Back pain. It has kept you from work, from playing with your kids or grandkids, and it has kept you from living the life you used to love. Maybe it was from a lifting a heavy load or working in the garden all day. It might just be age catching up, but one thing is certain. Pain in the cervical or lumbar spine tears you away from the things you value. For treatment that doesn't involve surgical intervention or long-term pain management with pills in Hudson County, NJ, Dr. David Podell of the Waterfront Institute can help with spinal decompression therapy.
Traditional medical wisdom would normally have confined a person with chronic back pain to three typical treatment options: surgery, pain medication or wait-and-see bed rest. Surgery has lower than acceptable success rates, painkillers only mask the pain without treating it, and bed rest gives little assurance to the back pain sufferer who is laid up. Failure in all three courses of action would mean the end of the line and forced acceptance of the pain as a daily companion to life. However, modern technology has yielded significant advancements in alternatives to traditional regimens and approaches like spinal decompression.
Spinal decompression therapy like the DRX 9000 makes use of distraction forces to counteract the damage done by time or injury to the spinal discs that often are the root of back (lumbar), neck (cervical) and leg pain. Through this distraction force, decompression can be accomplished by accumulating a pocket of negative pressure inside the disc. As it is commonly leaked spinal disc fluid pressing against nerves that leads to pain, negative pressure will, over the course of treatment, often suck that fluid back into the disc. The restored fluid will help the disc heal itself and rehydrate, also restoring its cushioning function.
Dr. David Podell uses the DRX9000 to treat conditions like the following at Waterfront :
- Cervical Pain
- Lumbar region pain
- Sciatica
- Spinal Stenosis
- Leg Pain
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Herniated or Bulging Disc
- Facet Syndrome
The only thing standing in your way is the call you haven't made. Let Dr. Podell take care of you and alleviate your cervical or lumbar pain in Hudson County, New Jersey at the Waterfront Institute.
