There is a way to treat your back or neck pain without having to undergo surgery. This FDA cleared technology is non-invasive, pain free and drug free . There are no needles or anesthesia. It can be done on an outpatient basis and it has proven to be very successful. Thousands of patients have been treated successfully using this technique . And the cost of the treatment is a fraction of what you would pay if you were to undergo surgery In fact, it is probably significantly less than or equal to the out of pocket expenses if surgery was deemed necessary ”
This scientific discovery is called Non-surgical Spinal Decompression and it is available at Albrecht Chiropractic/West Michigan Spinal Decompression It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases This unique procedure is becoming widely regarded as the most efficient way and cost-effective approach to treating: herniated discs, spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, and sciatica It is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves Wednesday, May 20 “Bootstrap Boys” Country
We see patients who have tried various alternatives to manage their pain such as purchasing a new mattress, exercise therapy or pain medications because they think there is a possibility that their pain will go away over time and their condition will resolve on its own If the pain that you are experiencing is due to muscle strain or stress, then these types of therapies may work for you But if you suffer from chronic and severe back or neck pain due to disc related conditions of the spine, then it is highly likely that your condition will require a more aggressive disc procedure
Typical patients find spinal decompression to be a relaxing, painless procedure that in most cases can be completed in a few weeks on an outpatient basis The procedure is performed with the patient fully clothed and is safe, painless and extremely effective In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure Each session has a cumulative effect designed to significantly reduce pain and improve function as patients progress through the decompression program

How Does Decompression Work?
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves As pressure builds inside the disc it causes bulging of the gelatinous material inside the disc This jellylike tissue can be placed under so much pressure that it can cause the annulus, or outer band of the disc, to rupture When the disc has ruptured or ‘herniated’, it may create pressure against one or more of the spinal nerves which can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the neck or back that can radiate into the legs or arms Non-surgical Decompression creates negative pressure within the disc, causing the herniation to be drawn slowly back into the disc space, thus relieving the pressure, as it rehydrates the disc Midway through the treatment protocol, the formation of Collagen begins to take place in and around the disc. These ‘sticky’ cells have the ability to form other cells including chondroblasts or baby cartilage cells These cells help the disc to heal
I am a senior citizen who likes to stay active, but last summer I fell and ran my head into a steel garage door and received severe neck pain I had an MRI taken and they found several damaged discs in my neck I have also had trouble with lower back pain and numbness in my toes for the past several years and an MRI of that area showed multiple damaged discs in my low back as well I went to several Dr ’s and specialists with each of them taking weeks or months to schedule me and then even longer to get any results and none of them had any answers for my pain They just talked and talked I then went to Laser and Spine Institute in Cleveland and had appointments scheduled to have laser spine surger y for both my neck and low back which was going to cost me well over $25,000 out of pocket That s when my daughter asked me why I didn’t see a chiropractor that went to her church I said I didn’t believe in Chiropractors She said what would it hur t to just go talk to him at least? I agreed to tr y it I decided to make an appointment with Albrecht Chiropractic Office PC and got in within a matter of days After talking to them and having x-rays taken,
