The Team Care Method for serious disc injuries uniquely offers non-surgical therapeutic interventions for one purpose: restoring the disc’s natural mechanism for self repair.
In my previous blog, we established that reducing pressure on herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs using decompression therapy is vital if we are to heal the disc. To get true healing and retraction, a negative pressure within the disc should be attained. Only one system I am aware of, Vertebral Axial Decompression (VAX-D), has been proven to decompress lumbar discs.
On any given day, 6.5 million people are bedridden because of back pain. One of the most common is disc problems; injured, bulging, herniated or degenerative discs can create severe low back or leg pain from irritation to roots of the sciatic nerve. Pressure on these injured discs, even from daily activities, can lead to more bulging and irritation.
