But just because you don’t need surgery doesn’t mean you don’t need treatment. Lordex is the logical choice.Lordex provides successful long-term relief from back pain, but from the standpoint of a non-operative closed procedure. Surgery is open reduction decompression. Lordex is closed reduction decompression. Surgery is open fusion for stabilization. Lordex is closed stabilization through increased paraspinal muscle strengthening. There are three phases of the Lordex Procedure.

Hanoun- What is the Hanoun Multi-Cervical Unit? The Multi-Cervical Unit is the most comprehensive cervical evaluation and rehabilitation system available in the world. It provides for the assessment of range of motion (flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion) with range limiters where applicable, isometric strength (570 different positions), and dynamic strengthening with weight ranges from one-quarter of a pound to 50 pounds.

Traction- Why is traction necessary? The subluxated (abnormal) spinal position involves the adaptive changes of the ligaments, muscles, and in long standing cases, even the vertebral bones. It is necessary to apply a force over time to stretch the ligaments back to their normal position. Due to the fact that ligaments stretch rather slowly the traction force must be introduce gradually. Also, because it does take some time for your body to get used to the new healthy position, we must proceed so as to work within your tolerance. Click Here to LEARN MORE....
EMG / NCV- What is an EMG or NCV? These are commonly preformed procedures that are a direct extension of the physical examination. They detect nerve and muscle disorders. In EMG specifically tests the electrical activity of the muscles. Disposable pin electrodes are inserted into the muscle to record their activity. A NCV specifically tests how well signals travel along a nerve and the time it takes muscle to respond to these signals. Stimulating and recording electrodes are used on the surface of the skin.Click Here to LEARN MORE.... X-rays- MRI, CT Scans, Ultrasounds are all forms of imaging tools used to establish a diagnoses, ascertain problems or document your progress. Our facility makes use of X-rays, an energy form that is cast through the body to project a shadow on special film. Because of the sensitivity to radiation, special care is taken to minimize exposure. Click Here to LEARN MORE....
