    Herniated Disc Solution!!!

    Its been awhile since ive posted anything but for anyone with a herniated/bulging lumbar disc you might want to check this out. Im 21 years old and have been suffering from 2 disc herniations (l4-l5-s1) for almost 4 years now. Horrible muscle spasms in my calfs, feet, lower back, hamstrings. You name it i've felt it. Anyways ive tried everything. From pain killers to chiros, to accupunture, physcial therapy, epidurals, orthotics...... etc... And nothing seemed to help out with the pain, and if it did, it was only temporary. I had to stop working, stop school, stop lifting, stop juicin... i mean life just got miserable. well to make a long story short i found a machine known as the DRX9000. Its a 20 session procedure and im on my 11th visit... and let me say that im off all meds, and feeling dramtically better already. Its intense... i cant believe somehting like this has been around and no fu@#%^$ doctor could tell me about it. I mean no offense to anybody but from my experience i realized that the medical field is just a bunch of money making dickfu%^$ who dont give a flying H about a cure but rather the money. Anyways heres the site http://www.axiomworldwide.com/DRX9000.htm I hope this little post can make a big difference for anyone out there sufferinng from back pain. Later

    yep it is a modified traction table, they have been around for a long time. alot of chiro offices offer traction, mechanical, table assisted manual ,or again table assisted mechanical traction.

    I shattered my L4/L5 disc in an accident in 99, and had a diskectomy. We tried a traction table before having surgery and it didn't work because of the damage to my disc. If I move a certain way and my lower back cracks, I literally see stars.

    there are many cases like yours were the damage is to severe that conservative care wont do anything for the problem, best thing ican recomend to anyone is, try EVERY possible consevative therapy before you would consider any surgery. back surgery has a very low succes rate of a 100%pain free recovery,. if i remember right, i think the odds are less than 50%, or even worse than that

    Yeah its crazy to hear to many ppl with the same problem. I too had two discs herniated.
    L4-L5 and L5-S1
    Unfortunately for me to L5-S1 was hernaited to the side and was pinching my sciatic nerve, causing me constant nerve pain in my left leg. 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for about 6 months. I was miserable, I tried therapy and all kinds of stuff( I wasnt informaed about these machines.) finally I had the operation, and was still miserable for quite a while. I still have the hernaition at L4-L5 but I have carefully been working with it. Yeah it still causes some pain. I plan on checking out one of these machines.

    I've got several herniated discs both in my neck and low back and I've had one partial disectomy (L5 S1). I've heard a lot of good things about these tables but a lot depends on the amount of damage you have AND the operator of the machine. Before I knew I had damage at L5, S1 I was getting Chiro care and it made things much more painful!!
    I'd try everything available (within reason) before I'd consider surgery!! Doc Sust is correct in all he's said. Cort. shots are mainly just to mask pain though some do get enough reduction in inflamation to help them. Fact is, it will come back. The other shots they offer, the risk is great and I've yet to hear of anyone that felt they helped long term.
