[tres]

has anybody had any success with this?? I am supposed to get shots in my back friday,,but i am concerned about what the chemical is they shoot in there and how it would mix with test and a-dex...if decompression works why not??

90% of all neck/low back pain is mechanical in nature, a chemical can mask the symptoms but not fix the problem(you actualy do more harm) they usualy inject a catabolic hormone(which we know breaksdown bad and good tissue)

Depending on how many herniations and where they are in the spine, spinal decompression is 85-90% efffective.

What are they injecting and where, Who is doing all this, who is the MD? A Spine Surgeon, or GP?



A decompression is surgery, anesthesia, while on test can skyrocket your B/P to stroke conditions.

A simple herniated disc can be repaired with physical therapy, injections as you mention, and simply light exercise and time… Give it time and it will heal.


But not always, of course, then the first step would be a decompression..


I am assuming the only symptom you have is a herniated disc. No impingement, stenous, Disc Herniation as in Herniated Nucleus Pulposus, Degenerative Disc Disease,
Spondylolisthesis, Scoliosis, Kyphosis or simple instability.


You have had and MRI, and X-rays correct?

If is is a herniated disc, not a Herniated Nucleus Pulposus

You should be fine, with out surgery,

Remember surgeons get paid to cut,


So a second opinion is recommended, but also don’t live with this pain too easily corrected.

there are 2 types of decompression...surgical and non surgical.

non surgical decompression is very effective, do a search, there is definatley someone doing it in your area, in the next 2 years non surgical spinal decompression will be the norm for low back/neck pain. it is one of the fastest growing procedures today.

There are two types of Disc Herniations

Simple

And


When you rupture the Nucleus

When your rupture the nucleus, this will not heal on its own, need surgical intervention.

actualy when the nucleus ruptures the annular fibers it can be migrated back through a vacuum effect which non-surgical spinal decompression does. after a number of treatments the annular rings start to reform and heal around the nucleus.
