http://helpingbacks.com/disc-decompression

Julie Shattuck explains how Disc Decompression procedure changed her pain. Paul J Lynch MD of Arizona Pain Specialists explains the process of diagnosis and the procedure.

Nearly 10 million people suffer from lower back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc. Medical treatment is estimated to cost more than $20 billion annually.


Percutaneous discectomy using the Stryker Dekompressor® provides a highly effective treatment for relieving pain due to contained disc herniations. Successful in 90% of patients, this minimally invasive procedure reduces pressure on the nerve root by removing disc nucleus. It reduces pain, shortens recovery time, and often returns patients to their previous levels of activity.

This minimally invasive approach completes the continuum of care for patients who haven't responded to conservative treatments, but want an alternative to surgery.
