Marin Spinal Disc Specialist Comments

We have been treating herniated disc patients in Marin County for almost ten years now with a variety of specialized chiropractic techniques.  Three years ago we invested in the best non-surgical spinal decompression technology out there, the DRX 9000, and our results are now better than ever. We have been able to substantially increase our abilities to help those with severe back and neck troubles.  

Many patients come to our office after failed corticosteroid injections or surgery. Some are  desperately trying to avoid both of these invasive procedures.   I don't blame them.   Although advances in spinal surgery over the years have made the process less involved, they are still very invasive procedures.  What is amazing is that the majority of patients think that once they have been diagnosed with a herniated disc that they are doomed for life and that surgery is eminent.

The truth is that most patients with bulging and/or herniated discs can heal and rehabilitate without drugs or surgery.  Sometimes traditional chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and deep tissue work are enough to get the results necessary for relief and correction. Sometimes these therapies are not sufficient enough. That is why we invested in the DRX 9000c. It is a sophisticated and extremely expensive machine that helps to increase the re absorption of nutrients back into the disc.  With the proper candidate  it  can increase the height of the disc creating more space where the nerves and spinal cord extend out, alleviating pain, numbness and tingling associated with neurovascular compression syndromes.  These syndromes such as bulging discs, herniated discs, spinal stenosis (soft tissue), facet syndrome, and spinal disc degeneration can definitely be treated without surgery.

Sure there are patients that need surgery and I have definitely referred to a neurosurgeon before.  However, for the most part patients that need surgery represent a very small subset of the population with these conditions. Unfortunately,  most patients are uneducated about the types of non-invasive alternative treatment available. 

That is were I come in.  I believe that doctor means teacher, not big shot. I make it my priority to let patients know they have choices.  We offer a complimentary consultation to determine if patients can benefit from our treatment methods. We perform a thorough examination and let you now exactly how we can help. If we can't help we will definitely let you know that too and help refer you to someone who can.  So if you live in the Bay Area and you or someone you know is suffering with severe neck or back pain and is frustrated with the treatment of toxic medication and or invasive medical procedures, give our office a call to schedule that complimentary consultation. It might just save you from an unnecessary surgery. 

In addition, I have created our free patient guide that goes into more depth about what may be causing your spinal condition and how I might be able to help.  If you would like that guide, make sure to click here and we'll get that emailed to you right away.  After you have had a chance to review the guide and have any questions, please call for a complimentary consultation at (415) 389-1145.  We would love to help in any way.
