Jennifer Grey Spine Surgery
All Jennifer Grey DWTS dance videos here!
Thanks to Dancing With the Stars' requirement that contestants be healthy (at least when they start the show), Jennifer Grey still has many more times-of-her-life to be had.

Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression offers hope where to those who suffer from acute pain or chronic back or neck pain caused by a bulging disc, herniated disc or disc degeneration,that could not be treated using traditional methods such as medication, physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture.
The spinal decompression procedure is an advanced form of traction therapy that is commonly used in many centers of Chiropractic and Physiotherapy. However, spinal decompression is more precise: it allows to isolate a disc in particular, which is damaged, and apply a controlled traction force to this level only. It is precise and painless. The treatment was applied three to five days a week for four or five weeks, for a total of 20 to 25 visits.
Spinal decompression creates a negative pressure inside the disc, which sucks the herniated inside and reduces the bulging disc. The disc is re-hydrated and absorbs the nutrients it needs to regenerate due to the decrease in pressure. During treatment, patients can listen to music, watch a DVD, or even sleep. Spinal decompression is a safe, non-surgical treatment.

Spine surgery
In order to treat back pain, you have several options. One of them is spine surgery. Although rarely the first choice to treat back pain, spine surgery may be necessary after other back treatments have failed or in some emergency cases. Because spine surgery is a complex operation, surgeons will advise three to six months of conservative back pain treatment before getting to spine surgery. There are 3 different procedures:
Discectomy
Herniated discs are most likely treated with this spine surgery procedure. The surgeon will remove a portion of the damaged discs; pressure on the pinched nerves will then be relieved. The herniated discs might be removed completely in some cases, depending on the severity of the damage.
Foramenotomy
A foramenotomy is pretty much the same type of spine surgery than the discectomy (relieving pressure on the pinched nerves that create back pain by altering disc) but it will also remove a fragment of bone and/or other tissue in the spinal column.
Laminectomy
A laminectomy will relieve pressure on the actual spinal cord. This type of spine surgery is mainly performed to treat spondylolisthesis and/or the most common spinal stenosis. This type of spine surgery may be performed with a spinal fusion that will secure stability.
Discectomy
Herniated discs are most likely treated with this spine surgery procedure. The surgeon will remove a portion of the damaged discs; pressure on the pinched nerves will then be relieved. The herniated discs might be removed completely in some cases, depending on the severity of the damage.
