The two words, back surgery, strikes fear in the hearts of many people who are suffering from chronic back pain. They don’t want to consider invasive surgery and they are afraid of addictive pain-killers. Some may have already been through back surgery one time or more, and dread another round because of the slow and painful recovery. Ask your chiropractor about the DRS Protocol™, an innovative back surgery alternative that uses spinal decompression therapy. Thousands of patients have been successfully treated and find that they can cancel their scheduled surgery and live pain-free.
You may be asking, “what is the DRS™,” and what conditions can be helped? DRS™ (Decompression, Reduction and Stabilization) is a state-of-the-art technology protocol used to gradually relieve disc compression and other related disc conditions often associated with neck and low back pain, including herniated and bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, sciatica pain, facet syndrome, numbness and tingling of the legs and even relapsed or failed back surgeries. It is the only treatment that was developed by a team of specialists including Neurosurgeons, Orthopedic Surgeons, Physiatrists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Neurologists and Physical Therapists.

However, if that is not the case with you and your back pain persists or worsens, your chiropractor will give you a thorough examination and then prescribe a combination of the low back pain treatment options described below:

When it comes to low back pain, conventional medical professionals usually focus only on anatomical problems. But for people experiencing chronic low back pain, they may find that the low back pain cure they are seeking could consist of several other types of strategies. Here is a brief description as prescribed by a chiropractor, which could help alleviate your back pain and help it from reoccuring:
1. Release the endorphins -- Endorphins are natural hormones in your body and can be just as strong as any manufactured pain medication. They help block pain signals from registering with your brain. They also help alleviate anxiety, stress, and depression, all associated with chronic back pain. Aerobic exercise, massage therapy and medication are activities that will release these natural pain-killers.

If you have lasting back pain and other related symptoms, you may be unable to think of little else except finding relief. Is spinal decompression therapy (it could be either surgical or non-surgical) right for you? Here are a few facts to consider about spine decompression therapy:
What Is Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that works by gently stretching the spine to change the force and position of the spine. This change takes the pressure off the spinal discs (gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine), by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, taking the pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This, in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
