You may be thinking "What IS going to happen to me if I can't find a solution to my back pain or leg pain?" The answer to your question starts out hopeful. I'll just go to my doctor and he will take care of me.

He or She is very busy treating infections, diabetes, heart conditions and the like, which they are very well equipped to handle.
This is very apparent with your resulting drug prescription for Soma muscle relaxers and Norco, Neruontin or any other of the various prescribed pain medications.
You then take the drugs soon to feel strangely like your not altogether "there" or you immediately are sick ,feel nausea and vomit the drugs as fast as you swallowed them.
When you get sick of that (pardon the pun! I couldn't resist), you go back to your doctor looking for another more appealing treatment. This time it's physical therapy. The thing you already can't do!! You already can't bend over, twist, lift things, and now they want you to do more of it with a bunch of other back pain sufferers!
Gimme a break. Now, you've really had it. You try the chiropractor and either you feel better for a little while only to have the pain return, or worse nothing happens at all.
Or even worse than that, after your treatment you have MORE pain (not because chiropractic does not work..your condition is just too deteriorated or severe).
Then you try acupuncture because you read in a magazine it could help pain. You then realize sticking a bunch of needles in you will not magically remove the bulging disc that is smashing your nerve and causing you pain.
You try massage as you read on the internet massage may help alleviate back pain...only to be disappointed. You're now beginning to feel desperate.
Back to your primary care doctor to tell him about your adventures hoping he will have a different answer this time. He does. "We can inject pain drugs through a big needle into your spine".
You cringe in fear and reluctantly agree at this point. "NOW I will be fixed". Or at least that's what you've been led to believe. You have either no pain relief, some pain relief , a whole lot of pain relief or it makes you have more pain.
The second pain shot (oh, yes there will be a second and a third) is usually less effective or not at all and requires another one. You come to the realization that pain shots will not fix the disc bulge or herniation still smashing your delicate nerves causing you pain.
Finally, your doctor recommends you see a "Specialist" (Back Surgeon) and he can do risky surgery. If you've read the latest article in the Journal Of American Medical Association*, you will see surgery patients and non surgery patients turned out the same!
Why even do the surgery? Risk of paralysis, death, infections, more pain. No thanks. So. Back to the question. What are YOU going to do if you are stuck between serious back pain or leg pain or surgery?
Great News! Non Surgical Spinal Decompression is the newest non invasive breakthrough treatment for severe neck and arm pain, as well as low back pain and leg pain In the last 100 years.
It is a new non surgical procedure that treats neck pain, pain, numbness and tingling down the arms or into the hands, as well as lower back pain and pain, numbness and tingling or weakness in the legs or feet.
The procedure gently sucks back in bulging, protruding and herniated discs in the neck and lower back. The procedure also rehydrates dried out degenerated discs and causes them to pump back up as the fluid softens and expands the worn down dried out disc.
For qualified candidates, this new treatment eliminates back pain, leg pain, neck pain and arm or hand pain without the risks of back or neck surgery and is very successful even when all other non surgical treatments seem to fail.
