DRX 9000-Non Surgical Spinal decompression, Manhattan, NYC


Spinal Decompression in Manhattan New York City-Call (212) 645-1495

Spinal decompression patients we see at NYC Back Pain Relief Center suffer from "chronic back pain" due to various back related injuries and conditions. Our patients have already seen countless doctors and back specialists in addition to trying multiple types of treatments such as bed rest, over the counter and prescription medications, chiropractic care and physical therapy. I have seen how patients become dependant on Vicodin, Percoset and Oxycontin. These medications do not solve the problem and are habit forming.

Often times our Spinal decompression patients have even undergone back surgery for their back pain caused by herniated discs, degenerative discs, sciatic and spinal stenosis.

Alexander technique NYC

This appeared in today's paper.
We have always offered a multi-disciplinary approach to treating patients problems.
The Alexander Technique for Back Pain?
as seen in the New York Times

A recent study in the British Medical Journal BMJ found that the Alexander technique, a noninvasive method of adjusting body postures to relieve stresses, may aid in the treatment of back pain. New York Times reader Karen G. Krueger of New York City had some questions about that research. We contacted Paul Little, professor of primary care research at the U.K.’s University of Southampton and lead author of the BMJ study.

I have found that very few medical professionals in this country know about the Alexander technique; I myself found it through a friend in the arts — the technique is widely taught in music conservatories and drama schools as a means of enhancing performance and avoiding injury. What can you tell readers about the Alexander technique and how it works?

The Alexander technique involves a teacher using both gentle hand contact and verbal instruction to help patients learn to become aware of and avoid harmful habits of muscle use which may cause and maintain pain. The Alexander technique is not a form of back exercise -– rather it is applied in everyday tasks like standing, walking, sitting at a desk or playing a musical instrument. We hypothesize that the Alexander technique works through release of tension, decompression of the spine, more balanced muscle activity and improved flexibility.

In what circumstances should a back pain patient pursue the Alexander technique (with or without an exercise program) as opposed to other, more invasive approaches, such as medication or surgery?

I would recommend any patient try the technique before more invasive interventions; that is, patients with chronic or recurrent functional back pain where there are no clear “red flags,” such as progressive or multilevel neurological symptoms, steroid use or a recent history of trauma.

Have your studies demonstrating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Alexander technique to treat back pain increased the profile and availability of the technique to patients in Britain?

I think the profile has improved but not hugely — the medical establishment is inevitably slow and cautious about recommending new interventions when they perceive them to be novel.

The medical research establishment in the United States has begun to study various alternative health practices to address back pain and other chronic conditions for which traditional medical approaches have had limited success. What can you say about other “alternative” therapies for back pain?


There is encouraging evidence in the short term for massage and yoga and also some evidence for acupuncture, and for chiropractic when combined with exercise regimens. In terms of “alternative therapies” for back pain, try and use something that is based in good research evidence.

The Alexander technique has been around for many years. New York Times Personal Health columnist Jane E. Brody wrote about the technique back in 1990.

SpineForce 3-D rehab trainer goes to Hollywood


Paramount Pictures selected SpineForce to be filmed in training sequences with actors for the upcoming summer 2009 Blockbuster movie “G.I. Joe” currently being filmed in Los Angeles, California. Paramount Studio Producers of the film starring Dennis Quaid and Sienna Miller wanted to highlight the SpineForce 3-D rehab exercise technology on the set of G.I. Joe as the state-of-the-art trainer used by the actors in the film.

SpineForce was developed by leading European physicians, physical therapists, strength conditioning coaches and experts in Biomechanics. SpineForce is the first FDA cleared technology designed to pinpoint and strengthen the 180 deep spinal muscles and improve strength, improve balance, coordination, proprioception, posture and range of motion all in one unique technology.

Deep Spinal musculature is the most important, yet often most neglected part of the body. Affecting over 65 million Americans, low back pain results from the accumulated effects of muscle and/or joint overloading from such biomechanical factors as poor proprioceptive (or sensory/balance) responses and reduced lower back muscle endurance.

Traditional low-tech strengthening and exercise technologies like sit ups, crunches, swiss balls, elastic bands and weight machines can be inconsistent, as they

do not reach the 180 deep spinal muscles. That’s because these exercises typically work on only one plane of motion, which can stress muscles and cause spinal joints and discs to grind and cartilage to wear away. “SpineForce conditions the body from the inside out, reinforcing the spinal structure and increasing overall stability and posture,” explains Dr. Marc Golub, National Trainer.

SpineForce helps patients in 5 primary areas:

* Relieve lower back, neck and shoulder pain which affects millions of Americans
* Improves balance and neuromuscular disorders (Fall Prevention, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis)
* Provides strengthening, agility and coordination exercise for athletes (like improving range of motion and swing speed for golfers)
* Serves as an anti-aging tool (a preventative method for osteoporosis in seniors)
* Rehabilitate core and spinal muscles after back surgery or spinal decompression therapy

Reinforcing and conditioning the entire spinal structure, SpineForce increases overall strength, stability, balance, coordination and posture so people can live their lives to the fullest pain free. The state-of-the-art virtual trainer and interactive visual response system provides biofeedback that motivates and challenges individuals to reach their goals.
SpineForce is available in our Manhattan, NYC office visits us online at www.livingwellnewyork.com
The combination of Spinal Decompression on the DRX 9000 and spinal Rehab with the Spineforce is amazing!

NYC Disc is the only group in NYC that has a Patent on our protocols. We are one of the first spinal decompression practices in Manhattan. If you live or work in the NYC area and are suffering with Chronic back pain, Sciatica or have been diagnosed with a Herniated disc contact the herniated disc specialist in Manhattan NYCSpine Force - Treating Spinal Injuries And Strengthening "Core" Spinal Muscles. Why is there a Need for Core Spinal Stability? The core of the body is the foundation of all bodily movements. As the nerve center of the body, it is where the power is derived from. For maximum health and wellness, the spine must be strong, flexible and unimpeded in its movements. The core spinal muscles connect to the spine, pelvis, and shoulders to create a solid foundation of support. What is SpineForce ? Spine Force is a groundbreaking technology developed in France by LPG that works on the Spine from the inside-out (CORE), analyzing, treating, and helping to prevent musculoskeletal diseases while promoting overall health and well-being. SpineForce is the only machine in the world capable of stimulating the deep muscles of the spine. How Does SpineForce work? Spine Force is the only machine in the world to strengthen the core spinal muscles. The oscillating platform identifies weaknesses and/or imbalances in the spine, creating personalized exercise protocols for patients’ specific needs. The protocols work in conjunction with most physician recommendations to strengthen core spinal muscles. This helps the CORE spinal muscles hold the vertebrae in the proper alignment relieving disc and nerve pressure. This can provide immediate, lasting and measurable results. SpineForce works up to 180 muscles at once, strengthening the muscle chains, optimizing coordination and stimulating balance and improving posture. It can be applied to almost anyone, regardless of age or physical shape; empowering them to reclaim and maintain their complete bodily homeostasis and achieve optimum health. Spine Force is the perfect partner for spinal manipulation and decompression therapy. What are the Core Spinal Muscles? The spine is held together by ligaments and muscles. The core spinal muscles are sometimes referred to as intrinsic stabilizer muscles; they protect the degree and angle of all spinal movements, acting as holders, receptors, and monitoring position. Up until now these muscles were almost impossible to analyze and strengthen.
