The bones of the spine are supported by discs that act as shock absorbers for the body. A herniated or slipped disc occurs when one of these discs is pushed into the spinal cord. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, pain, weakness, and loss of bowel control.
The medical approach includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, which cause cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems, injections directly into your spine, or antidepressants. All of these treatments cover up the pain and do not deal with fixing the disc and the spine.
The Maximized Living approach does not cover up the symptom but actually finds and treats the cause of the problem using state of the art scanning technology to determine the state of your Nervous system. Maximizing your nerve supply to your body, using a structural correction protocol, is essential so the brain can begin the healing process. This is combined with customized nutrition, detoxification and moving your body in the proper way to help facilitate a speedy recovery.
