Has your chronic back pain made life difficult, unbearable even?
Have you had failed back surgery?
Are you suffering from stenosis, bulging or herniated discs?
Have doctors and specialists offered you pain management techniques that don’t really address the problem?
You are not alone. Nearly 38% of the world’s population suffer from debilitating back pain. And even more unfortunate, the surgeries recommended to fix you have such a high failure rate that there is a medical term for it, Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). FBSS comes with a whole host of symptoms that often make life more difficult than it was before you opted to have surgery and include persistent pain that can affect not only the back, but the neck and limbs as well.
Not all hope is lost however. We specialize in treating back pain. Whether it’s from a disorder, repeated injury, osteoarthritis, or something more complex like FBSS, we are helping their patients live lives free from pain!
“For our 45th anniversary our children gifted us an Alaskan cruise,” shared Max G. of Longs, SC. “ We were over the moon to say the least! But while the excitement of exploring the Tundra Wilderness was almost too much to bear, so was my back pain. I’ve had two failed surgeries and my surgeon keeps pushing for another. One of those fool-me-once situations, but I also didn’t want to spend 10 days in a cramped cruise room miserable and taking pain pills.”
Dr. Weber explains, “our patients are typically individuals who have been told they should have surgery but would either have a difficult time going under the knife or have tried that route with little success and decided to explore other options. There is more to healthcare than prescription pills and scalpels. By offering several integrative therapies we are able to combat and treat your pain from several angles ensuring the possible outcome.”
We have pioneered non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical innovative medical solutions that not only address the back pain itself, but its cause as well.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. To expedite this process, we integrate a targeted microcurrent therapy called ATP Resonance BioTherapy™. This technology was originally developed by NASA to expedite healing and recovery. In especially complicated conditions they will also utilize O3 Regenerative Therapy™, a proprietary technique that makes use of ozone therapy. Ozone therapy has been used since the 1800’s and was actually a popular tool for Doctors during the first world war because of its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. We use it today to combat inflammation and in a majority of cases, offer our patients a more permanent solution.
“If you would’ve asked me 3 months ago if I thought I would feel this good after a few acupuncture treatments, I would’ve told you, you’re nuts! But I’m a believer! My wife and I are currently booking excursions for the cruise and I’m actually looking forward to it. Before I would’ve been hesitant to even schedule something like dog sledding knowing my pain was through the roof, but now I can’t wait! Obviously I have my kids to thank for this trip but I can’t help but take my hat to the team at AIM because those ladies are the reason I’m going to truly enjoy this trip.”
