Episode 113 - 4 Biggest Myths About Decompression - DEBUNKED

Has a doctor ever told you spinal decompression doesn't work, won't last or could make your pain worse? In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum explains why many of those doctors are right. Most decompression isn't done properly. Drawing on more than 53,000 decompression treatments, Dr. Dudum breaks down the four biggest objections and covers why flexion-extension films that rule out spinal instability matter before treatment starts. You'll also hear the story of Robert. He was told he needed a cervical fusion, but his peer-reviewed case showed a 52% reduction of his disc extrusion on MRI 13 months later. He's now pain-free and never had surgery. Dr. Dudum shares the proven visit-by-visit plan, pre- and post-treatment MRIs from his three published research papers, and the 3-, 12- and 18-month follow-up imaging that tracks results over time. If you're dealing with a herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or neck pain and want to avoid surgery, comment "HELP" and his team will point you to the right provider.
