"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.

Is Cold Laser Therapy for You?

Orange County Cold Laser therapy is making waves in the chiropractic scene in recent years because of its immense advantages, as compared to the risks.  If you were advised by a medical professional like a Newport Beach chiropractor, to consider Cold Laser for your treatment, you should know whether the positives effects will outweighs the risks--no matter how small.  

PROS

Cold Laser therapy accurately targets the tissues of your body that needs relief.  The treatment involves using low-temperature laser which gives heat to stimulate healing but not to the point of pain.   It is non-surgical, therefore patients who have undergone the treatment do not need to have a prolonged recovery period.  Neither do they need any medications.  Studies so far have shown that there is no serious side effects to properly-applied cold laser therapy.   

CONS 

Of course, there are two sides to a coin.  Cold laser therapy will take several treatments, from 8 to 30 sessions.  You also have to check with your medical insurance if they will cover this treatment because Medicare and Medicaid do not.  The treatment should not be given to pregnant women.  Nor should the laser be used directly on the eyes, thyroid, cancerous-looking lesions or carcinoma.  

Knowing what treatment is right for you is of primary importance to us.  Contact us for a consultation and we can help you decide.
