The study demonstrated that nonsurgical spinal decompression improved patient-reported pain intensity, function, and quality of life, offering a viable, non-invasive alternative to treating lower back pain or sciatica due to a herniated disc.
WALNUT CREEK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / A respected medical journal has published a paper by Dr. JD Dudum of Dudum Chiropractic, a top-rated practice in Walnut Creek, California, about the success of a non-surgical spinal decompression technique he developed for patients with lower back pain and sciatica.
The paper, published in The Journal of Contemporary Chiropractic, highlights the effectiveness of Dr. Dudum's nonsurgical spinal decompression (NSD) therapy in reducing the size of lumbar disc herniations and eliminating pain in patients suffering from lower back pain.
"I am proud to have my patients' success documented in a respected research journal," Dr. Dudum said. "This study demonstrates that nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy, when combined with chiropractic care, can be a safe and effective solution for those suffering from herniated discs and chronic lower back pain. Our findings offer hope for patients seeking to get off prescription medications and avoid invasive treatments that provide lasting relief."
Lower back pain remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, posing substantial economic and societal challenges. Despite numerous treatment options-ranging from physical therapy to medications-no single method has been universally recognized as both safe and highly effective. Dr. Dudum's study aimed to evaluate the impact of NSD therapy, combined with chiropractic care on patients with LBP due to herniated discs.
The research involved four patients experiencing lower back pain and associated nerve-related symptoms. Over an eight-week period, these patients underwent NSD therapy alongside chiropractic care. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used to measure the size of their lumbar disc herniations before and after the treatment regimen.
Remarkable Outcomes
Reduction in Disc Herniation Size: Post-treatment MRI scans revealed a significant decrease in the size of herniated discs for all four patients.
Complete Pain Relief: Each patient reported being 100% pain-free following the treatment protocol.
Improved Function and Quality of Life: Patients experienced enhanced mobility and a better overall quality of life.
The positive outcomes suggest that NSD therapy could serve as a valuable non-surgical option for managing lower back pain caused by disc herniations. The study recommends further research to compare the effectiveness of NSD with other conservative treatment modalities, potentially reshaping the standard approach to back pain management.
For individuals struggling with lower back pain or herniated discs, Dr. Dudum's spinal decompression therapy offers a promising path to relief. To learn more about the treatment or to schedule an appointment, please visit www.drjddudum.com or call (925) 300-3302.
