Episode 113 - 4 Biggest Myths About Decompression - DEBUNKED
Has a doctor ever told you spinal decompression doesn't work, won't last or could make your pain worse? In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum explains why many of those doctors are right. Most decompression isn't done properly.
Drawing on more than 53,000 decompression treatments, Dr. Dudum breaks down the four biggest objections and covers why flexion-extension films that rule out spinal instability matter before treatment starts.
You'll also hear the story of Robert. He was told he needed a cervical fusion, but his peer-reviewed case showed a 52% reduction of his disc extrusion on MRI 13 months later. He's now pain-free and never had surgery. Dr. Dudum shares the proven visit-by-visit plan, pre- and post-treatment MRIs from his three published research papers, and the 3-, 12- and 18-month follow-up imaging that tracks results over time. If you're dealing with a herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or neck pain and want to avoid surgery, comment "HELP" and his team will point you to the right provider.

Episode 112 - Will It Heal - Can A Herniated Disc Heal Without Surgery?
Can a herniated disc heal on its own—and what does waiting really mean for your daily life? In Episode 112 of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum explains spontaneous disc reduction, the differences between bulges, herniations, and extrusions, and why recovery can look different from person to person.
JD also discusses a published patient case reporting a 30% reduction in herniation index following 18 days of spinal decompression treatment. He breaks down MRI terminology, explains how disc location and migration inform treatment planning, and shares three common assumptions to reconsider when managing a disc injury.

Episode 111 - Your MRI Reveals The Plan - Disc Bulge vs Herniation vs Extrusion
Two Patients. Two MRI reports. Two completely different problems — so why would they get handed the exact same treatment plan?
In this episode, Dr. JD Dudum breaks down what your report is actually telling you: the real difference between a disc bulge, herniation, protrusion, and extrusion, and why that difference changes everything about how you should treat it. You'll hear real patient stories along the way — like Jeff, whose 12mm protrusion reduced 46%, and Dan, whose massive 1.8cm extrusion shrank 78%, both without surgery. If you've got a report in your hands and you're not sure what the words on it actually mean for your pain, start here.
