Try to prevent back surgery because: Patients who undergo spinal surgery have a higher risk for postoperative depression than patients treated for other surgical or medical conditions known to be associated with depression.

This pilot study confirmed the expected significant impact of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy on pain and disability levels in patients with lumbar and cervical disc herniation. There was no significant association between age and magnitude of therapy outcomes. Spinal decompression therapy yields the same effect on patients among all age groups.

Success in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression treatment for low back pain and radicular pain caused by lumbar disc herniation or protrusion.
This study concluded that nonsurgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in back pain and radicular pain and with an increase in disc height.
Methods
In this research group 1 patients underwent a 6-week treatment protocol of motorised nonsurgical spinal decompression, and in group 2 they underwent a 6-week physiotherapy with deep heat modalities and ordinary traction.
Results
Radicular pain and disc height using MRI were significantly improved in group 1 compared with group 2.

REAL-TIME MRI IMAGING EVALUATION DURING TRACTION: change in a disk shape, disk reduction with an opening in the intervertebral disk, reduction of a herniated disk volume, separation of the disk and adjoining nerve root, and widening of the facet joint.

NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: Low back pain decreased, and disc height increased. The increase in disc height and reduction in pain were significantly correlated.

Is lumbar fusion the solution for a lumbar disc problem?
According to this research, the overall occurrence rate of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) increases to 50% !!!!
A solution in one area creates a problem in another location (usually above or below).
Non-Surgical Spine Decompression might be the answer to avoid surgery.

This randomised, clinical, controlled trial showed that it is reasonable and safe to encourage patients with radiation down the leg due to a lumbar disc herniation to continue nonoperative treatment. The length of time for having the neurological symptoms was also not significant.

Validating our work of "No-Surgical Spinal Decompression" is this research from February 2023: "At 1G and 0G gravity, the following happened to the discs: the compressive forces on lumbar discs decreased 62-70%, the muscle forces decreased 55.7-92.9%, while disc water content increased 7.0-10.2%, disc height increased 2.1-3.0%, disc volume increased 6.4-9.3%, and ligament forces increased 59.5-271.3%

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression creates the following:
(-)The posterior disc space increases in height.
(-) Decompression decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis.
(-) Intradiscal pressure drops under distraction up to negative -192 mm Hg.
(-) Intervertebral foraminal openings enlarge, giving potency to the nerve
(-) Decompression stretches the ligamentum flavum to reduce stenosis.
(-) Decompression increases metabolite transport into the disc.
(-) Decompression opens the facet joints and reduces posterior disc stress.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression might be the answer to this paper: "Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) can be spontaneously absorbed without surgical treatment. However, the pathogenesis and physiological indications for predicting protrusion reabsorption are still unclear, which prevents clinicians from preferentially choosing conservative treatment options for LDH patients with reabsorption effects".

LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION CAN BE SPONTANEOUSLY ABSORBED WITHOUT SURGICAL TREATMENT (August 2022 Research. - Dr. Sommer Research pearls).
The biological mechanisms involved in the phenomenon of lumbar disc herniation reabsorption, including macrophage infiltration, inflammatory responses, matrix remodeling, and neovascularization. Therefore the basis of the clinical application for promoting reabsorption with technics like non-surgical spinal decompression might be the future preferred option.

Dr. Sommer (Research Pearls):
May 2022 published research - Low Back Pain (LBP) is highly prevalent, with 70–90% of people suffering from LBP at some point in their lives. As a result, LBP costs the Australian healthcare system AUD$4.8 billion annually. It is one of the most common reasons for visiting a general practitioner and is the leading cause of lost productive years. With approximately 50% of people having disability beyond 3 months!!!

Disc distraction shows evidence of REGENERATIVE potential in degenerated intervertebral discs.

DOES THE SIZE OF THE DISC MATTER? (from Dr. Sommers research pearls):
According to this research; The size of the disc does NOT predict the failure outcome of conservative care.
That means that even large discs can be treated conservatively and do not necessarily need to be operated.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, Mechanism of Action:
(-)The posterior disc space increases in height.
(-) Intervertebral foraminal openings enlarge, giving patency to the nerve.
(-) Intradiscal pressure drops under distraction up to negative -192 mm Hg.
(-) Flexion decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis.
(-) Flexion increase the intervertebral foramen up to 28%
(-) Flexion stretches the ligamentum flavum to reduce stenosis.
(-) Flexion increases metabolite transport into the disc.
(-) Flexion opens the epiphysial joints and reduces posterior disc stress.

Repeat MRI in non-operative patients after conservative care, with a massive lumbar disc herniation, showed a dramatic resolution of the herniation.

From Dr. Sommer Research Pearls: October 2020: "In young Low Back Patients, early degeneration in lumbar discs predicts progressive degenerative changes in the respective discs, but NOT pain, disability, or clinical symptoms".
