| Don't know if it works for all, but I see it work for many. I have used aquatic therapy and modalities for pain, Kinesiotaping techniques for the spasms, chiropractic for alignment, therapy for the strengthening and the DRX 9000 spinal decompression for 20 treatments. I have been pain free for the first time in 4 years. I am able to work and play in athletics again without pain. When I feel a twinge of pain returning, I go to the tape and to the chiropractor for an adjustment. I have not yet needed to go to the DRX for any subsequent treatments, yet.
If any of this does not help you (and you should do all of this) then your condition may still require the knife. But I usually see that a person is rarley healed by the knife when it comes to spinal surgeries.
If a person can utilize non-surgical interventions for a few more years, there will be better alternate surgeries to what is now available. Some are being tested on human subjects now, but I would rather wait and not be a guinea pig.
