Disc REGENERATION after decompression
28/07/17
Dr Ilan Sommer DC (USA): (Research Pearls):
For years doctors looked at disc degeneration as a result of aging, trauma, wear and tear etc. The following research talks about disc REGENERATION after decompression. What a great study that validate what we do in the clinic!!!
