ANNOUNCING
The Spine Reconditioning System or SRS THERAPY
at Sturbridge Chiropractic. |
|
We use a comprehensive approach to treating back
pain as an alternative to surgery. It's called
Spine Reconditioning System or SRS Therapy. The
focus of SRS Therapy is to combine modern and
traditional technologies in back pain treatment
into one comprehensive back therapy system. This
allows us to treat the underlying causes of back
pain.not just the symptoms. This is a proven alternative
to other therapies and surgery. Studies show up
to a 75% success rate in the relief of pain. The
first step is designed to repair the damage to
the spinal disc without invasive, risky surgery.
The second step is designed to strengthen and
stabilize the muscles and joints surrounding the
spine. SRS Therapy is performed over a series
of treatments. Treatment typically includes disc
decompression therapy, spinal manipulation and
adjunctive therapies. Patients remain fully clothed
while these relaxing procedures are performed.
In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to fall
asleep during treatment. |

SLIPPED
DISC? |
|
Believe it or not, there is no such thing as a
slipped disc, though most people use the expression
when referring to spinal disc problems. Even doctors
occasionally refer to agonizing disc failure as
slipped disc, blown disc, and the like.
The correct scientific term is herniated nucleus
pulposus. But patients prefer to say slipped disc,
so why not?
In order to understand what happens in so-called
slipped disc conditions, let's take a look at
what a spinal disc is. |
|
SPINAL
DISCS |
|
The
bones of the spine (vertebrae) are separated and
cushioned from one another by highly-specialized
tissues called discs, shaped something like rubber
washers and averaging about one-half inch thick. |
|
HEALTHY
DISCS ARE VITAL |
|
The importance of discs to one's well being can
hardly be exaggerated. They keep the vertebrae
from grinding on one another and at the same time
help form notches between vertebrae so that spinal
nerves can exit, fan out, and serve all areas,
organs, and parts of the body with vital nerve
energy. Also, spinal tension caused by the rubbery
discs helps keep the spinal ligaments taut and
thus stabilizes as it protects the delicate spinal
cord.
The disc's structure----a tough outer wall encasing
a rubbery, spongy core---allows them to compress
repeatedly while recovering their shape instantly
(like a sponge) as they help the spine absorb
the shocks, knocks, bumps, twists, and bends encountered
in everyday living. |

HERE
COMES THE PAIN |
|
Normally,
discs perform their duties perfectly for a lifetime,
but sometimes they herniate (protrude) and thereby
press, pinch, irritate, or otherwise compromise
adjacent spinal nerves. This often causes great
pain, sometimes so intense it disables its victim. |
|
MAJOR
CAUSES OF A "SLIPPED" DISC |
|
Some disc protrusions are caused by injury to
the spine. Some result by occupational or recreational
stresses over a long time. Even repeated sitting
or standing in a stressful way can bring on disc
problems.
Then there are disc problems which develop slowly
through disc degeneration and thinning, a process
so gradual over the years it goes unnoticed until
pain and other symptoms demand attention. |

natural way to take care of my pain". "The therapy
is wonderful and I must say the staff is outstanding" -JoAnn H.
"A surgeon told me that I had arthritis in my
back and my legs". " It was so bad you could hardly
stand it". "So that really got me to thinking".
"Well I came over here and I was on a walker at
the time. and after my third trip here I got off
of my walker". "I don't really ache anymore like
I did and I don'[t have the back problems I had".
"Everybody's been real nice to me". -Earl K.
"After my car accident back in February I was
having some severe back pain and I was referenced
to a chiropractor through my insurance company".
"So I looked them up and made an appointment and
came on over to Sturbridge chiropractic". "I can
say by the second or third treatment I could tell
a difference". "I could tell I was sleeping a
little better, I could move better, it wasn't
as tense". "They greet you when you come in the
door". "It's always nice to walk into an office
and receive plentiful smiles." - Shareese B.
"I've had 2 back surgeries in the past 4 years.
And now I have another bulging disc and this is
why I decided to come here". "My back has felt
better than it has in a long time". "Actually
I feel a little stronger". "I'm actually getting
a little braver trying to do things I wasn't able
to do before like water skiing, playing golf,
playing basketball, baseball". "It's been wonderful".
