SPINAL DISC HERNIATION 

Normal situation and spinal disc herniation in cervical vertebrae. 







The majority of herniated discs with help of hirudotherapy will heal themselves in about 3-5 weeks and do not require surgery.
Anti-inflammatory treatments for pain, associated with disc herniation, protrusion, bulge, or disc tear,
are going to be influenced during a hirudotherapy session with SGS' (Salivary Glands Secretion) anti-inflammatory agents such as Bdelins, Eglinsand others from leeches' saliva. (read about agents under "Hirudossubstanses"). 

After an intensive hirudotherapy treatment our clients showed major improvement without surgery.
No pain killers, no side effect and secondary problems will occur since you will not use neither anti-inflammatory medications, nor injections, as we observe it in general medical practice.
  
“An alternative often employed is the injection of cortisone into the spine adjacent to the suspected pain generator, a technique known as “epidural steroid injection”. Epidural steroid injections "may result in some improvement in radicular lumbosacral pain when assessed between 2 and 6 weeks following the injection, compared to control treatments. In certain settings, however, these injections may result in serious complications. There are a variety of other non-surgical methods used in attempts to relieve the condition after it has occurred, 
often in combination with pain killers. “  (from Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia)

Please also remember that spinal manipulation is contraindicated! 

 “According to the WHO (World Health Organization), in their guidelines on chiropractic practice, a frank disc herniation accompanied by progressive neurological deficits is a contraindication for manipulation. 
Non-surgical spinal decompression: 
 A 2007 review of published research on this treatment method found shortcomings in most published studies and concluded that there was only "very limited evidence in the scientific literature to support the effectiveness of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. Its use and marketing have been very controversial.”  (from Wikipedia)

   
REMEMBER that with Hirudotherapy there is:
 NO PAIN-KILLERS, NO CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATIONS, NO SIDE EFFECTS!
