Profile of a Successful Patient
Med-X rehabilitation program is appropriate for patients who have recurrent back and neck pain or those who are still experiencing pain 8 to 10 weeks after an injury. Patients with degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, stenosis, non-specific back pain, sciatic pain, and low grade spondylolysthesis (grade 1 or 2) have had positive results with this program.
Cervical patients treated include non-surgical, post-surgery, non-specific neck pain, whiplash syndrome, degenerative disc disease, and patients with sciatic pain into the arms. Some of the patients have cervical pain that manifests itself in continuous headaches and some of the patients treated have TMJ. In most cases, the patients treated at the Med-X Clinic of Northern Colorado \ Wyoming have had chronic spine problems for several months to many years.
Many of these patients have not had surgery, and in some cases surgery is being considered if treatment is not successful. In many of the cases being considered for surgery, the patients are able to successfully avoid surgery after completing the 12 weeks of rehabilitation. For those who still require surgical intervention, a specialized rehabilitation program for post-surgery patients is available at many clinics.
