The Lordex Spine Institute has announced the selection of Dr. Richard Therkelsen in Old Bridge/Matawan to an elite group of specialists offering Spinal Decompression Therapy (SDT), a non-surgical treatment for low back pain. Under the direction of Dr. Therkelsen, the Central Jersey Lordex Spine Institute now offers a solution to the common causes of mechanical spinal pathology including herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica, stenosis, and other conditions. Treatment of lumbar dysfunction, says Dr. Therkelsen involves more than just pain relief. Restoring proper function by decompressing the disc and stabilizing the spine with strength training is essential for proper treatment. This is what I found the Lordex System offers. The Strength Restoration System (SRS) and Stretch-Flex Techniques (SFT) are integral parts of the Lordex procedure. Without them, simple decompression is quite temporary. There needs to be a strengthening system in place to stailize the correction that is provided by the decompression. This is what provides long-lasting results, said Dr. Therkelsen.
The Lordex Spine System is a revolutionary, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure developed after many years of research and clinical tests. The system has treated thousands of patients,
and has produced an incredible success rate for patients with disc problems. Patients in both acute and chronic pain are potential candidates for the Lordex protocol. Persons with
fractures, tumors, infections, or metabolic diseases do not qualify for this procedure.
Eight out of ten Americans suffer from back pain, accounting for 40% of all lost workdays and representing the largest component of worker'ss compensation. Patients seeking relief spend
$25 billion annually. A significant portion of those dollars is spent on medications that only provide temporary relief and do not cure anything. In fact, medications known as NSAIDS
(e.g., Celebrex, Tylenol Arthritis Formula) sometimes do more harm than good, often causing liver and kidney problems. The Lordex System is not only safe and effective, says Dr.
Therkelsen, but painless, which is important to most patients.
