Episode 106 - 80 percent Herniation Reduction without Surgery
About this episode
Dr. JD Dudum discusses Steve's successful treatment for a large disc herniation using spinal decompression techniques.
Steve was waking up at 4AM every night, couldn't play golf, and was weeks away from a cortisone injection when he found Dr. JD Dudum. His MRI showed a large L5-S1 disc herniation pressing directly on the nerve and causing sciatica down his leg. After a thorough exam, Dr. JD Dudum determined Steve was a strong candidate for spinal decompression — and the results speak for themselves. Using his precise five-degree angle and signature oscillating pull technique, Dr. JD Dudum gradually reduced the pressure on Steve's disc over an eight-week protocol, combined with Power Plate vibration therapy to strengthen the surrounding spinal muscles. Steve went from sleepless nights and debilitating nerve pain to 100% pain free — no injection, no surgery. His follow-up MRI showed over 80% reduction of the disc herniation. The proof is in the images.
