Do You Prefer Surgery or Non-Invasive Methods for Correcting a Herniated Disc – if You Were Diagnosed With It?

Question by DrJ: Do you prefer surgery or non-invasive methods for correcting a herniated disc – if you were diagnosed with it?
If you had a herniated disc causing back pain and or sciatic pain would you opt for invasive surgery or would you try a safer, non-invasive method such as the DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression system to fix the disc?

Answer by msc
DO not use the DRX I tried it with my 10mm L3-L4 herniated disc and it caused me to have surgery. I was worse off after trying it than before.
I ended up having a microdisecomy and now I better than new.

I think its a good idea to try non surgical spinal decompression. There are no side effects. Treatment is painless, easy and results are quick. No medication, no surgery, no side effects….

I would exhaust all treatment options before going for surgery. Surgery is invasive, and there is rehab involved. Plus you have to get medication for pain control and to control infections etc.

Most people who get on this treatment are suffering from severe chronic lower back pain. Most times, surgery is the last option, and they have been recommended surgery by their orthopedic. They have tried drugs, epidurals, injections, PT, chiro, acupuncture and traction.

Not everyone is a candidate for this though- if you have had fusion surgery in the lumbar spine, surgical repair of an abdominal aorta, a fracture or cancer of the L spine or pelvis or suffer from severe osteoporosis- you may not be a candidate. The Dr has to take a look at your MRI’s as well to assess the disc level.

I have never heard of any side effects of the treatment, so I would go for a consult to see if you are a candidate for this treatment. Hope this helps.

P.s I have seen many people who have been helped with non surgical spinal decompression- please at least see a Dr to see if you qualify for treatment. I have given you some good links to see how this treatment helped others.
