What The Medical World And Physicians Are Saying About Non-Surgical Decompression
Intermittently my “delighted with their results” newer patients will ask me why their doctor never heard of
my clinic or the non surgical spinal decompression procedure. (if your are a physician reading this, I have just put the finishing touches on my physician education kit for NSSD) But, the truth is, not a week goes by where several disc pain sufferers are referred by other physicians to find out if they’re a candidate for our decompression program.
But here’s a few comments from a variety of practitioners:
“Excuciating pain radiated from my left leg to my toes. MRI scans showed deterioration at the L4 and L5 areas. My doctor recommended a 15-day VaxD regimen (*VaxD in one of the primary tools we use at Waterfront Spine Institure). I was doubtful about the sciatic pain in my leg, but I continued on with treatment and after the 15th session I only had a slight twinge occasionally. Since that day on, I am completely free of the pain in my back and my left leg. I jog the same as I used to, I cut the lawn, I’m back without any pain at all, and I”ve got to say Vax D (decompression) was the thing that did it for me.”
Roert Channey, M.D.
Former Assistant Surgeon General Of The United States
“VaxD Therapy should be the initial treatment for chronic back pain patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative discs and facet syndrome. I view back surgery as a last resort, and VaxD gives my patients a more conservative treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery altogether. VaxD is also a treatment option for those patiens who have had surgery and have a relapse or experience a retrun of pain following surgery. With VaxD, I have a key non-surgical treatment for back (and neck) pain”
Dr. Vik Singh, M.D., Q.M.E.
West Hills, California
“I’ve never found anything towork so well for back pain pagtients in my 39 years in medicine. VaxD changes people’s lives and frees them from the misery of chronic low back conditions. It repairs damaged discs that cause excruciating back pain and sciatica. It is able to fix the post-surgical train wrecks that no one else could repair. VaxD should be used before surgery. VaxD has lowered patients’ needs for pain medicines-and that is a good thing.
E. Michael Gutmann, M.D.
Orlando, Florida
“As a surgeon I only want to do surgery when I absolutely to. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy give my patients a more conservative treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery altogether…”
Dr. Bernard Zeliger
Founding Dean of College Of Osteopathic Medicne-Vallejo, California

Are All Decompression Clinics Created Equal Or What To Look For When Choosing A Decompression Center? Part II
A discussion about decompression technology would be appropriate here. Which is best and why is a question I often here. So, let me say this right off the bat. Some clinics are advertising decompression but use machines that are more like old fashioned traction machines. Would you like your surgeon to be using 75 year old equipment and technology or the newest and latest. As noted by Dr. Alan Dyer MD of VaxD Technologies and former assistant health administrator of Ontario, Canada”:
“ Traction has not been shown to lower intradiscal pressures (a key to effective disc decompression) and has had dismal track record with chronic low back pain. Traction can be expected to increase intradiscal pressures and , therefore, aggravate a protruded, herniated or extruded disc. It is therefore, conta-indicated for patients with herniated discs.”
Therefore, the clinic you choose should have decompression technology…not old fashioned traction. True decompression equipment is armed with state-of-of-the-art biofeedback that monitors decompression pressures multiple times per second (and make sure the patient is totally relaxed and pain-free), the most advanced software to apply decompression forces and rest cycles, ability to decompress in the face down or face up position or three dimensions, friction free application technology to “de-weight” the area being decompressed as well as other vital factors. If it can’t do all this, it’s probably traction…not good or effective for herniated disc type problems. Ask what the clinic has available when you go for your initial consultation.
One more important point.
We have 4 different types of decompression technology available in our clinic. One size does not fit all. Most “decompression” clinics have just one (hopefully it’s not just traction) limiting the scope of patient type, size and difficulty that they can handle. In our office we use the newest in VaxD, DRX, Spinetronics 3-D antaligictrak and ABS decompression equipment.
Think about this. Would you want to buy a car from a dealer who had only one color, one model and no options. I think not. Therefore, top level facility must offer and have available more than just one single approach or technology for the best outcomes for the most difficult cases.
Post decompression three dimension rehab is also vital but we’ll get to that in another posting.

Are All Decompression Clinics Created Equal Or What To Look For When Choosing A Decompression Center? Part I
For quite awhile now, I’ve been conducting several consultations each week with severe pain sufferers who have already “treated” with… and failed… other centers offering some sort of
decompression program. When I ask why they would visit with me after failing “decompression” procedures they would all respond in a similar fashion something like this …. “I sensed decompression should work for me but wasn’t. My friend/doctor/one of our other patients told me about your clinic and it sounded almost totally different from the care I was receiving at the other place”.
So here’s a quick list of what to look for before agreeing to a starting a decompression program:
- Decompression therapy should last between 25-40 minutes per session.. Non- Surgical Decompression CANNOT work with less than adequate number of cycles per session. (not 10 or 15 minutes like many clinics are doing)
- Rest time during the decompression treatment is as important as the actual decompression time.
- The amount of force should start at no more than 40 pounds for most woman and 50 pounds for most men. As treatment progresses, I rarely go over 75-80 pounds regardless of the patient’s size including the huge professional and high level athletes and bodybuilders that have treated with me. You should barely sense anything is happening when on the treatment. If you’re muscles are sensing the decompression and contracting it will definitely nullify any positive affects of the decompression and may even injure the discs further.(not half the body weight or other such nonsense)
- Decompression bracing must be applied appropriately as what goes on in between sessions can seriously affect your outcome to treatment. (varies patient to patient)
- Ask the clinic director or doctor: Will a doc who is a decompression expert be monitoring my care visit to visit? It cannot be a physical therapist, tech or any one who is not highly trained in the details of proper decompression application. It is not simply getting strapped on a table by a tech and lying there for a few minutes. Decompression is delicate balance of high level technology and artful application of that technology.
More on which decompression technology is best and other questions answered on my next communiqué……

Home Remedies for What To Do When You’re Herniated Disc, Neck Or Back Pain Flairs Up At Home And You Need Relief
Chronic sufferers of spinal pain may have periods of feeling better ….. and feeling a lot worse. There’s a few things you can do (and things you should NOT do) at home for those bad days:
- Get immediate application of ice packs to the area in pain. You can also ice the area where the pain is radiating such as if your neck pain is going into the shoulder or upper back, the ice both the neck and upper back area.
- Gel packs are better than ice cubes in a plastic bag as the gel pack will contour to the natural curves of the body and are more comfortable to use.
- Keep the ice on 15 to 20 minutes per application and no more. It will have the reverse
- affect if left on too long.
- Repeat these applications hourly. You can do this on and off procedure all day without harm. Repetition is key to reducing inflammation.
- Keep a thin towel over the ice. Don’t take it so cold so as to burn the skin.
DO NOT APPLY HEAT IN ANY FORM
- Get off your feet. The least “compressive” or stressful position to the disc and joints of the the spine is recumbent. There is no ONE correct way to be positioned. The one that is most comfortable for you is telling your body it is correct.
Most low back sufferers seem to feel better face up with a few firm pillows under the knees whereby the thighs are 45 to 90 degrees to the surface upon which you are lying
- Do NOT try to exercise the pain away. Exercise is compressive and damaging to the disc. While quite important in a comprehensive spine rehab program, exercise should not be done in the inflammatory stage and certainly not for acute flare ups.
- Medication: OTC ant- inflammatories such as Alleve may “take the edge” off. However, any drug may be harmful to the liver or kidney if overused. Keep it to a minimum where possible.
Special Note: Drugs may artificially “fool” the body that your are healed. Many will overdue it with activity and ignore the underlying damage as these drugs mask the pain and further damage the discs and underlying joints (much more on this in another posting)
This should be helpful for short term relief during those rough times. If you’re pain continues, seek professional consultation from a non surgical decompression specialist.
Til next time.

Can A Herniated Disc Cause Sciatica Or Severe Leg Pain??? PART II
Can non – surgical decompression help with conditions like Sciatica.? The answer is this: If evaluation reveals you have a compression injury such as bulge, herniation or protrusion on an MRI and your doctor determines this to be the cause of your sciatic pain……. Then there is a very good chance that Non Surgical Spinal Decompression could be the answer to your problem.
As noted in PART I, when the disc gets squished, the internal disc material probes outward thus compressing or irritating the adjacent local nerves which go down your legs.
Non Surgical Decompression (NSSD), in the vast majority of cases, can reverse the high intra-disc pressure drawing the bulging disc centrally while drawing in vital nutrients and fluids which will help heal the disc in the longer run. When successful, the pressure and inflammatory chemical reaction is eased…. and your sciatic pain goes away. Without medications, invasive epidural injections, routing physical therapy or surgical interventions.
Basically, decompression technology “fools mother nature” sneaking under the muscle reactions and spasms and opens up the disc space, creates the negative pressure and heals the disc. The healing is usually long term and most patients do not require endless treatments or even maintenance once they have gone through the program. Some people fell better almost immediately in a couple of sessions while for others the procedure takes a longer usually due to the severity of the underlying damage.
This affect of’ “negative pressure” has been proven repetitively in setting whereby a herniated disc patient has electronic pressure sensors inserted inside the disc. The internal disc pressure drops dramatically once the proper thresh\hold is reached creating a vacuum like phenomena which will begin to draw in fluids to the interior of the ‘squshed” disc.
In time, most of the worst sciatica cases feel much, much better and are healed in the long term with proper application of Non Surgical Decompression procedures. The procedure is relaxing, easy for the patient and painless.

Can A Herniated Disc Cause Sciatica Or Severe Leg Pain??? PART I
Have you or someone you know ever had the experience of going to your doc because you had some god-awful pain from your low back or hip down into your leg or foot? If so, you know it can range anywhere from modestly unpleasant to down right agonizing. And if you’ve had this rather negative experience you want pain relief fast…..and that’s why you went to see your doctor in the first place.
Usually, he or she tells you it’s Sciatica. Well, the truth is… you just been told what you already knew because sciatica literally means “leg pain”. Sort of like going to the doc because you’ve lost your vision and you’re told you’re blind.
Your concern, however, is not to get a description of what you already knew but to find out what’s causing it…. and how to fix it.
In most cases, not all but most, leg pain radiating from the hip or back is related to pressure on the nerves in your lower back. And often that pressure comes from the jelly donut like disc that ‘s being “squished” between to vertebrae. This squeezing pressure causes the discs internal contents to bulge or spill out creating an outward bulging of the disc which can directly place pressure on the nerves which run down into your legs. Additionally, inflammatory chemicals may be released which further irritate the nerve and your pain.
Unfortunately, with time, things like Sciatica tend to progress. The outer wall of the disc begins to get tiny cracks and crevices… like a broken windshield. The disc can decay further and lose more and more fluid thus becoming dehydrated.
Standard care may utilize prescription of anti-inflammatory medication, over the counter analgesics or pain killers. The doc will often refer you for a course of routine physical therapy or chiropractic care. Later, an lumbar MRI may be taken which can reveal the damaged discs.
Continued pain leads you to a pain management office for invasive injections or even the neuro-surgeon’s office for consultation.
While all these things may create some short term relief…they all fall short in the long run offering no true repair or reversal of the process. Surgical intervention is laden with possible side affects as well as anesthesia and infection risk not to mention surgical failure or even error.
What has emerged over the last decade or so are advanced non surgical methods used to relieve disc pressure and actually get the disc to heal long term. This known as non surgical decompression and we will continue this discussion in my next blog posting.

A Few More Things You Should Know About Spine Pain, Herniated Discs And How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Can Help
My first blog gave you just a really brief intro to Spinal Decompression as an alterative to drugs, surgery and invasive injections. Most patients with advance conditions like disc 
herniation or degenerative problems are confused. In my opinion, there’s a lot of misinformation floating around and poor application of NSSD. People want to know the following:
- Can NSSD really help me or is it just hype?
- What causes herniated disc?
- Why the other therapies, including surgery, may not work for you?
- Am I a good candidate?
- Is it uncomfortable to have the procedure?
- Is it safe and is it effective?
- Will it help in the long run or will I just get short term relief?
- Can I exercise during my treatment?
- Should I do other therapies at the same time like acupuncture, chiropractic care, etc..
- Can I still work or do my household chores?
- Which decompression technology is the best?
- How long do treatments take and how many do I need?
- Does insurance over the NSSD treatment program?
- How do I find a good decompression clinic and doctor?
And many, many more……
Well, I can’t answer all those in one posting, so I’ll go slowly and I’ll pick the first question on the list for today.
Can decompression therapy NSSD really help you or is it just hype?
In a word, YES IT CAN HELP. AND, NO… IT IS NOT JUST HYPE. But… keep in mind that every case is different and not every case of serious spine pain is an appropriate candidate for the procedure. And it doesn’t’ “work” for everybody. Surely no therapeutic procedure has a 100% success rate…but…for properly chose candidates… the success rate is quite high.
Non surgical decompression is very powerful tool in the hands of the skilled health care provider. There is a plethora of research and, in my office, everything we do is scientific and “evidence based”. There is no hype, no delusions and no smoke and mirrors. However, you’re all different and every case varies in their needs such as which decompression technique is best suited to you, how many sessions you may need, etc,….
For properly evaluated and chosen candidates (1 of 3 who come to see us are absolutely and unforturanately NOT candidates), NSSD can have truly remarkable success and can be an excellent alternative to more aggressive procedures.

Introduction To Non-Surgical Decompression: Part I
Back (and neck) pain have reached epidemic-like proportions throughout the industrialized world with estimates of up to 70 million or so Americans suffering with this disorder. That 
would be mathematically around 35% or so of the entire adult population…. a staggering statistic.
Cost for care has run into the billions with the cost of fusion surgeries often pointed at in regard to the rapid inflation in health care costs. This doesn’t include the cost to industry and individual’s due to lost time at work due to severe spinal pain. The New England Journal Of Medicine notes that at least 50% of all spinal surgery is unnecessary. Generally speaking, there is a rather low “success rate” in regard to surgery at high cost… and more importantly to the patient, a higher medical risk.
Most other typical therapies such as invasive injections, pain medication, physical therapy, routine osteopathic and chiropractic care have proven to be less than adequate sans short term pain relief. This “Back Pain Dilemma” has proven be a treatment and diagnostic nightmare for most care providers…. and a confusing and frustrating issue for patients who don’t seem to know where to turn or whom to trust.
For many years, I myself, who had been ‘in the trenches” dealing with these problems for the medical side of things, continued to struggle with the herniated disc and chronic back and neck pain sufferer often seeing patient’s end up in unsuccessful surgery or chained to a lifetime of pain pills,etc….
However, while scanning through some medical journals a number of years ago, I read an article by Dr. Alan Dyer, a medical physician and former health minister from Ontario, Canada, who had developed and pioneered a new approached to herniated disc treatment for severe and chronic spinal pain sufferers that was having excellent success… and get this, without surgery, drugs, needles and virtually painless. It was called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and performed on technology called the Vax D…short for Vertebral Axial Decompression.
In a nutshell, Spinal Decompression can and does, create a negative pressure, or vacuum like state inside disc. This centralizes or draws the herniation back towards normal at the same time drawing nutrients and oxygen into the disc to allow it to heal properly.
I began to research the technology and treatment protocols learning and training endlessly. Armed with this knowledge, I set out to develop a clinic that could provide this now known as the Watefront Spine Institute. It houses only state of the art technology including VaxD Genesis 2, DRX and the like.
While nothing is100% and we cannot accept every case that comes to see us, I have found the properly applied spinal decompression therapy to have a remarkably high success rate for things like disc herniation or bulge, degenerated discs, sciatica and even certain forms of stenosis.
If you’re suffering, have not been responsive to routine therapies or don’t want surgery or invasive injections and would like to get off the drugs, non surgical decompression may be appropriate for you. I might suggest you investigate this “new” approach (it’s not really new but many are jus t becoming aware of it) before letting you’re problem get out control or possibly ending up in surgery.
