Hello, I'm Dr. George Kukurin and I am licensed to practice acupuncture by
the state of Arizona. I am also licensed as a chiropractic physician. I have
been studying and practicing alternative medicine techniques for over 20 years.
I have a keen interest in conditions of the nervous system.
I am a former faculty member of the Post Graduate
Neurology Department of Parker College and one of a select few Arizona
chiropractic physicians who are also
Diplomats of the American Chiropractic Academy of
Neurology I have treated
thousands of patients suffering from all types of conditions of the nervous
system. I have post-graduate education from the
Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic. I have even traveled to Russian to learn laser acupuncture
and to Mexico to study nerve regeneration treatments and techniques.
Because of my years of experience and education in many different
systems of
alternative medicine, my patients have obtained some notable results. These
results have even been published in
medical journals and journals
indexed in the National Library of Medicine,
they have been featured on local Fox
and ABC newscasts and I have also presented them to other doctors at
conferences at Johns Hopkins Medical School
in Baltimore. Having all this
additional training and education is extremely helpful in evaluating
patients and determining those I feel will benefit from a trial of
the methods I use and also for determining which patients I feel would likely benefit from other forms of treatment.
I have written a number of
books
detailing my methods including a book on treating nerve problems like neuropathy.
The protocols and methods I developed over the years have helped so many
people. I hope that you'll take a minute to inquire how they might
help you.
I also strongly believe that the health benefits of my methods
should be affordable to those folks who really need them. Luckily most insurance plans are covering at least a portion of
the techniques we employ. That is why I am proud to be a preferred provider with Blue
Cross, Aetna, Cigna, United, Medicare and most other insurance plans. So

Of
course anyone who faces the prospective of spinal surgery would like to find an
effective method to avoid back surgery. Even with the advances in modern
surgical techniques, surgery and in particular spinal surgery can be risky
business. The truth of the matter is, even a good surgeon will tell you, "if you
can find a non-surgical approach to relieve your back pain ~ Do it!"
Thankfully new techniques, collectively called spinal decompression
therapy, are some of the most promising emerging methods for long
term non-surgical back and leg pain relief.
A word of caution to you if you are considering spinal
decompression therapy for your back or leg pain. Some doctors have paid
upwards of $100,000 for their decompression equipment. It's only human
nature that if you spend $100K on a hammer, everything starts to look like a
nail!
Make sure
you know all of your options before you decide.
The goal of surgical as well as non- surgical back pain treatment is to take
pressure off sore and inflamed nerves. Surgical spinal nerve decompression
requires cutting the tissue away from and decompressing the nerves exiting the
spine. You can download our free eBook which discusses the various surgical
options for spinal decompression. Click here. There are also a number of methods of
non-surgical spinal nerve decompression . All of these non-surgical methods work by
elongating the spine. When you elongate the spine you can move tissues
(that are compressing the spinal nerves) away from these sensitive pain
producing structures.
So of course you want to avoid resorting to surgery to relieve the pressure on
these spinal nerves, but what is the best non- surgical approach?
The very first choice is to start with an exercise program designed to
specifically decompress spinal nerves. We have an eBook which explains the best exercises
for spinal decompression. You can download it for free and keep it. You'll need
these valuable exercises no matter which method of decompression you choose:
be it surgical or non-surgical spinal decompression.

The next thing you need to consider is what type of supportive therapy you'll
receive as part of your decompression treatment. The fact of the matter is that
you want to decompress the spinal nerves, but you also want to have additional
therapies that promote the regeneration of the nerves that have already been
damaged from the pressure upon them. Low level laser therapy and
acupuncture are two excellent treatments to include along with your spinal
decompression treatments. Try to find a decompression center that can
offer you acupuncture and laser at the same time you are receiving the actual
spinal decompression treatment. In this way you can have your pinched nerves
decompressed while at the same time use therapies known to promote repair and
regeneration of those parts of the nerves that are already damaged. This combined
approach offers you your best chance for the most complete recovery possible.
There are even nutrients that you can take that will accelerate the healing
process in the nerves that have been injured and damaged due to prolonged
compression and pressure. A comprehensive spinal decompression center
will offer these nutrients to you as part of a complete package of spinal nerve
decompression and repair.
Just like there are many surgical procedures used to decompressed pinched
spinal nerves, there are also a number of different techniques available for
non-surgical decompression of these nerves. The important point to remember is
that every procedure, both surgical and non-surgical, seeks to take
pressure off nerves that have been damaged by compression. So which spinal decom-pression procedure is the best to use to help you?
Let's look at your options.
There are many big impressive looking decompression
units available to treat back pain like the one pictured at the top of the
page. These are very expensive machines and are considered experimental by
most insurance plans. Therefore most insurance plans will not cover the
cost of treatment with these devices. Because of this, you will have to pay
for this treatment out of your own pocket.
Furthermore there are few, if any, head-to-head
scientific studies that show these devices to be more effective than
other decompression techniques that are covered by insurance.
As we have previously mentioned combining acupuncture, laser, and specific nutrients known to
promote nerve regeneration and healing, can produce some remarkable results.
Most patients can avoid surgery with a comprehensive spinal decompression
program that includes specific decompression exercises for home maintenance.
In fact these spinal decompression procedures are often effective even after
surgery has failed. So it makes sense to consider a comprehensive
program before you consider surgery.
In our offices, we favor flexion distraction decompression techniques, as
well as the Vertetrac
® ambulatory decompression belt. We use
laser and
various forms of
acupuncture therapy as well as providing specific nutrients
that help the nerves already damaged to regenerate. Most insurance plans
will cover at least a portion of the costs of the decompression techniques
we utilize. We have many tools available to us to treat your back and leg pain.
We can create a decompression plan that i
s specifically
designed for you. We don't treat every patient like a nail because the only
tool we have is a hammer. That's an important distinction to
consider when looking for decompression therapy for your back and leg pain.
The Vertetrac® Ambulatory Decom-pression
Belt (above left) is different from all other types of spinal decompression
devices. It allows patients to exercise while undergoing
decompression. Especially for patients suffering from spinal stenosis this
is an important feature. Most patients with spinal stenosis have increased
pain associated with walking. The Vertetrac® device has been shown to
improve walking ability in spinal stenosis patients. The Back Bubble® (seen
above right) is a relatively inexpensive decompression device based on the
Auto-Traction concept developed in Sweden. It can be purchased for home use.
All of these techniques share a common principal, they elongate the spine
and take pressure off the damaged nerve so that these nerves can heal.
