TREAT BACK PAIN WITH DECOMPRESSION:

Unique Treatment Combination for Back Pain
One of the newer options for discogenic pain treatment is a combination of non-surgical spinal decompression followed by core muscle stabilization and strengthening.
 

As published in the American Journal of Pain Management, a study that compared decompression to traditional traction for lumbosacral spine showed the decompression methods provides good to excellent relief for 86 percent of patients with ruptured intervertebral discs and 75 percent of patients with facet arthosis, according to equipment manufacturer Axiom Worldwide of Tampa.

Patients using protocols that Dr. Crespo has developed have shown success rates of 90 to 96 percent.

The core-strengthening and stabilization component of the therapy is a key to long-term success, Dr. Crespo says. Patients with injuries need this additional bridge of support as they recover.

"This is where we see the best results for patients. Combining the core strengthening exercises on the MedX equipment with the decompression drastically decreases the chance of reinjury. We've yet to retreat a patient beyond the first series," he says.

Patients completing the spinal decompression therapy experienced improvement, ranging from being completely pain-free to experiencing a substantial relief from pain, numbness or tingling.

Located in Tampa. Florida Crespo & Associates, P.A., is the nation's second medical facility to offer this highly effective, noninvasive combination of treatment, coupling the spinal decompression with core strengthening exercises.
