Spinal Decompression for Back Pain Special Offer
Orange, CA

back_pain_womanFor many severe low back pain sufferers, DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy is a Godsend. Without the risks of shots or surgery, and with results proven out over several years with thousands of satisfied patients, back pain sufferers who’s past treatments have failed have New Hope.

But as with any new technology, Hope is hampered by the reality of the marketplace. This hot new therapy procedure carries a steep price tag. Making matters more difficult, many services are not covered by health insurance. So, with costs ranging between $5,000 and $9,000 and little help from insurance, many back pain and sciatica sufferers are priced out of the market.

One Orange County, CA Spinal Decompression specialist has, however decided to change his business model to allow greater access to this very successful back pain and sciatica treatment.

As a leader in DRX9000 Spinal Decompression therapy in Orange, CA since 2005, Dr Barry Marks has a strong following of happy patients who have been saved from surgery and nagging chronic pain.

“The DRX9000 has changed the lives of hundreds of my patients,” reports Dr. Marks. “The problem is that during these tough economic times there are more people who cannot afford this treatment compared to those who can. The Orange County, CA economy is very grim. People are having a hard time making their financial commitments, so a high price tag service like decompression must take a back seat to essentials.”

Dr. Marks realizes many of the people who would benefit from this procedure need it to be able to get back to work or stay functioning at work so they can weather this economic down turn.

“I want to make sure that if there are people out there that need this, I want to lower the cost threshold enough so that they can take advantage of this powerful treatment.”

For a limited time and for a limited number of patients, Dr. Marks is offering his complete Enhanced DRX9000 Spinal Decompression program that regularly costs $5,297 for only $2,497. That’s more than half off. Offer limited to first 5 callers and expires on Oct 16, 2009 at 6 pm. For more details call (714) 938-0575 and ask about the “Fall DRX Special” or go to http://spinediscrehab.com/special.html

A good stretch for lower back pain due to disc herniation, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, sacroiliac strain and tight lower back due to a strain is the Knee-to-Chest stretch.

  • Simply lie flat on your backback-pain-exercise-knee-to-chest
  • Bend your knees and grasp them with your hands
  • Pull knees up towards chest and hold for a 5 count

An alternative is to use only one knees at a time or to bring one knee up towards the opposite shoulder and hold. This is good for stretching the sacroiliac joint.

Back Pain from Disc Dehydration with No Disc Bulge or Herniation and No Sciatica?

May 20, 2009

Lower Back Pain Diagnosis and Back Pain Treatment Information
Dr Barry L Marks, DC | Orange County Back Pain Specialist

A common question I get is “How can I have pain, when there is no disc bulge or herniated disc and there is no pressure on my nerves on the MRI? My doctor says I have no bulge so he doesn’t know why I hurt…”

spine_anatomy_ivfIt’s an excellent question really and one that often stumps doctors. The answer lies in the anatomy of the spine and disc in particular. Up until about 20 years ago doctors thought the discs and supporting ligaments of the spine had no nerve supply. We now know however that the outer layers of the disc called the annulus and the broad ligament that runs up and down the back of each spinal bone (posterior longitudinal ligament) are both supplied by the sinuvertebral nerve. This nerve carries pain impulses from these structures.

When you think of nerves, you may think of a sinlge wire leading from the spine to it’s intended target like wiring in your house or car. It’s a nice and neat way to think. The reality is however, that nerves are more like ivy. A main nerve may lead to the target, but once there the nerve divides into many tiny fibers that spread out over the area. So it is in your disc and posterior longitiduinal ligament. back-pain-disc

So when your disc is in trouble and beghins to become dehydrated and deteriorates (degenerative disc disease) it has been found that your nerves begin multiplying and cover the area even more densly. This leads to a disc that is hypersensitive and when the nerves are irritated they bombard your brain with pain messages.  The nerves that are embedded in your discs tell the brain to sense pain directly over the spine. Therefore, if you have degenerative disc disease of your last disc, your L5 disc, you will perceive pain in the midline of your lower back just above your tailbone.

The reason you do not experience sciatica is because the nerves that cause sciatic pain (pain down your butt to your legs and feet)  are further away from the disc in the hole between the spinal bones known as the foramen. To irritate these nerves, there needs to be pressure into the foramen by either a space that is diminished by the two bones coming closer together as the disc deteriorates or from a bulge or herniation poking into the foramen and onto the nerves.

So, if you are sufferifng from pain that is in the midline of your spine and you have a positive MRI for dehydration (desiccation) or degenerative disc disease, but no bulge or herniation it is likely you are suffering from disc disease that is affecting the sinuvertebrtal nerve.

Back pain medications…safe?

Author of “Cure for Lower Back Pain”

back_pain_medicationMany regard taking medications for lower back pain to be safe and with little risk. Afterall, it is the first course of treatment in traditional medical treatment of back pain.

But are medications really safe?

Here are a few drug facts to consider:

  • According to Canadian researchers, approximately 32,000 hospitalized patients (and possibly as many as 106,000) in the USA die each year because of adverse reactions to their prescribed medications. (Source: AMA, 1998), Nov. 25, 1998, Vol. 280, No. 20, from the web at http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v280n20/ffull/jlt1125-1.html, last accessed Feb. 12, 2001.)
  • OTC medications as a category are responsible for more than 150,000 hospitalizations every year, according to the Food and Drug Administration, and almost 1000 OTC medications have been linked to liver toxicity, which causes about 2000 deaths annually in the United States (Ford MD et al 2001).
  • More than 30,000 cases per year of acetaminophen overdose are reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (Bartlett D 2004).
  • NSAIDs results in approximately 107,000 hospitalizations annually for gastrointestinal complications and 16,500 deaths for arthritis patients (Peura DA 2002).

Obviously popping a pill is not without risk. If you are suffering from back pain or arthritis be sure to investigate proven alternative methods that minimize your exposure to dangerous drugs.

Low Back Pain Medication, Which Works Best?

September 30, 2008

Dr Barry L Marks,
Chiropractor, Spinal Decompression Specialist
A Review of Recent Literature on Back Pain Medications

A recent Cochrane Review looked at different medications for back pain to determine which ones were most effective. The results were surprising and should lead medical physicians to change their prescribing habits for their back pain patients.

The retrospective review gathered data from numerous double blinded placebo controlled studies of medication for back pain.

The back pain medications studied were:

  • NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) include drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil) and naproxen (Aleve)
  • New class of NSAID’s called Cox 2 inhibitors (Celecoxib aka Celebrex)
  • Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
  • “Muscle relaxers”

Their findings:

  • NSAIDs work in the short-term, but they aren’t really better than plain Tylenol
  • NSAIDs are more effective than a placebo but with more side effects
  • COX-2 inhibitors do spare the GI tract; but they don’t work better than the traditional NSAIDs
  • There wasn’t one individual NSAID that worked better than others
  • It is not necessary to combine an NSAID with a muscle relaxant. This doesn’t provide greater symptom relief but it does increase the negative side effects

How this affects you and your back pain:
Expensive prescription drugs like Celebrex do not work any better than Tylenol, Advil, Motrin or Aleve.

All NSAID’s are about the same as far as efficacy for relieiving back pain and are no better than Tylenol.

Muscle relaxants should not be routinely prescribed for back pain as they do not improve outcomes, but do cause more side-effects.
