"The outcome of a clinical study evaluating the effect of nonsurgical
intervention on symptoms of spine patients with herniated and
degenerative disc disease is presented.
This clinical outcomes study was performed to evaluate the effect of
spinal decompression on symptoms and physical findings of patients with
herniated and degenerative disc disease. This
study shows that disc disease, the most common cause of back pain,
which costs the American health care system more than $50 billion
annually can be cost-effectively treated using spinal decompression.
The cost for successful non-surgical therapy is less than a tenth of
that for surgery. These results show that biotechnological advances of
spinal decompression reveal promising results for the future of
effective management of patients with disc herniation and degenerative
disc diseases. Long-term outcome studies are needed to determine if
non-surgical treatment prevents later surgery, or merely delays it."

Another study was done on 100 adults. In this study the patients had an average treatment plan of 23 visits over 8 weeks. At the start of the study, the average pain level on a 0-10 scale (0 being no pain, 10 being unbearable pain) was 5.99. Upon the conclusion of the study, that number was
decreased to a 0.87! Full Research
