D spinal traction has the capability of relieving pressure on the spinal nerves caused by disc bulges and degenerative disc disease (arthritis), and is helpful for conditions such as sciatica and facet syndrome. It is used to treat acute or chronic neck or low back pain and associated neurological symptoms. The use of controlled intermittent traction can promote non-Surgical, non-invasive spinal decompression therapy that is safe, comfortable and painless. Our specialised, computerised equipment allows us to modify the angle of distraction, position of the spine, and the amount of force applied

Lumbar Disc Disease Overview

 Low back pain is a very common complaint in the aging population. Fortunately, most episodes of low back pain are self-limiting and resolve within approximately six weeks, regardless of treatment.

In most cases of lower back pain, no specific imaging studies or treatment is needed. It is important to first rule out any serious causes of low back pain that need further evaluation by a doctor. “Red flags” (or clues that something more serious could be causing the low back pain) include

Manual Therapy

Human touch is an essential ingredient in our treatment philosophy and approach, and for good reason. Patients respond positively to hands-on work when combined with exercise and education. This leads to faster recovery and less out-of-pocket expenses.

The acronym PRP has most recently been featured in the news with the rising popularity of the treatment among professional athletes, recreational athletes, and highly functional individuals. Many have attributed PRP injections, particularly for athletic injuries, with enabling them to return back to regular activities and competition with minimal to no pain at all. This rapidly emerging technique shows very promising

Ozonucleolysis

Ozonucleolysis for slipped / prolapsed Disc

Ozone may be a wonder molecule to the clinicians though its potentials yet to be fully explored. It has role in controlling bacterial, fungal & viral infections including AIDS, treating non-healing ulcers, Rheumatoid and other kinds of arthritis, different kind of skin diseases and many others.

What is ozone?

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Spine surgery is traditionally done as “open surgery,” meaning the area being operated on is opened with a long incision to allow the surgeon to view and access the anatomy. In recent years, however, technological advances have allowed more back and neck conditions to be treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique.

Because minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), does not involve a long incision, it avoids significant damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. In most cases, this results in less pain after surgery

Lumbar Muscle Spasms

DefinitionLumbar muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscles of the lumbar region of the back (the lower back).

DescriptionThe back’s muscles and any of the ligaments can be injured or irritated. What causes trouble may be a sudden movement in the heat of a tennis match or a game of touch football, or a fall, twist, or sudden muscle contraction to avoid a fall.
