In other words, if
the chiropractor or the physical therapist (physiotherapist) lacks clinical
proficiency, experience, skills or therapy devices specific for the spine, the
clinical outcomes will not be desirable! Slipped Disc medically known as
herniated disc, protruded disc, prolapsed disc, extruded disc or fragmented
disc is a health condition that has haunted sufferers for centuries.
Traditionally, most sufferers get prescription medication, injections, and even
surgery. Some seek treatment from chiropractors or Physical Therapists (Physiotherapists).
However, the vast majority of patients find little to no long-term benefits
from the traditional medical methods, chiropractic or physiotherapy (physical
therapy). As a result, most undergo one or more surgical interventions!
The current surgical
and non-operative methods of slipped disc treatment are flawed. These failures
are all too evident in rising numbers of spine surgeries as well as increases
in botched up surgical interventions. So, both surgical and non-surgical
interventions have failed to provide sufferers the long-lasting relief the
sought. The need for corrective care is greater than ever! Today, neck pain and
back pain is the leading cause of disability in persons under the age of 40. IT
is time to change to a more holistic method of care that does, not involve
injections or surgery. Our society needs better treatment options as our
current and established methods of spine care is failing the vast majority of
those we serve.
Failures are often
due to the skills, knowledge, and expertise of caregivers. In other words, if
the chiropractor or the physical therapist (physiotherapist) lacks clinical
proficiency, experience, skills or therapy devices specific for the spine, the
clinical outcomes will not be desirable! Non-surgical successes in treatments
of a slipped disc patient are achievable when the clinician or practitioner has
an in-depth knowledge of slipped disc, specialized skills, and even technology.
In my opinion,
chiropractic and physical therapy have much to offer a slipped disc patient.
There are numerous benefits one can get when visiting a chiropractor or a
physiotherapist (physical therapist). Would it not then be better for these two
great professions to combine their skills, knowledge, and abilities in
treatments on patients with a slipped disc? Yes, it would! So, why is this not
done? Well, the short answer is that most chiropractors and physical therapists
don't get along! But, in reality, there are healthcare forces (namely the
pharmaceuticals and few surgeons) that have either intentionally or
accidentally created a rift between a chiropractor and a physiotherapist.
The good news we
can share with today is that many of the chiropractors and physiotherapists are
now joining their clinical efforts in an attempt of offering better and more
comprehensive non-surgical spine treatments. While there are plenty of the old
fashioned chiropractic centers and physiotherapy centers, the new wave is fast
taking over! While the big pharmaceuticals, surgeons and surgical business may
not be very excited about the collaborative efforts of chiropractors and
physiotherapists, the patients are delighted!
We are prevented
from naming centers that can provide this type of care, you can take to the
internet and search for them. To date, the most effective non-invasive spine
care is the NSD Therapy methods of treatments. Search for centers that offer
collaborative spine treatments, NSD Therapy or for centers that treat a slipped
disc with technologically superior therapeutic devices. The most significant of
these devices is Spinal Decompression Therapy. But, be aware of centers that
offer traction or decompression therapy lookalikes. Spinal decompression is a
relatively new treatment device that many chiropractors and physical therapy
centers use for the treatments of neck and back pain. Published medical
research has shown its effectiveness in reversing even severe slipped disc
condition that would have otherwise had surgical interventions. An exceptional
example of a proper spinal decompression therapy device is that provided by the
RxDecom.
Advanced spinal
decompression technology has made it possible for chiropractors and physical
therapists to treat even a severe slipped disc without surgery. Today, a
slipped disc can be reversed. You no longer need invasive procedures to lead a
healthy active life. Pre and Post Therapy MRI has proven the effectiveness of technology
combined with chiropractic and physical therapy.
We also like to
provide information on the type of physiotherapy or chiropractic you get when
you have a slipped disc. So, to start with, chiropractors are not all alike! In
other words, some are better than others. The same holds true for physical
therapists! So, it becomes important for your to seek out the best chiropractor
or physiotherapist. Getting care from experts is better. I highly encourage
this, even if you have to travel in order to get care from them.
Additionally,
having advanced spine technology is helpful, but keep in mind that it is the
chiropractors and the physiotherapists who treat you. If they don't have the
needed clinical expertise, your recovery might be limited or short lived. So,
do your homework before getting care. After all, it is your health and
wellbeing.
