24.01.2022 REAL-TIME MRI IMAGING EVALUATION DURING TRACTION Dr. Sommer DC (USA) - Spine Institute Melbourne Australia (research pearls): RESULTS: change in a disk shape, disk reduction with an opening in the intervertebral disk, reduction of a herniated disk volume, separation of the disk and adjoining nerve root, and widening of the facet joint. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25611735

14.01.2022 Spine Institute - Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Centre in Melbourne Australia. Non Surgical Spinal Decompression uses the following concepts: (-)The posterior disc space increases in height. (-) Decompression decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis. (-) Intradiscal pressure drops under distraction up to negative -192 mm Hg.... (-) Intervertebral foraminal openings enlarge giving potency to the nerve (-) Decompression stretches the ligamentum flavum to reduce stenosis. (-) Decompression increases metabolite transport into the disc. (-) Decompression opens the epiphysial joints and reduces posterior disc stress. See more

08.01.2022 2020 Research: MRI: POSITIONAL CHANGES IN LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION DURING STANDING: Lumbar herniated discs increased in size during standing. Increased nerve root compression grades for paracentral herniated discs were found during standing. (If you have had an MRI done lying down, understand that the disc herniation increases while standing !!!) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32822052/

08.01.2022 Validating our work:) - September 2020 research: "LOW-TENSION TRACTION DEVICE IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE REGENERATION AND REPAIR OF DEGENERATED INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32305426/

07.01.2022 A five-year follow-up study (5 years after treatment) on non-surgical treatment of ruptured lumbar disc herniation: (May 2020 research) The volume of protrusion decreased by 45.652.83%. There is a positive correlation between the improvement rate and the protrusion absorption rate at 5 years after non-surgical treatment. Out of 75 patients, only two showed an increased size of the disc after five years. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32452177/

03.01.2022 Interesting research about back surgery and why we should try to avoid it: "The better trained the surgeon the LESS spine surgery is performed. Most is done by private clinics and 4 times less in academic institutions". https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26679881/

01.01.2022 When looking at back surgery: 69% and 22% probability that two randomly selected spine surgeons would disagree on the surgical treatment. This is why we should try to avoid back surgery. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24462813/
