Here’s a text today from a patient who has undergone our non-surgical spinal decompression program…needless to say…he won’t be having spinal surgery anytime soon!!
C5-C6
• 2025: Left paracentral inferiorly migrating disc extrusion measuring 6 × 9 × 7 mm + underlying disc-osteophyte complex; mild bilateral facet arthrosis; severe canal stenosis to 5–6 mm AP (left-eccentric); severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
• 2026: Interval decrease in size of the left central extruded disc herniation → now approximately 2–3 mm. Ventral thecal sac impingement with CSF effacement; mild-to-moderate spinal canal stenosis; moderate-to-severe neuroforaminal stenosis; no change in posterior osteoarthritic ridging/facet arthropathy.
→ Clear improvement — extrusion substantially smaller; canal stenosis improved from severe to mild-moderate
