"The Doctors" Discuss Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy: Your Non-Invasive Treatment for Back Pain

“The Doctors" is one of the most popular television shows these days. Recently, The Doctors featured a riveting segment about back pains and the non-invasive procedures that can relieve them. Back pain is very common and greatly effects the way we go about our daily life.
There are different causes of back pain. For younger adults, a herniated disc is a common source of pain and for older people the condition may be a facet joint osteoarthritis. Whatever the cause is or the condition that is causing the pain, most people avoid invasive surgical procedures unless advised by the doctor. It’s a good thing that there are non-invasive procedures that help relieve back pain. Two of these procedures, cold laser therapy and non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, were demonstrated in “The Doctors.”


Cold laser therapy is very popular because it is non-invasive and has virtually no side effects. It is one of the latest technologies available and can address a number of different conditions. Another non-invasive procedure shown in one of the episodes in “The Doctor” is the non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that utilizes a decompression table.

For those who suffer back pain, non-invasive procedures like cold laser therapy and non-surgical spinal decompression therapy may be the better choices. There are Newport Beach chiropractors who offer these alternative treatments to back pain. As illustrated in “The Doctors,” these therapies are painless and effective.

Dr. Oz Demonstrates How Chiropractic Can Be an Alternative Remedy for Pain

If you don’t believe in taking pain killers, an alternative way of warding away those debilitating aches and pains has just been illustrated by one of the most trusted names in health - Dr. Oz.

 
In his show, Dr. Oz illustrated how misalignment of the spine results to pain. He said that like 80% of the population, most of us suffer back problems. Most of us also turn to painkillers to ease our discomfort. According to Dr. Oz, medication only serves to mask the pain but does not treat the underlying cause of pain. If the source of your back pain is a misaligned spine, postural alignment may be the necessary to solve your back pains.


According to the article, How to Align Your Spine, postural alignment can be attained in different ways. It can be through yoga, massage therapy, or chiropractic. It was chiropractic that Dr. Oz demonstrated in his show. He illustrated an exercise meant to help in re-aligning the spine and the person who did the exercise said she immediately felt better.

From that segment in “The Dr. Oz Show,” those who are quite in the dark about chiropractic and its benefits are informed how an alternative remedy to back problems can be very beneficial. With no less than Dr. Oz explaining about chiropractic, this drug-free remedy to back problems can be more appreciated.

There are also other forms of postural alignment as mentioned above. It is best to try them with the help of a skilled professional. The Gateway Rehab and Wellness Center offers chiropractic services in Orange County. If you have not tried an alternative to painkillers in solving your back problems, it’s time to try it now.

How Chiropractic Therapy Helps Dr. Phil - "Help the body to release its own innate power to heal itself."

Doctors are the ones who take care of patients, but who takes care of them? In one recent episode of the Dr. Phil Show, Dr. Phil shared that it’s one of the questions people ask him all the time.

Dr. Phil is famous for his success in helping people live better lives and those he helps have usually hit rock-bottom. You can imagine the energy it requires for him to do all that he does. It must surely have a physical effect on him, but Dr. Phil said that he has been going to his chiropractor regularly for many years.

Dr. Phil introduces Dr. Patrick DeFazio, who he sees now for chiropractic  care. 

Dr. DeFazio says, “From a chiropractic perspective, we look at the body as a whole, and we work to allow the body to restore itself to normal function. So, what we do is help the body to release its own innate power to heal itself.” 


The chiropractic doctors in that particular show said that they see the people as “well” rather than sick and they work on patients to restore them to that state of wellness. They also believe that the body has a natural ability to heal.

Chiropractic care is based on holism, which means that health is affected by everything in a person’s environment. That makes sense and can be illustrated by how people get headaches after a bad day at work. For those who don’t believe in always depending on pain relievers, chiropractic therapy may be the answer in combating myriad pains and fatigue. The Gateway Rehab and Wellness Center offers chiropractic services in Mission Viejo for those would like to choose an alternative to drugs and pain relievers.

This is the place for those who want to enhance their quality of life and for those who want to prevent the risk illness rather than to treat it. From its massages to Pilates, chiropractic to acupuncture, you have a great number of services to choose from that will help you achieve a more enhanced lifestyle.

This particular episode of the Dr. Phil Show is helpful in shedding light to the benefits of chiropractic medicine and the importance of a holistic approach to good health. If it helps the man who helps people, it must be effective. For more details about our chiropractic services and practices, contact us.
