Loveland, CO (PRWEB) July 20, 2005 -- Mallory Osteopathic Family Practice is
pleased to announce the availability of IDD Therapy®, a proven, non-surgical
therapy for those suffering chronic back and neck pain. Previously, patients in
northern Colorado or southern Wyoming who had exhausted other treatment options
for neck or back pain had to consider surgery, or travel to Denver for
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) Therapy. Given that four out of five
Americans will experience some sort of back pain during their lives, 65 million
suffer from low back pain each year, and a similar number are afflicted with
neck pain, thousands in the area stand to benefit from this
treatment.
“Patients are typically relieved to learn that there is a
treatment option that can allow them to avoid surgery if other types of
treatment for back or neck pain fail,” notes Dr. Mallory. “Surgery works well in
many cases, providing full or partial relief from pain, but there is no
guarantee of success, and IDD Therapy provides an alternative to consider for
those who view surgery as a last resort."
IDD Therapy is performed on an
Accuspina Machine from North American Medical Corporation
(www.spinaprogram.com). IDD Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless, and
has proven successful in treating 86% of people with lower-back pain from
bulging or herniated discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, stenosis and non-specific
causes often treated with surgery. Patients who have not found relief from back
or neck pain after standard medical treatment should consider IDD therapy prior
to choosing surgery in their search for relief.
A recent Nuffield
Orthopaedic Centre study of 349 back pain sufferers in the U.K. was featured on
CNN and other major news sources. The study found no evidence that surgery was a
better treatment, even though it cost nearly twice as much as rehabilitation in
the U.K. IDD Therapy can cost one half to one tenth of what typical back pain
surgeries can run in the U.S. Besides the common cold, back pain is the most
common cause of lost workdays in adults younger than 45 years of age. Patients
seeking relief spend $25 billion annually.
IDD Therapy offers one of the
most advanced methods of decompression therapy available today. During the IDD
Therapy treatment session, the Accuspina machine gradually applies pressure on
specific neck or low back discs, gently opening the discs and allowing oxygen,
proteins and other substrates to enter and re-hydrate the discs. This negative
pressure, or vacuum, promotes the regression of herniated or bulging discs,
thereby effectively relieving the patient’s pain.
The majority of health
insurance plans, including Medicare, cover IDD therapy treatment sessions with
the Accuspina machine. The therapy offers relief from post-surgical patients
still suffering neck or back pain. Dr. Mallory is board-certified in family
practice and osteopathic manipulation. Mallory Osteopathic Family Practice is
located at 1952 Blue Mesa Court, just west of McKee Medical Center. Mallory
Osteopathic Family Practice brings this unique treatment to northern Colorado,
along with traditional family practice services and osteopathic treatment
focusing on preventative healthcare.
