We SPECIALIZE in the treatment of:
Herniated Discs Degenerated Discs Pinched nerves and Sciatica Arthritis and Stenosis Joint/Facet pain Chronic Back and Neck pain
Simply put our treatment approach is more effective for most patients with back and neck pain.
We treat difficult back and neck pain using SPINEMED non-surgical spinal decompression (www.certhealthsciences.com). We have the only SPINEMED non-surgical decompression table in the state of Georgia.
This is the way that most back and neck problems should be treated- not medications, injections and surgery. Of course, those are sometimes appropriate but they don't treat the common cause of spinal pain, which is COMPRESSION upon discs, nerves and joints.
At Backstrong we safely, non-surgically and gently REVERSE THE COMPRESSION in your spine. The vast majority of patients experience significant relief or resolution of their pain from this treatment. It usually helps when other treatments have failed because it FINALLY TREATS THE CAUSE OF SUCH PAIN- COMPRESSION.
Most patients we treat are skeptical that our treatment can work so effectively if all doctors haven't yet embraced it and it's not commonplace. But most spinal problems are actually very simple, even if difficult. The reason they are difficult is because most doctors don't provide appropriate treatment of the CAUSE of most spinal pain. At Backstrong we simply understand the simple cause. It's not rocket science- it is a simple realization. The cause is compression and we reverse compression. See our patient testimonials and you'll know we just might be right. We can help the vast majority of patients with back and neck pain.
HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?
Our spinal discs are the FOCAL point in our spines. As they degenerate so does the rest of the spine. As the discs age, they tear, bulge, herniate, dehydrate and flatten. Disc bulges and herniations commonly compress the nerves or spinal cord causing pain and disability. Compressed nerves radiate pain to the buttocks and legs or shoulders and arms. Discs also flatten as they degenerate. As the discs degenerate, the bones enlarge, i.e. become arthritic. As the bones enlarge/become arthritic, less space is available for the nerves and spinal cord. It is a progressive, degenerative, COMPRESSIVE problem. This should be ameliorated with physical, decompression of the spine. That is what we do at Backstrong.
