Trauma Nurse Finds Natural Solution to Severe Back Pain

By Ellie White-Stevens

back pain, idd patient This is the tale of two trauma nurses. They both work 12 hour shifts in the ER at Grady Hospital, handling gun shot wounds, heart attacks, stabbings: 350-400 patients a day coming through. Countless times a day they bend and twist, lifting and moving patients.

The first trauma nurse dealt with her severe back pain the medical way. She regularly received epidurals and popped Vicodin. When the pain got to be too much to take, she had surgery to remove her bulging disc and place metal plates in her back.

Our second trauma nurse, Dennis Guice, 51, also damaged his back during the usual wear and tear of trauma nursing. He remembers the moment when one of his discs herniated. "I was lifting a big person from a gurney to a stretcher. He was on one of those plastic back boards," says Dennis. He remembers twisting and feeling something tear. Soon, he had numbness and pain from his right hip down his sciatic nerve, causing him to walk with a limp. He lost the range of motion to be able to bend down and tie his right shoe.

Dennis is a logical thinker. Before becoming a nurse just a few years ago, he had been an electrical engineer. When his job was outsourced to India, he got a Bachelor's in Nursing and his RN. With several other trauma certifications, he began working in the ER.

When he injured his back, he began to check out his options. As a very health conscious person, Dennis shops organic, free range and natural as much as possible. That's the kind of option he wanted for treating his back pain. When he began to do online searches, IDD popped up as a possible solution.

IDD is a non-invasive medical procedure that has an 86% success rate in treating herniated, bulging, degenerated discs, sciatica, and low back pain. In Dennis' research, only three doctors in the metro Atlanta area had the IDD Therapy® available. One was on the Northside, another downtown offered a very medical solution with the shots and pills added. And then their was Allied Healthcare in Fayetteville. At Allied Healthcare, Dr. John Thomas offered a comprehensive solution. His method includes hot packs, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulus and the Accu-SPINA™ with IDD Therapy®.

According to Dr. Thomas, IDD is a proven medically advanced, non-surgical solution for lower back pain. "This is one of the most sophisticated approaches I have found to safely, comfortably and non-surgically treat the cause of back pain due conditions like bulging and herniated discs, sciatica, post-surgical failures and degenerative arthritis." says Dr. Thomas. "The reported results are impressive and show that 86% of this group of people may be given relief of their pain; requiring less medication (and therefore less side effects), and permitting them to enjoy normal life activities again."

"Also, what impressed me most about this Accu-SPINA™ and IDD Therapy® protocols were the MRI images that showed that the treatment may actually re-hydrate the discs. I am not aware of any other therapy - whether physical therapy, chiropractic, invasive injections, or surgery - that provides such a high success rate and at the same time is nonsurgical," adds Dr. Thomas.

Dennis Guice has finished about half of his treatment regimen with Dr. Thomas. He's seeing improvement in his range of motion and pain. He can tie his shoes again, and he's able to do all of his normal activities, including working a full schedule and teaching Christian Karate to kids every Thursday.
