Up until recently, Lumbar Disc Decompression referred to a surgical procedure whereby part of the spine was cut-out to remove pressure off the spinal cord or lumbar nerve roots. Now, the lumbar disc decompression or spinal disc decompression terms refer to procedures that can be either surgical or nonsurgical.
At Pines Family in Pembroke Pines we perform nonsurgical spinal decompression with a machine called the DRX9000, also available at our Weston location, Windmill Health Center. The DRX9000 was designed and built to treat neurovascular compression syndromes such as herniated discs, bulging discs, facet syndrome, and disc degeneration without surgery. Nonsurgical disc decompression helps many patients avoid back surgery, but you have to qualify medically.
If you do qualify for natural disc decompression then there is a very good chance it will help you. Will you get completely better? Sometimes, but in most cases you simply become much better than you were. It just depends what we are starting with, your age, your over-all physical condition, how much spinal degeneration there is, how many disc herniations you have, and your level of commitment to get better.
Nonsurgical spinal decompression is helping thousands of patients every day return to more normal lives and avoid surgery. And the only way to find out if it will work for YOU is to try it (but you must qualify).
Spinal decompression is very safe and it is gentle too. Our history of treating lumbar disc decompression with the DRX9000 is excellent. One of the top benefits to seeking out this form of treatment is the fact that treatment with the DRX9000, unlike surgery, cannot make you worse off than you were. Call Pines Family or our Weston location, Windmill Health Center to set up an appointment to find out if lumbar disc decompression with the DRX9000 is right for you!
