L3 L4 Disc Herniation...2 Rounds of Therapy...3 Epidurals...Now What?

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...utilizing the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System for Herniated Discs...explains:

A situation I encounter every single day, is a disc herniation sufferer that feels they have exhausted their non-surgical options. They have been through multiple rounds of physical therapy and multiple epidural injections with little relief. Now What?

The most disturbing part is when the orthopedist tells them..."it is not bad enough to operate YET, we'll wait until it gets worse before we do the back surgery."

If I was the patient...this would seem a little ludicrous to me. Wait until it gets bad enough to operate...seriously?

I understand back surgery is scary...and in some cases it's absolutely necessary. But with new non-surgical interventions like the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System...back surgery should never be considered before exhausting every conservative option. This now must includes Spinal Decompression.

The DRX9000 is engineered to non-surgically repair lumbar discs. It slowly and precisely separates the lumbar vertebrae, creating a negative pressure inside the herniated disc. This pressure acts as a vacuum...slowly pulling the herniated disc material back inside the disc.

Spinal Decompression is a perfect fit for herniated disc sufferer's. The treatment is extremely comfortable...some patients even nap during their treatment sessions.

So if you have a herniated disc you should consider non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000. It doesn't make sense to wait until your problem is bad enough to operate...fix it non-surgically NOW.

L5 S1 Disc Herniation? Is Surgery Avoidable?

Dr. Robert Boydston...a Chiropractor in Fresno...Explains:

Shooting leg pain, tingling, numbness. back pain...these are all common symptoms of a disc herniation. You may have moved suddenly and felt the shooting pain down your leg...or you may have developed the disc herniation slowly overtime. However it happened for you...you eventually found yourself in an MRI center to see what was causing the radiating leg pain. 

Getting the news that you have a bulging or herniated disc is scary. As soon as your doctor starts using the surgery word...it immediately elicits emotional gut reactions. Everyone knows or has heard of someone who had back surgery and was never the same after. I don't blame a person for fearing surgery...it is serious business.

That is why we use the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Machine. The DRX9000 slowly separates the vertebrae, between the herniated disc. This creates a negative pressure inside the disc, creating a vacuum...that sucks the herniated disc material back into the center of the disc. I have a video at the Boydston Institute website that shows how the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression machine works.

We are Fresno and Clovis' leader in the non-surgical treatment of herniated discs. Surgery should never be considered until non-surgical options are exhausted. The DRX9000 was created specifically to fix lumbar herniated discs. It is a painless procedure that is highly effective for the right patient.

We have perfected our herniated disc protocols over the years. There is a lot of skill involved in properly harnessing and positioning a herniated disc patient. Not all spinal decompression doctors are the same.

If you have a herniated lumbar disc and want to avoid surgery...then you should consult with someone experienced with your problem. A spinal decompression doctor who deals with herniated discs day in and day out.
