Herniated Disc

I have herniated disc at C 5 and C 6 both with stenosis. Will having a massage including the neck area be harmfull?

I believe it matters on the type of massage you request. Different massages utilize different amounts of pressure and rubbing techniques. It would probably be a good idea to discuss what type of massage would be beneficial with your physician since it seems you have been diagnosed with a Herniated Disc.

I went in for an MRI this morning for a possible Herniated Disc. I’ve also researched possible treatments whether be surgical or non surgical. If anyone has some suggestions, advise or even a couple words maybe youve had it before maybe your a doctor please tell me how i can go about making a treatment decision

well depending on where the disc is herniated at, i can give you a few options. i personally have had L3,L4,L5, and S1 and i am 29 years old. my doctor didn’t want to do surgery on me because he didn’t want to do another surgery on me for 10 years down the road. i can personally tell you i have had numerous cortisone shots, nerve blocks, and have been so high on pain management drugs i couldn’t focus straight. before i had my surgery i could barley move and walking up steps was horrible and had me in tears. i had L4 -S1 discs removed and some space freed up, it was the best thing i could have ever done. i wake up pain free every morning, and love every minute of it. i no longer take narcotics for pain or even inflammatory’s. good luck with your treatments and i hope i have helped you out.

Dr. Nelson Mane a board certified Chiropractic orthopedic and neurologist who has seen over 10,000 patients in Tampa Bay is getting extraordinary results with space age technology and individualized treatment programs.  “We are seeing the worst of the worst” says Dr. Nelson Mane.  After a detailed history and examination many times lasting 1-2 hours a specific protocol for the individual patient is determined.  “All our patients are different some are young, old, multiple disc herniations or degenerative disc.  Some have stenosis or facet hypertrophy.  Some have hip and knee replacements or multiple back surgeries.  Some can’t have surgery due to heart conditions or other health issues.”  Dr. Mane stated.  After the history and exam a computerized Kinetic Chain Evaluation and a Functional Neurologic Exam is performed to see if a Balance Disorder could be contributing to the patient’s condition.  This many times is the key to chronic Back Pain.  Once the key issues are identified a program is designed which may include True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, High Power Laser Therapy, Manipulations under anesthesia, Proprioceptive and Vestibular Re-Education as well as traditional physical Therapies.  All our programs are non-invasive and with out medication.  Several patients have even gotten off morphine and methadone.

My name is Charlie R. and I was a patient of Dr. Mane’s. My back was a mess. For the longest time I did not know what to do for my back. I could no longer exercise. I could not even lift my three year old daughter. I could not swing a golf club and experienced excruciating pain at work. I refused to have any type of surgical procedure at my age due to the possibility that I could end up crippled for the rest of my life. I knew there had to be something else. Then my parents told me about Mr. Paul H. and his success with the DRX9000 and laser treatment. I was initially very skeptical but decided to have a consult with Dr. Mane. This consult was most thorough and Dr. Mane was able to pinpoint my specific back problem with incredible skill and detail. Once I decided to complete the DRX9000 and laser treatment, I had no more pain within a couple weeks. I became a believer and was anxious to see how much better I would feel after the final treatments. Every treatment made me feel better than the previous one. After all Dr. Mane’s staff were tremendous and very caring. I now have great freedom which I have not experienced in at least 10 years. My mother Norma R. also went through this treatment the same time that I did and I’m excited that she is without the pain that she has had to live with most of her life. The DRX9000 and laser treatments are a gift from above. I want to thank you Dr. Mane and all your staff who made me laugh and feel like I was at home every day. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
