Spinal shots, pills, and operations can be a pain in the back.

You no longer have to dread the thought of yard work or swinging the clubs this spring. We have a no-needle, non-surgical option for back and neck pain sufferers who do not want to face expensive invasive treatments.

Brandon Chiropractic Center offers the area’s first non-surgical decompression table. This is a state of the art medical machine designed to treat chronic back and neck pain without drugs, shots, or surgery.

The therapy is called non-surgical spinal decompression. It has received positive reviews from the American Journal of Pain Management and other medical journals which report a very high relief rate when used on patients with herniated discs, one of the leading causes of neck and back problems.

A herniated disc is a spinal bulge that puts pressure on the nerves and causes excruciating pain that can shoot into the arms, hips, and legs. The new non-surgical decompression stops the pain by using negative pressure to create a vacuum that pulls the painful knot back where it belongs.

Dr. Jay Stark, D.C., from Brandon Chiropractic, says that he acquired the new technology to help those patients that suffer from chronic pain who thought their only options were drugs, shots, and surgery. “We are very excited about this technology. We feel that it will change the way medicine treats back pain. It offers a permanent solution to those suffering from herniated discs who do not want surgery,” says Dr. Stark.

Until now, doctors’ bags of back treatments held prescriptions, surgery, epidural injections, and invasive procedures like neuromodulation (which involves electrical stimulation to the spinal cord and brain) or Radio Frequency Ablation (which involves using radio waves to damage nerves so they no longer transmit pain signals).

“The new technology brings relief to both the back and the bank account,” Dr. Stark says. “The cost is less than one-tenth the cost of back surgery, and there is no time off work during or after the therapy.”

“There is a major shift to spinal-fusion procedures that use expensive mechanical devices to help fuse diseased vertebra together, however it’s expensive and has an uncertain outcome,” says Dr. Doug Burton, surgeon and senior spine research professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. These procedures are “expensive and have not resulted in significantly better outcomes,” he says.

Brent Gilchrist, of the Detroit Red Wings, knows all about pain after a lifetime of playing hockey and is legendary for enduring pain. In his final season he injured his back causing him to miss 21 games. Unfortunately this is part of a player’s career. Like many of his friends and teammates he has undergone most of the treatments to control or relieve back pain. “None truly corrected the problem, it always returns.” When faced with the option of spinal surgery or a new non-surgical approach, Brent chooses the latter. “Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression only makes sense when weighing the options. Surgery is not an option for me. I researched this treatment program and found that many people including other professional athletes, even some former Detroit Lions players, have had great success with non-surgical decompression. When living with back pain and choosing between surgery and other options, I can only recommend non-surgical decompression. I have been treated by Brandon Chiropractic Center for years, and this is the place to go if you want success.”

Unlike surgery, there is no recovery period. No changing of professions and no work restrictions. After decompression therapy, patients go can home, go to work, and return to regular activities that are not too strenuous.
