About the Integrated Disk Rehabilitation Program
Conventional approaches to the treatment of degenerative joint conditions focus on therapies employing rest, drugs and exercise. If these are unsuccessful treatment options include injections and surgery. This program was designed for those whom conventional approaches to recovery contain unacceptable risk or are simply wishing to avoid drug or surgery interventions. This program is suitable for those who have tried drugs or surgery with limited results. This program integrates a range of synergistic natural therapies to stimulate a state of regeneration in the spinal joint tissues.
Program length is usually 90 days. Severe cases can take up to 180 days with ongoing maintenance therapy to maintain progress. Individual results are dependent on the level of degeneration of the tissues and overall health of the person.

We care about our patients as we are patients also and know what it feels like to go through what you are experiencing. We do our best to give you as smooth a ride as possible. If there anything we do that makes you go “OMG don’t ever do that again” then please let us know so we can adjust your treatment level.
