Disc/Stenosis/Radiculopathy
Success Secret #2:
Healing Takes Time
One of the most common misconceptions about back pain is that ‘no pain’ means ‘no problem.’ As one undergoes decompression therapy, reducing disc pressure can provide some very welcome relief. However, according to Nicholas Bogduk – one of the world’s leading authorities on back pain – the damaged outer cartilage ring of a disc takes approximately 300 – 500 days to fully heal. So why is this so important? If you want to drastically reduce the recurrence of back pain once the pain is gone, follow your recommended prevention program for long-lasting results.
Fortunately, our program – which includes non-surgical disc decompression therapy – has been specifically designed to help maintain disc unloading so the healing process can fully take place. In our next success secret, we will discuss MRI studies and why today’s success secret is so important.
