Although The National Institutes of Health reports that 70% to 85% of all people have back pain at some time in their lives, back surgery is still considered a "last resort" option. That's because back surgery, like any other type of surgery, comes with inherent risks that often outweigh any potential benefits. Coupled with the fact that there are no guarantees that back surgery can provide you with long-term success, and may even result in debilitating complications, it is a patient's best interest to thoroughly investigate all of his or her non-surgical options.
For patients seeking an alternative to back surgery, spinal decompression therapy offers a non-invasive, pain-free, cost-effective approach to care. In addition, because this mid- and lower back surgery alternative only requires several 30-minute sessions to achieve maximum results, it's also a treatment option that suits virtually any schedule.
Of course, results are likely the most important factor when considering mid- and lower back surgery alternatives, so it's important to note that spinal decompression studies indicate between a 71% and 90% success rate,1, 2 with some patients reporting complete pain relief after just one treatment3.
The Back Care Network's spinal decompression methods have been well received by patients suffering from a variety of conditions. However, before you are placed on specialized treatment program, we can schedule you for a 30-minute appointment to try lumbar decompression therapy and evaluate your individual response to ensure you receive the care you need.
