After spending more than a quarter-century as a Board-Certified Chiropractic Orthopedist, Dr. Joseph Costello knows all too well that a great many of us suffer from back pain.
“According to numerous studies, an estimated 80 percent of all adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives,” Costello says. “More than $14 billion is spent annually on treating conditions related to back and spine pain.”
Unfortunately — and, as it turns out, unnecessarily — a vast majority of those dollars are spent by patients trying to cure their back ailments in the operating room.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, spinal surgery is only truly indicated for patients suffering from specific conditions: instability in the spine, lack of bowel and/or bladder control related to a spinal condition, or progressive neurological deterioration related to a spinal condition.
Unless a patient is afflicted by one of these conditions, he or she should exhaust “all conservative measures of treatment” before opting for back surgery. What’s more — and this is not surprising to Dr. Costello — the “failure rate” for the most commonplace forms of spinal surgery is 70 percent or higher.
“This means that most people’s back pain is not alleviated by spinal surgery,” Dr. Costello explains.
Indeed, many of the patients that Dr. Costello treats at his revolutionary practice, Concierge Laser Medicine, Inc. come to him after having undergone unsuccessful spinal surgery.
“I just wish people who are in back pain would come to us before undergoing unnecessary surgery,” says Dr. Costello.
The painless, affordable, wholly non-invasive techniques utilized at Concierge Laser Medicine, Inc. Micro-pulsed Therapeutic Laser have proven remarkably successful at alleviating all kinds of pain — including neck, spine and back pain.
Dr. Costello’s unique treatment – “high-intensity laser-light therapy,” which features micro-pulsed therapeutic lasers.
“These lasers are classified as an ‘actinotherapy’,” explains Dr. Costello. “That means they produce positive changes in the body’s chemical and metabolic systems.”
For patients, this means:
• Regeneration of nerves
• Regeneration of articular cartilage
• Healing of discs
• Reduction of inflammation
• Analgesic pain relief
