Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) September 3, 2004
Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Back 2 Backs, Inc. for its innovative, educational television series, Health Forum. The company will be featured in a series on “Technology in Pain Management.”
Anyone who has ever had back pain knows it is immobilizing, excruciating and unbearable at times. Until recently, pain medication and/or surgery were the only solutions, and even they were not always effective.
That is why the spinal decompression treatment offered by Back 2 Backs centers is so relevant. Back 2 Backs’ mission is “removal of pain, reduction of medications and restoration of lifestyle.” Using modern technology, the company is the leading provider of standardized pain management. Through the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians, medical engineers, and advancement in medical technology, the Back 2 Backs medical clinics can effectively treat lower back pain resulting from herniated or deteriorating discs. The results of the Back 2 Backs treatment plan have not only significantly reduced back pain in 87% of the treated patients, but enabled the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.
Back 2 Backs can help problems with herniated and bulging lumbar discs with or without complications, degenerative disc disease, a relapse or failure following surgery even with multiple levels of herniation, facet syndromes, and sciatica.
Three steps in the Back 2 Backs treatment plan are: a complete examination with staff physician; decompression of the spine; and myo-fascial release, performed to relieve tension in the soft tissue surrounding the affected areas to greatly enhance the healing process. The Back 2 Backs technology has also been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, reducing herniation, and strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place. The treatment plan is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare, and usually has low, if any, out-of-pocket costs to the patient.
The program began in 1998 when Dr. Thomas Purtzer, a neurosurgeon from Medford OR, became concerned with the amount of patients who were not experiencing significant reduction in their back pain through surgical procedures. Purtzer explored the research and findings of the world-renowned Dr. Norman Shealy on non-invasive procedures for treating chronic pain. Purtzer later purchased a spinal decompression machine and offered it to his patients. It was such a huge success that he purchased his second machine six months later. It was then logical to create a stand-alone clinic dedicated solely to the non-surgical treatment of lower back pain.
This pain relief system is growing fast, with 13 clinics currently around the United States and more due to open soon. Back 2 Backs pain management centers are M. D.-staffed clinics committed to reducing chronic pain.
