This episode of Back at It with Dr. Decompression addresses the common question, "How do I know I'm getting better?" Dr. JD Dudum breaks down the three key signs of healing for those dealing with disc herniations, sciatica, and nerve pain: Centralization of Pain: Pain moves closer to the center of the body, becomes less intense, and/or occurs less frequently. Improved Function: Patients regain the ability to perform daily activities they struggled with, such as walking, shaving, or getting out of bed without significant discomfort. Decreased Medication Use: Patients require less medication or none at all to manage their symptoms, indicating progress in their healing process. Dr. Dudum provides real-life examples from his clinic to illustrate these signs, helping patients understand what true progress looks like during treatment.
