Low Back Pain and the cost of surgery. Don't Want Surgery?DRX9000 Can Help.
BY ADMIN / TUESDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2015 /
Each year, 600-thousand Americans
undergo spinal surgery — part of the 30-billion dollars we spend on back pain
care. But before you go under the knife, there are some important questions you
should ask.
Rick Greenwood thought surgery
would relieve his back pain. Instead it left him paralyzed. He developed a
blood clot after having a battery-powered stimulator implanted next to his
spinal cord.
“My whole focus was getting off
pain meds, ’cause it was ruining my life. But did we check it maybe as thorough
as we needed to on the side effects? No,” he said.
Rick and his wife Debbie urge
others to ask tough questions before surgery.
“Questions would be more about
specifically how many surgeries have you done like this? What are the
guidelines out there for physicians? What happens if something goes wrong?” she
said.
One in every 100 spinal stimulator
patients will experience some spinal nerve damage.
“I think people need to be mindful
of physicians and surgeons who are well-trained, and to investigate their
training,” said Dr. Stephen Tolhurst.
Other questions to ask: Is my
surgeon board-certified and fellowship-trained? How long has my surgeon been
performing this procedure? What is the success rate? Will anyone assist my
surgeon and if so, how are they trained? What are the risks? Are there other
non-surgical options?
“I’m hoping that this will help
people feel more comfortable in researching and asking the questions. You just
gotta hang in there,” said Rick.
He hopes asking the right
questions will prevent others from suffering like he did.
Integrity Life Sciences delivers a multitude of
orthotic treatment options to address one of the most costly systemic ailments
in the world, chronic low back and neck pain. Our advanced solution begins with
the Integrity Spinal Care System (ISCS) ™ and its
proprietary iELCiPS Technology™. The ISCS non-surgical
spinal decompression modality systems are engineered to provide pain relief for
compressive and degenerative conditions of the spine. Specifically, conditions that
may be treated include: neck pain and back pain associated with herniated
discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome,
and sciatica. It achieves these effects through decompression of intervertebral
discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.
As a compliment to the ISCS, Integrity offers the
very effective Integrity Gel Support Brace™. Our advanced
lumbar support brace is a fitting compliment to non-surgical spinal
decompression therapy and was designed as an adjunct therapy for those
suffering from back pain due to disc related conditions. The Integrity Gel
Support Brace may be used with or without Integrity’s non-surgical spinal
decompression systems and is an excellent treatment option for the patient to
use at home.
