Dr. Eric Mintz

If you were unable to get out of bed this morning due to back pain, you are not alone. 6.5 million people on any given day are in the same situation. Dr. Eric Mintz, DC at Detroit Institute for Spinal Care is working to prevent that number from growing. .

Do you have back pain that doesn't go away? Although most back pain will improve within four months, in between 5 and 10% of cases, it persists. You may have tried physical therapy and you may be contemplating surgery. However, the statistics are grim. Of the 500,000 spine surgeries performed in the US this year, only 20% are successful long term. Dr. Mintz in West Bloomfield, MI offers a nonsurgical alternative which has worked for many patients.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a safe, effective, FDA-cleared treatment for those suffering from back pain. It is different from some other therapies because it targets some of the conditions which underlie back pain. Your spinal cord, which contains nerves that help you to move and feel, is protected as it runs through your vertebral column. However, some conditions such as spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, may lead to compression of the spinal cord. This may be intensely painful and is disabling to many patients. Dr. Eric Mintz uses state of the art technology to relieve this compression, offering relief to many patients.

With his clinical experience and attention to the latest advances in research, Dr. Eric Mintz offers his patients optimum care. In addition, he places emphasis on lifestyle changes and preventative care, working to ensure that the pain relief lasts.

Conditions treated include:

- Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Disk Disease
- Disk Herniation
- Sciatia
- Pinched Nerve
- Disk bulges

Dr. Mintz graduated from the Life Chiropractic College and is affiliated with Michigan State University. He is certified by the National Board of Chiropractic. He is also trained in spinal cord decompression with the DRX 9000.
