Spinal Decompression Toronto Style Means Being a True Healing Partner

Four out of five Canadian adults will suffer with serious, chronic back pain at some point in their life. It is, unfortunately, a common experience. The key to achieving true healing and pain relief is finding a True Healing Partner. This is a doctor who understands the importance of proper screening, is able to identify the true source of the pain, and offers advanced, cutting-edge care that delivers a high success rate for even the most challenging back pain cases.

Back Clinics of Canada is committed to being a True Healing Partner for each patient. Our goal is not only to help as many patients as possible live a pain free life. We aim to provide the most appropriate care for each patient to achieve their own optimum results.

Patients suffering with back pain or neck pain due to conditions like bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal arthritis, spinal stenosis and facet syndrome will often seek conventional treatments like traditional chiropractic care, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, acupuncture, anti-inflammatories, and pain relievers (including narcotics like oxycontin). A number of patients sadly do not have successful results from these conventional treatments. They are sometimes told to live with their pain. They may seek surgery, which is risky and has doubtful outcomes. There is also an alarming growing increase of such patients becoming dangerously addicted to pain relieving narcotics while not achieving true relief from their pain.

We say, don’t despair. If you are such a patient, find for yourself a True Healing Partner who will work to identify the true cause of your pain and offer a treatment plan that optimizes your chances for healing.

Back Clinics of Canada helps challenging cases with non-surgical Spinal Decompression. This advanced, cutting-edge therapy targets the damaged disc(s) requiring care with safe, non-invasive, non-surgical spinal decompression forces. No drugs or medications are prescribed. The method leaves the patient free from scar tissue or any notable side effects. Non-surgical Spinal Decompression creates an environment around the damaged disc that enables true healing at the source of the problem.

Not every patient with spinal disc pathology is a candidate for this kind of treatment. A doctor who offers spinal decompression therapy must determine the suitability of each patient for such care. This is accomplished with a comprehensive consultation and examination.

By meticulously conducting a thorough consultation and examination, the doctor is able to communicate the probable outcomes, diagnoses, and implications of care clearly and accurately. The doctor and patient can then establish a trusting relationship and enter a program of care on solid ground.

Pre-Qualifying Spinal Decompression Patients Is Key

Your True Healing Partner should schedule uninterrupted time with you to conduct a thorough consultation/examination. This gives you opportunity to establish a good relationship. The doctor should make you feel comfortable to share any and all information that will be helpful in determining your candidacy for care.

The doctor should be familiar with and recognize the profile of a typical spinal decompression patient. For example, such a patient:

– suffers with a herniated or bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or spinal arthritis
– has chronic pain, lasting from a few months to many years
– is 30-75 years old
– has pain localized to lumbar or cervical pain
– has already tried many forms of care, without success: physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, drug therapy, acupuncture, homeopathy, surgery, or even other chiropractic care
– may be taking medication for pain relief
– has experienced deterioration in the quality of life and in emotional health leading to anger, frustration, fear, and even depression.

The doctor should request copies of everything related to your condition: X-rays, MRIs, CT-scans, and any films, disks or reports. The doctor needs to know which tests have been done and what diagnoses have been made. This will help determine which additional tests may needed.

During your first interview the doctor should create an environment of safety and trust where you can comfortably share not just your pain but also the circumstances that led to it, and the impact the pain has had. In return, be a healing partner and share whatever you’ve tried to heal and alleviate the pain. The best doctor is always empathetic and always gives the patient permission to express concerns and goals.

Examining the Spinal Decompression Candidate

When the consultation is complete, unless pre-existing conditions preclude you from spinal decompression therapy, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination. Your comfort should be a priority. Considering your pain, the doctor should be cautious about causing any additional discomfort.

Your True Healing Partner should complete spinal examination and proceed with a full range of appropriate testing. At Back Clinics of Canada we also use high-tech assessment tools; the surface EMG, to uncover neurological deficits, further identify which nerves are involved, and help form the most appropriate diagnosis.

If you are referred for non-surgical spinal decompression and begin a care program, your True Healing Partner will perform ongoing assessments to monitor the patient’s progress objectively.

Laying the Foundation of Trust

All interaction and conversation between you and the doctor is with goal of becoming a great team to achieve your goals for true and lasting healing.
