ATLANTA.- North American Medical Corporation has annonounced the selection of Dr. Paterno S. Jurani a noted family physician from Las Vegas to an elite group of worldwide specialist for the relief of chronic low back pain with NO surgery. Under the care and direction of Dr. Jurani, the ALTERNATIVE BACK TREATMENT CENTER, LLC, will now be able to help patients suffering from herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and other low back conditions by treating them with the revolutionary, non-invasive IDD Therapy.

The IDD System is a revolutionary, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure. Developed after many years of research and clinical test, the IDD (Intervertebral Disc Decompression) system has treated over 5,000 patients and has produced an incredible 86% success rate for patients with disc problems and truly remarkable results for other lower back conditions.

The IDD Therapy is a quantum leap forward in biotechnology that relieves low back conditions without surgery-specifically, herniated ("slipped") discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and sciatica in the vast majority of cases. Hundreds of doctors can attest to the benefits thousands of patients have received as a result of the revolutionary IDD process.

Explaining the revolutionary system, Dr. Jurani discloses "When the system is turned on, the patient will experience a firm, but steady pulling from the lower extremities. This action allows movement of the targeted (diseased) vertebrae 3 to 5 millimeters. Because of the negative hydrostatic pressure created in the


disc, the diseased disc draws in surrounding fluid and nutrients allowing rehydratation of the disc. Additionally, the herniated disc is also drawn back into the disc space allowing the ligaments around the disc to heal. During the treatment the patient will not experience any pain or discomfort, most of the patients will sleep or listen to their favorite music"
We're proud to be the first and only facility in the state of Nevada to have the unique opportunity to relieve low back pain with the IDD machine." said Dr. Jurani. "Patients who thought they would never be pain free are now living healthy, active lives. This decompression treatment is truly a wonder".
