Attention: Health Editors and Lifestyle Editors

Canadians suffering from chronic and severe neck and back pain now have access to the top spinal care available. Spinal heath expert, Dr. Ron Nusbaum, has launched Back Clinics of Canada, a state-of-the-art facility that focuses on educating patients on the importance of spinal health and offering cutting-edge care that can bring an end to back pain.

"Just as good dental health protects our bodies from disease, good spinal health protects our bodies from progressive injury and chronic pain," says Dr. Ron Nusbaum, director and founder of Back Clinics of Canada, who brings more than 20 years of spinal health experience to his patients. "Back Clinics of Canada is dedicated to providing Canadians access to the best spinal health care currently available anywhere in the world."

Low back pain is one of the most commonly occurring chronic conditions in Canada. Four out of five Canadians will experience back or neck pain at some point between the ages of 30-50.

Back pain accounts for more sick leave and work disability than any other single medical condition and is the second-most commonly reported reason for visiting a doctor, after the common cold. It is the fifth most common cause of admission to hospital and the third most common indication for surgery. Back pain is also frequently cited as a cause of early retirement for medical reasons.

In an effort to combat this chronic condition and help patients return to an active, healthy life, Back Clinics of Canada specializes in Spinal Decompression therapy, a comfortable and effective non-invasive, drug-free treatment that targets the root causes of chronic back pain.

Spinal Decompression therapy creates a unique and highly specific force that relieves pressure on damaged discs, allowing oxygen, nutrients and water back into the discs, and restoring and rejuvenating discs towards a normal height, facilitating disc repair.

"Integrating Spinal Decompression treatment into patient care programs has allowed us to achieve an unprecedented level of success in pain treatment, which allows our patients to begin living their pain-free life and doing the things they love to do.

"And Canadians are seeking out this treatment after having tried any number of traditional treatments, including surgery, without success."

Back Clinics of Canada uses the latest, most accurate and advanced technology currently available (the DRX9000) to treat severe and chronic back and neck pain caused by herniated discs, bulging or protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, stenosis, spinal arthritis, sciatica, and posterior facet syndrome.

"The goal of Spinal Decompression is to restore your spine to its natural healthy state. From there flows pain relief and a renewed health, as stress and compression to discs and nerves are alleviated, allowing the damaged tissue to properly heal."
