Default Back pain, and or sciatica

I am a retired doctor of chiropractic who practiced over 30 years. Chiropractic gave me my life back when I had severe back pain and sciatica. However when I had an auto accident that gave me for major herniated discs in the low back and I could not walk and my sciatica was so severe they put an elevator chair in my home. I had spent thousands of dollars on medical chiropractic physical therapy and epidurals and a failed minimally invasive laser spine surgery that injured me horribly and made my sciatica worse.

Then I discovered IDD internal disc decompression which got me walking pain-free again and put a golf club back in my hands. And that's what I recommended to patients for years until I retired try natural first drug second and surgery last. It is a noninvasive very gentle procedure that takes the pressure off the nerves and rehydrate the disc like a squashed marshmallow becoming more whole again. I know when I had a flareup I went to colony chiropractic Dr. Robert Assaunaught who has an inexpensive decompression table but it helped me. My original decompression table called VAX/D is now in my basement in Atlanta and when I bend over wrong or cough or sneeze or put the tea in the ground wrong, my wife puts me on decompression and four days later I'm back doing things I haven't been able to do for 30 years i.e. golf pickle ball tennis etc. Hope this helps
