Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression or Artificial Disc Replacement?

San Francisco Chiropractor and Herniated Disc Doctor Comments:

I just read an article on the excellent www.spine-health.com Back Pain Blog, entitled:

First Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery With ProDisc-C

I must say...this advancement is very interesting, and I would be curious about the long-term studies down the road. But, for the folks that have really bad herniated cervical discs or advanced degenerative cervical disc disease...this surgery has the potential to offer instant relief.

I'm sure I will be asked if spinal decompression with the DRX9000 should be considered first...and my answer would be YES. Geez...Who wouldn't want to try to fix their problem without neck surgery? That's always been my opinion...and I'm sticking to it.

However...if all else fails...including nonsurgical cervical decompression with the DRX9000c...then by all means consider disc replacement. Anyway...check out the article...it's hot off the press.

If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for nonsurgical cervical spinal decompression with the DRX 9000c...please call our San Francisco Decompression Center at 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary consultation.
