| Spinal Stenosis/Disc Herniation Research |
Over the last two years the Morris Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center has engaged in a clinical study to evaluate their unique treatment for these conditions.
Approximately seventy patients with severe spinal stenosis and/or disc herniations were included. They all had failed traditional care including at least one or two of the following:
- Medication including anti-inflammatories, narcotics and muscle relaxants.
- Physical Therapy
- Chiropractic
- Acupuncture
- Epidural Injections
- Surgery (usually discectomies and laminectomies. Those with fusions or hardware were excluded).
Treatment included a precise combination of:
- Spinal Decompression
- Physical Therapy
- Electrical Feedback Training of Abdominal and Back Muscles
- Chiropractic Mobilization
- Exercise Rehabilitation
- Yoga Therapy
- Inversion(in some patients)
- Abdominal and Spinal Training and Electronic Feedback
- Muscle Therapy to lengthen shortened and aged tissue.
This program requires a 3-5 month period of time. The results were excellent and unmatched by any other study or approach we've seen.
- 84% of the most severe low back pain patients who did not respond to other forms of therapy (including injections, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and surgery) significantly improved with this treatment.
- Their average pain scale dropped from a 7.7 (out of 10 which is the worse pain possible) to 2.2 within three to five months.
- Signs of nerve damage reversed itself…70% of the time the patient’s reflexes returned to normal and 40% of the legs and feet that had loss sensation, regained their feeling.
- Nearly 90% of the patients were able to sit, stand and/or walk longer with little or no pain medication
We’ve worked hard to become the leading office in the country for Severe Low Back Disc Disorders and Spinal Stenosis.
If you know of someone with lower back Spinal Stenosis or Disc Disease (Herniation, bulges, degeneration…) and wouldn't mind being included in this study, we encourage you to refer them to our office (call 310-451-5851). We are continuing the study for several years.
If you'd like a scientific abstract of this study, call our office or email us.
