Herniated Disk: Anyone have luck with decompression therapy?

[Kiva]

Never heard of it....however, from what i've read, studies where doctors are shown x-rays and asked to pick out which patient is in pain and which is not....they can't pick it out better than random chance. Basically: somebody can have a messed up back via x-ray or MRI, but that doesn't mean they're in pain...

i say if there is ample evidence, go for it. That, and look into acupuncture for pain management and look up that Dr. Sarno guy on amazon..
