A Recent study from the American Chiropractic Association

Chiropractic therapy for low back pain.


A review of 270 studies found that spinal manipulation works just as well as pain medication for reducing the intensity of low back pain. Practitioners apply a controlled force to a joint of the spine, pushing it beyond its normal range of motion to improve physical functioning.
Besides chiropractors, physical therapists, osteopaths and some conventional medical doctors practice spinal manipulation as well.
Chiropractor have always know that Chiropractic works, but its nice to see more and more studies validating Chiropractic.

Chiropractic care in the Olympics

Chiropractic Care Included in 2010 Olympic Vancouver Winter Games at On-Site

For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, include chiropractic care inside the Olympic Village Polyclinic, a multi-disciplinary facility offering comprehensive healthcare and medical services.

While DCs (Doctors of Chiropractic) have historically been included on the Olympic medical staff, this year’s events mark the first time that DCs from the host country will be treating athletes and officials from around the world directly inside the Polyclinic.

“This is an historic event not only for the chiropractic profession, but also the athletes who will now have access to the care that will help them prepare their bodies for competition,” states Michael Reed, DC, MS, DACBSP, and team USA’s medical director (USOC). “These athletes train hard and endure significant physical demands. Sports-focused DCs, along with other members of the sports medicine team, are specially skilled to assist them in reaching peak performance.”

Chiropractic care has experienced several major moments in Olympic history, dating back to Leroy Perry, DC, who provided chiropractic care to athletes representing Antigua during the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada. During the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, NY, George Goodheart, DC, became the first official chiropractor appointed to the U.S. team.
With each subsequent Olympic Games and Pan American Games, the U.S. teams — along with a growing number of other national teams — have included at least one doctor of chiropractic on their medical staff.

“Inclusion inside the Polyclinic is another major milestone for the chiropractic profession, and we are grateful to the host city of Vancouver, the head of medical services at the Polyclinic, Jack Taunton, MD, and to Robert Armitage, DC, who helped make this possible,” says USOC Director of Sports Medicine Clinics, Bill Moreau, DC, DACBSP.

World class athletes utilize Chiropractic care to keep them aligned and free of nervous system interference for that competitive edge.

Can you guarantee spinal decompression works?

I often have patients ask me if I can guarantee that Spinal decompression works,and the response is that I cannot- because although this treatment is highly effective for 86% of patient population some do not respond favorably.
On a side note there are no guarantees with surgery, especially that you will even wake up,Just look what happened to Charlie Wilson.


I posted below several misconceptions about spinal decompression below:

Every year millions of Americans suffer from back pain. For many, back pain leads to non-surgical spinal decompression treatments. Even though this treatment has been around for years, there are still misconceptions about what it is and how it is used. Here we will go over some of those common misconceptions and set the record straight.
Misconception #1: Spinal Decompression is Painful - Besides being untrue, this is actually the exact opposite of the truth. Most patients find the procedure relaxing. Some even fall asleep during treatments. Patients lie down on a table and watch TV or listen to their Ipod as the machine works.

Misconception #2: Spinal Decompression is Expensive - This all depends on how you look at it. Sometimes it is covered by insurance, making it very affordable. Even when it is not covered by your insurance, if you compare it to the cost of surgery, spinal decompression is cheaper. This does not even include the money you would lose from time lost recovering from surgery. There is no down time from spinal decompression.

Misconception #3: Spinal Decompression Works for Everyone - Another big misconception is that if you have a slipped disc or herniated disc then spinal decompression will work for you. As much as chiropractors would like this to be true, it is not. There is no guarantee that any treatment will work. Not everyone qualifies for spinal decompression. You will have to be evaluated to see if your condition meets the requirements.

Misconception #4: Inversion Tables do the Same Thing - Frankly, I am not sure how this rumor got started. Inversion tables are not the same thing. Spinal decompression requires special FDA approved equipment run by a licensed chiropractor. There is no way you can get the same results and the same treatment at home. Inversion tables are completely different and will not give you the same results.

Misconception #5: Spinal Decompression and Spinal Surgery Have the Same Results - Thankfully, this is not true either. Spinal surgery has a shockingly low rate of success. In fact, the majority of patients will experience pain even after having surgery. Spinal decompression, on the other hand, has an exceedingly high success rate. In addition, patients do not lose time from missing work and there is no pain experienced with the procedure.

Misconception #6: All Chiropractors Give the Same Spinal Decompression Treatment - Again, this is a myth that needs to be stopped. Not all chiropractors are the same. Different chiropractors will offer different services. When choosing a chiropractor for your spinal decompression treatments, you will want to base the decision on a variety of factors. First, does the chiropractor work with a team? You will want to make sure you can get physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic services all in the same office. Second, does the chiropractor work well with you? No sense going to a chiropractor that doesn't listen to you. You want to find a chiropractor that will work with you to develop a plan of recovery that may or may not include spinal decompression. Finally, you need a chiropractor and staff you can trust. Do they greet you with a friendly smile? Do they guarantee you will get the same day appointment? You need someone who is willing to see you when you need to be seen. You need someone you can trust to be there for you.
Also not all spinal decompression are the same, be sure to insist on the highest possible quality medical equipment like the DRX 9000 spinal decompression machine.

Spinal decompression in NYC with Herniated disc specialist-Dr.Steven Shoshany

Repairing a Herniated Disc without Surgery in NYC

If you are suffering with severe back pain and have been diagnosed with a herniated disc (sometimes called a prolapsed disc), you may be considering surgery as a solution. However, at our practice, Living Well Medical in NYC, we take an integrative approach that can stop pain without the need for back/spine surgery. Using chiropractic care and non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000, pain from conditions like pinched nerves and herniated discs can feel like themselves again.

In many cases, when no other forms of treatment have been effective, discs in the lower back (lumbar discs) or neck (cervical discs) respond favorably to chiropractic, non-surgical spinal decompression or a combination of both. So many of the people we see have been everywhere, tried everything and found little or no relief. They have tried pain medication regimens, muscle relaxants, even spinal injections through pain management and are still in agony. They have exhausted the options that conventional medicine has presented them. But, of course, back surgery for a herniated disc can be a terrifying prospect, so they come to our NYC office in search of an alternative.

Chiropractic adjustment seeks to root out spinal misalignments that can be the cause of pain. A herniated disc will in many cases respond to manual therapy like chiropractic, but it’s true that a small percentage will not find relief. For these patients a combination of non-surgical spinal decompression and adjustment can help ease the pain in their neck or lower back.

Non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000 is a huge technological advancement in the field of treatment of conditions like herniated or bulging disc, pinched nerves, and degenerative disc disease without having to go under the knife. This computer-guided machine puts patients in a harness that helps direct a precise amount of force at the specific intervertebral disc that has bulged, herniated or otherwise failed in its function. Over the course of a treatment, the machine goes through a stretching phase followed by a period of semi-relaxation. The stretching helps increase the space between the vertebrae, stretch ligaments, and elongate the spine. In addition, the DRX9000 monitors biofeedback to determine if muscle guarding is occurring so that it can reduce the amount of stretching.

Over the course of a typical spinal decompression treatment cycle, these stretches help to create negative pressure inside of a disc which can pull herniated or bulging disc material back into its proper position, relieving nerve compression and pain in the process.

It’s true that non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000 is not a panacea for back pain. There are a number of other factors to be addressed like lifestyle choices, exercise training and overall wellness. However, it’s also true that non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000 gives patients hope for back and neck pain relief without surgery.

For patients still in pain because of a herniated or bulging disc, Living Well Medical in NYC wants to help you. Call us today at 212-645-8151 or visit our website at Living Well Medical.

After treating fifty patients on the DRX-9000, Dr. Noriaki Yamamoto and others reported that 76% of patients were satisfied with the treatment. The patients received 30-minute sessions every week or 2 weeks, for 3 months and revealed a decrease in pain of 4.91 ± 0.93 to 2.69 ± 1.02 (p<0.01). Although the treatment program used by Dr. Yamamoto did not follow Axiom’s published protocol, positive results were still demonstrated. A previous study following Axiom’s protocol which was published in the December 2008 issue of the Journal of Medicine revealed a mean patient rating of 7.61 (0-10 scale) at the mid point of treatment and 8.1 after the final week of treatment.
