are a candidate for spinal decompression a thorough history, exam and review of diagnostic tests including MRI’s will be necessary.  Once accepted a typical decompression program is 4 to 8 weeks in duration.  Over this period 12 to 20 treatment sessions are performed.  Each treatment session is approximately one hour long and includes any necessary physical therapy services.

A spinal decompression program may be covered by health insurance plans.  Each plan must be verified and discussed with patients on an individual basis.  It is important to choose a practice that has both expertise in spinal decompression and utilizes the most advanced spinal decompression technology.  The DRX 9000 and the Vax D are the industry leaders in this technology.

Dr. Cilea is the president of Advanced Wellness.  Advanced Wellness has been a leader in spinal decompression in Central New Jersey with over a thousand patients treated over the past 5 years.  They utilize the DRX 9000 technology.  To learn more about spinal decompression visit www.AdvancedDRX.com or call 732-984-9594 for a free consultation.
