Broadview Spine & Health Centre

If you are suffering from low back or neck pain, then no doubt you know how painful that can be, let alone how disruptive to your life it is.

It can be frustrating to try different forms of treatment without benefit, and even seek a surgical consult only to be told that “you are not bad enough” for surgery.  In some cases, surgery may not have been the answer either.  I’m here to tell you all is not lost.  Take the time to read the information below.  It will explain our cutting-edge program for serious back and neck pain utilizing non-surgical disc decompression therapy.

 A Unique Approach To Your Problem

We believe in thinking differently and challenging the status quo.  We believe in giving you an innovative approach to resolving your back and/or neck pain. The way we challenge the status quo is by not only utilizing unique technologies, but combining them specific to your needs to obtain even better outcomes. We perform testing that is specific to your complaint but utilize testing methods you’ve never experienced before.  We find out what’s working and leave that alone.  Then we find out what is not working and utilize the various unique treatment technologies to treat your condition unlike any way you’ve been treated before.

We develop a recovery plan that treats you, the patient, not the diagnosis you’ve been given.  If treating the diagnosis with the conventional approach worked, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

If you are the kind of person that is truly committed to getting well, then I believe we have the health recovery program for you.

Our cutting-edge treatment for serious neck and back pain uses state of the art non-surgical disc decompression therapy as part of your program.  Owing to the complexity of serious back and neck pain we can employ the following options to ensure a greater chance of an excellent outcome.  We may use:

• Non-surgical Disc Decompression Therapy: This breakthrough technology targets the repair of bulging, prolapsed or herniated discs in the back or neck.
• Cold Laser Therapy: This painless procedure will help repair damaged tissue and control inflammation.
• Rebuilder ® Technology:  This form of electrotherapy has been extremely beneficial as a pain management tool for our toughest cases.  Please note this is head and shoulders above TENS or interferential current.
• Brain Based Therapy:  In some cases our brain’s interpretation of  joint position sense can become altered.  Pain can be the consequence for the back and neck.  Our brain-based therapy which is painless, can employdifferent forms of stimulation (light, sound, touch etc.) to help increase joint position sense, which ultimately has a positive effect on recovery.
• Active Therapeutic Movement: If you are undergoing decompression therapy, this is the companion technology that is most beneficial to strengthen muscle while reducing the load on discs.  This treatment targets the weak muscles in a unique way, thereby speeding recovery.

 Let’s look at some causes of your pain

Have you been diagnosed with a bulging, prolapsed or herniated disc in your low back or neck?  You are not alone; 80% of back and neck pain is caused by disc problems.  No doubt you can attest to how painful your condition is and equally important how much it interferes with your life.

On the other hand, you may have been told that your low back or neck pain may be due to spinal degeneration (osteoarthritis) and/or spinal stenosis.

Consequently, damage to your discs from the causes listed above can result in referred pain from your neck into your arm and/or between your shoulder blades.  Damage to discs in your low back can cause referred pain into your legs and/or feet called sciatica (si-at-i-ka).

Where To Begin

Determining if you are a good candidate for non-surgical disc decompression therapy is a two step process.  First, we will review your history including imaging studies and perform an examination that utilizes orthopaedic, neurologic and laboratory tests.  This will reveal important information about your condition.  If we determine after the first step you may be a good candidate for care you will be required to undergo a suitability test.  This is a complimentary, no obligation two treatment trial on our decompression table.  If we deem that you have passed this test we will present your proposed program of care.  Let our experience and training, which is unequalled in Canada, help you get back to a normal lifestyle.
