Disc Degeneration Spinal Decompression

YES, YOU CAN HAVE DISC DEGENERATION AT AGE 33

Hello Dr. Schierling,
I have been struggling with severe low back pain for a while now.  Neither chiropractic adjustments nor physical therapy have helped me much. My doctor finally suggested that I have an MRI.  Although I do not have Herniated Discs, they told me that I have something called "Spondylogenic Spondylolysis".  He said that most doctors refer to this as DJD (Degenerative Joint Disease) or DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease).   How can this be? 


I'll admit that I weigh a bit more than I should, and do not get as much exercise as I would like, but come on..... I mean; how in the world does this happen?  I just turned 33 a couple of months ago.  I saw your DESTROY CHRONIC PAIN website.  Would your scar tissue treatment help me?  What can I do?

Sincerely,
XXXXX  XXXXXXXX

Wow!  These kinds of letters break my heart.  Why?   Mainly because the vast majority of similar problems are almost 100% preventable!  DJD is not a disease in any real sense of the word (HERE).  It is a problem caused by abnormal joint motion over time.  For this sort of degeneration to be occurring at such an early age, it probably means that this individual has had underlying injury / SUBLUXATION for years (it turns out he was in a severe MVA back in high school).

The good thing is that this person can likely be helped by non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy.  Of all the different problems that we help via SCAR TISSUE REMODELING, Degenerative Lumbar Discs are not at the top of the list.  However, they are at the top of the list of the "Best Responders" as far as Spinal Decompression Therapy is concerned.  If you get a couple minutes, check out our VIDEO TESTIMONIALS on the subject.
