Elena had tried it all—chiropractic, PT, acupuncture, massage, even four spinal injections—yet after a year and a half of debilitating sciatica, nothing brought lasting relief. In this episode, Dr. JD Dudum shares how Elena went from sleepless nights and daily pain to 80% better in just six weeks using his signature Disc Renewal Program. He breaks down the exact spinal levels causing her nerve pain, why traditional methods failed, and how angle-specific decompression therapy combined with an understanding of spinal instability and facet arthritis changed her treatment plan completely. You’ll also learn how oscillation cycles and cold laser therapy reduced inflammation, and why Power Plate therapy was critical in retraining movement and preventing flare-ups. This isn’t just a story of pain relief—it’s a story of a woman reclaiming her sleep, her mobility, and her quality of life without surgery.
