Answer:No, the patient is in full control. The design of the equipment allows you to stop the treatment at any time.

Answer:Decompression Therapy is a clinically-tested, computerized, and FDA approved treatment with an 85-90% success rate for a number of low back or neck ailments. This non-surgical, non-invasive treatment has helped thousands become pain free. The most common conditions spinal decompression treats is: low back, buttock, hip or leg pain (sciatica) with or without associated tingling or numbness in the leg or foot.

Answer:No, Decompression Therapy is a decompression procedure and produces a vacuum like effect within the disc, while traction does not. Traction only stretches muscles. Answer:No, in fact most people notice a reduction of pain during treatment. Some even sleep during treatment.

Answer:It was developed by Dr. Allen Dyer, a world-renowned medical researcher who invented the cardiac defibrillator that went around the globe to revive heart attack victims. Dr. Dyer holds an M.D., a Ph.D. and a pharmaceutical degree. He is the former deputy minister with the Ministry of Health in Ontario, Canada.

Answer:Decompression Therapy has had excellent success in treatment of patients who have had spinal surgery but continue to have low back or neck pain.

Answer:Yes, in most cases. Of course, Dr. Hanson will have to evaluate the individual to determine whether Decompression Therapy is right for them.

The leads or electrical impulses may irritate or damage the surrounding tissues, including heart tissue and nerves. These risks are rare. If you have further questions about the risks and benefits associated with CRT, be sure to talk with your doctor. Back to top

Disc problems such as bulging discs, herniated discs or ruptured and protruding discs of the cervical and lumbar spine, degenerated discs, joint facet syndrome, sciatica mild spondylolisthesis and stenosis.

Decompression combined with specific positioning takes pressure off structures in your back and neck that are causing pain. After just one treatment, patients have reported less pain and more mobility. No, in fact most of our patients fall asleep at the table. We have created a comfortable and soothing environment for you to relax and enjoy your treatments.

A:While the microdermabrasion is essentially a risk free procedure, especially since the introduction of the crystal free systems, there are a small number of people who should not have microdermabrasion. These include people with active rosacea or cystic acne, active herpes, warts, or those currently using AccutaneTM or other retinoic acid containing medication.

Risks vary from patient to patient and are based on many different factors. Some of the risks associated with the procedure include: Please consult with your physician to better understand these and other risks that may be applicable to your specific situation.

Regular heroin use can lead to physical and psychological dependence. It takes using the drug daily for several weeks for this to occur. Regular use will also lead to increases in tolerance, meaning you will need more of the drug to achieve the same effect. The result of this is that many dependent users rarely reach the level of high which they are hoping for, instead spending most of their time at a functional level, with perhaps a decent high for a short time after the hit.

Many of the health risks associated with heroin use are actually associated with its consumption. This essentially means that they are risks which can be minimised or avoided altogether. Injecting has quite a few risks. Long term, heavy use can lead to serious scarring around the veins, and in some cases vein loss or collapse. The condition of veins is generally far worse in areas where users cannot have a new needle for every injection. Used needles tear veins and cause greater scarring.

Some patients who used Raxar experienced a prolongation of the QT interval. Prolongation of the QT interval may result in a potentially deadly heart rhythm problems called ventricular arrhythmia in some patients.

The risks of spinal surgery are the same for all surgical procedures-infection and anesthesia problems. Depending upon where the surgery is done-cord or nerve root level, neural risks are possible. Depending upon what the surgery is-specific risks from instrumentation or the approach are possible.

Apheresis is usually painless and causes minimal discomfort. During apheresis, the person may feel lightheadedness, chills, numbness around the lips, and cramping in the hands. Unlike bone marrow donation, PBSC donation does not require anesthesia. The medication that is given to stimulate the release of stem cells from the marrow into the bloodstream may cause bone and muscle aches, headaches, and/or difficulty sleeping.

The MIS Knee Joint Replacement technique is significantly less invasive than conventional TKR, but it is still a total knee replacement, not a partial or unicompartmental knee replacement. While the MIS technique requires additional time to complete, it may result in advantages for the patient. Joint replacement surgery is a major surgery and significant complications, while rare, can occur.

Haziness and blurring of vision occur in nearly 20% of patients. Between 1% and 4% of patients treated with PDT develop severe vision loss. This can be permanent. Flashing lights can also occur. Between 2% and 10% of patients develop low back pain at the time of infusion. Not all cases of wet macular degeneration are treatable with laser, PDT or injection of an anti-angiogenic drug. Your doctor may not want to subject you to a treatment that has little benefit but significant risk.

Answer: Adverse anesthesia reaction, infection, nosebleeds, numbness, small bursting of blood vessels on the skin’s surface, and the need for additional surgery are some of the potential complications that can occur with rhinoplasty.

Spinal decompression therapy can effectively treat: Disc Herniations (Low back pain and/or leg pain/numbness & Neck pain and/or arm pain/numbness ), Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, Facet Syndrome, Spinal Stenosis, Failed Back Surgery/Post Surgical Pain Syndrome.

About 10 percent of all women who take HT experience breast tenderness, fluid retention and pelvic cramping. Those who take progestin along with estrogen occasionally may have periodic bleeding similar to menstruation. Some women who are prone to migraine headaches find they develop more headaches when using hormones, but others have fewer headaches when taking hormones. Another long-term complication is a slightly increased risk of gallbladder problems.

The radioiodine treat involves a single injection of a very small volume (<1ml) administered subcutaneously (under the skin). Because the treatment does not require any anesthetic or even extensive manipulation of the patient, the risks are virtually nonexistent. Rarely cats will demonstrate evidence of a sore throat following the treatment. This is more common in cats with large thyroid masses receiving large doses of radioiodine.

Clinical studies have shown Decompression Therapy to be extremely effective in treating back pain -- read research results.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a proven safe and effective means to treat severe and chronic cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) conditions. The program consists of FDA-registered non-surgical Spinal Decompression equipment focusing on discal and arthritic conditions affecting the spine.

Substance use presents obvious immediate health risks such as alcohol poisoning and death from overdose. Less obvious health risks from substance use include:

For a complete list and explanation of potential risks and discomforts, please refer to section C. of the consent form in English and in Spanish. The consent form will be discussed with you and given to you in writing at the time of your enrollment along with the Research Subjects' Bill of Rights in English or in Spanish.

Infection with Plasmodium falciparum, if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. P. falciparum malaria carries a higher risk of death and serious complications in pregnant women than in the general population. Pregnant women anticipating travel to malarious areas should discuss the risks and benefits of such travel with their physicians. [7]
