Our Approach is Different...
We Treat the Source
of Your Symptoms

Our NDR Method® (Non-Surgical Disc Restoration) utilizes advanced technology and therapies to target the failed mechanisms that have allowed your spinal disc(s) to bulge, herniate, or degenerate.
Our goal is to give your "bad discs" what they need to heal and repair by activating your discs’ built-in mechanisms for healing and self-repair. This, in turn, has the ability to correct and/or improve your bad discs, thus, allowing you to improve or eliminate your symptoms, improve your quality of life, and avoid a spinal surgery.

Treat the root cause of degenerative disc disease-Select Health of the Carolinas

When a physician diagnoses you with a bulging disc, herniated disc, degenerative disc, sciatica, or stenosis, it is like saying a lamp which is unplugged has “degenerative light bulb disease” and telling you that the problem is the light bulb. The lamp hasn’t been plugged into an outlet; therefore, the real problem is that it needs its power source. If you were to continue to change the light bulb, instead of giving it the power it needs to work, then you are only treating the condition (light bulb) instead of fixing the problem (no power).

 

 

How does this compare to your spinal discs? Suppose a doctor or surgeon says your degenerative disc disease, sciatica, or bulging disc is the problem. You need medications, physical therapy, epidurals, or surgery (discectomy, laminectomy, or fusion) to “fix” it. In that case, they are only treating the symptoms or conditions instead of the problem. Your symptoms & conditions are caused by a fundamental problem that has not been addressed. Until a physician focuses on the source of the real problem, you will not be able to find satisfying, lasting results. Seize the opportunity to choose between treating the pain your condition is causing or treating the problem that caused your condition in the first place.

 

It may be possible for you to naturally heal your spinal discs, feel better and avoid neck or back surgery with our NDR Method® Treatment Program. Our program is designed for your sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, bulging discs and/or ruptured discs.

 

Treatment at Select Health of the Carolinas employs an innovative and comprehensive disc-focused treatment. This is a non-surgical process that is designed to promote and support the simple biological fact that discs are comprised of living tissue, which has the ability to repair.

 

 

Choose Select Health of the Carolinas to address and, in most cases, fix the underlying issues causing your symptoms.

and ...Real Results

Your Spinal Disc has a Built-In Mechanism for "Self Repair"

The NDR Method® was Designed to:
•Help Your Body Heal Naturally

Our NDR Method® is an non-invasive, non-surgical process that gives you the chance to avoid invasive procedures like surgery or epidural injections that are not treating the underlying problem.

A person’s spinal disc is living tissue that has a significant mechanism for natural healing and this is a proven physiological fact.

 

It is this mechanism that our treatments were designed to tap into with our advanced technologies. We offer a patient-specific, individualized process, using only FDA-Cleared medical technology, which was designed to give the spinal disc what it needs to heal.

 

In order to help you avoid surgery for these spinal conditions, our main goal is to jump-start the spinal disc’s natural healing process. The two main components are believed to promote this natural healing are:

 

1. Improved blood flow

2. Improved oxygen/nutrient exchange

Common Treatments Methods &
Why They Often Fail

muscle and tendon pain and injuries

Are you not satisfied with the progress you’re making through physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, non-surgical spinal decompression, or other physical treatment? Our treatment may correct the problem and get you out of pain and back to your life.


If you’re like many chronic or severe back or neck pain sufferers, you may have decided to seek treatment with an orthopedist, physical therapist, or chiropractor. While medications, exercises, stretching, and spinal manipulations could give you some relief and also give you back some mobility, it is often not enough for chronic conditions, like herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, or sciatica.


Our non-surgical treatment utilizes revolutionary FDA-cleared technology and is non-invasive, drug-free, and relatively painless. It is clinically proven to have excellent success in eliminating back, neck, and sciatica pain, even in severe cases.

Treating a structural problem like back pain, neck pain, or sciatica solely with pain killers, epidural shots, or heat/ice pack is like trying to fix a car that has a bad engine with a new paint job. It may help cover the problem, but it doesn’t fix the problem of a herniated disc, degenerative disc, sciatica, or spinal stenosis.


As you probably already know, if you forget to take your pain killers, push your shot off too long, or don’t have time to sit on a heating pad…you’re in pain again. Not to mention the potentially dangerous side effects of some dangerous and addictive prescription pain killers. There may be a way to get rid of your back or neck condition with our NDR Method.


Our non-surgical treatment utilizes revolutionary FDA-cleared technology and is non-invasive, drug-free, and relatively painless. The method has been clinically-proven to have excellent success in eliminating back, neck, and sciatica pain, even in severe cases.

No one wants to go under the knife, but far too often, patients are told that this is their best and only option left for treating severe back or neck conditions, such as a herniated disc, degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, or sciatica.


Living with back or neck pain doesn’t need to be one of your options. Settling for surgery, which in many cases has less than a 50% chance of even working, and quite often, a long recovery time, doesn’t have to be your option either.


Now there could be a way to get rid of your back or neck condition(s) without surgery. Our non-surgical treatment utilizes revolutionary FDA-cleared technology and is non-invasive, drug-free, and relatively painless. The method has been clinically proven to have excellent success in eliminating back, neck, and sciatica pain, even in severe cases.

If you are like many chronic or severe back or neck pain sufferers, you may have accepted pain as a way of life. You probably know plenty of other people just like you with back or neck problems so you may just think your pain is normal, but it’s not.

 

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:

•Do you find yourself doing less than you used to do?

•Are you holding back from activities you once enjoyed to avoid pain?

•Do you head to your medicine cabinet to deal with painful flare-ups?

 

If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of these, because of your herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, bulging disc or sciatica, you’re not alone…but, it may not have to be this way for you.

Sciatica, spinal stenosis, bulging disc, herniated disc, or degenerative discs are all conditions caused by an underlying problem…perhaps this problem has not been presented to you by other providers. As a result, it is possible that this underlying problem has not been addressed with prior treatments. 

 

Most options providers recommend (medicines, physical therapy, epidural injections, non-surgical spinal decompression, chiropractic, surgery, etc.) don’t focus on the underlying problem. Therefore, patients end up re-visiting their symptoms over and over again. 


Right Now, All You Know are Your Symptoms and Condition (Diagnosis).

 

You are Not Alone.
