Abstract

Chronic back and neck pain has become a major public health concern worldwide, affecting millions across all age groups and professions. With the rise of sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and prolonged screen exposure, spinal disorders have seen a significant surge, particularly among working professionals and older adults. Traditional treatments, such as surgery and long-term medication, often carry substantial risks and side effects. This article explores the causes, symptoms, and diagnostic methods of chronic spinal pain, and highlights Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment (NSSDT) as an innovative, evidence-based treatment approach. Introduced to India by Mr. Dinesh Dalvi in collaboration with Dr. Joseph Cammarata (USA), NSSDT offers a promising, non-invasive solution. The article also discusses complementary physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and electric muscle stimulation, along with patient success stories and the impact of ANSSI Wellness, a leader in non-surgical spinal decompression in India.
