Do you really need surgery for a herniated disc? Portland Maine
I just had a conversation with someone who rushed into surgery. I was so sad that they had never checked into alternatives. They are now living with incontinence and a brace on their lower leg. They may have needed surgery all along, but I would be willing to bet that had they tried the Cox technique when they first had symptoms, or a month before surgery, they probably would not gone with an operation. The current research shows that 93% of people with herniated discs in their neck or low back, don’t go to surgery. If you know someone, or God forbid you yourself are considering surgery, please do yourself or someone else a favor and try the Cox technique.

I have been dealing with neck pain for a few years now. I have had epidural shots and been treated with pain medication. My herniated disks are in the upper neck of my spine. Those shots didn’t last very long unfortunately…only like a week or so.
