Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy « Thread Started on Sept 26, 2007, 2:10pm »
I just came across an ad I have not seen before from a chiropractor selling a "new revolutionary technology" known as "Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy". Apparently this is being sold using a new device, ( I have not seen the machine yet) that is a "breakthrough in treatment of spinal pain". I cannot tell from the ad, but it sounds allot like a decompression machine a la VAX-D. The claims include ..."SRT repairs the disc's structure"...and it ..."removes the pressure {which }not only allows the disc's to reposition themselves, but also to become pain free and healthy"... Sure sounds to this layman like a decompression table... what is new about that? He did not use a brand name of the machine in the ad, but interesting ,he claimed it was "FDA approved".... he did not say FDA Registered, he said "approved". What is the word on this "new" SRT ?
A RejuvaSpine franchise presents a unique opportunity for you to capitalize on the booming healthcare industry with no medical expertise required. Health care represents a two trillion dollar industry and is experiencing rapid growth - expanding at 2.5 times the rate of all industries. With our highly effective treatment program for back pain, a RejuvaSpine franchise gives you the ability to appeal to a wide demographic. Approximately 80% of Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives, and 76 million baby boomers represent a constantly growing market for back pain treatment.
A RejuvaSpine franchise provides entrepreneurs the opportunity to rapidly and successfully participate in what is, without question, the wealthiest industry in the world - the healthcare industry - by utilizing a proven cash-based model. A tremendous need exists in this booming industry and the demographics support strong growth for years to come. This business is highly rewarding for individuals who enjoy helping others. As a RejuvaSpine franchisee, you can make a difference in your community, in the lives of others, as well as your own.
RejuvaSpine clinics offer non-invasive, drug-free, painless spinal rejuvenation utilizing an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment device. This treatment, known as IDD Therapy treatment, is a pleasant, highly effective program design to restore spinal health and pain-free spinal function. IDD Therapy treatment is also long-lasting and backed by clinical studies and research articles. With an impressive success rate, thousands of patients have already experienced dramatic pain relief and healing.
As Bob Barker would say: "And all this could be yours if the price is right." And apparently no DC degree required. It seems as though the more often we look, the more clear it becomes that the best/most lucrative things done by chiropractors don't even require you to be a chiropractor in first place.
Very expensive tables sold to DCs wanting to charge patients 3-6k cash for their use.
The spinal rejuvenation therapy seems to be a new term for decompression. Instead of using the term decompression, which could be argued does not occur during treatment, use the more general word of "rejuvenation" - whatever the heck that means. I guess its a "safer" term to use. Just my .02 on the matter.
I just saw this ad in the current issue of Chiropractic Economics. The ‘Rejuvination’ thing appears to be run by David Singer. He has been a chiropractic consultant since the 80’s. Unfortunately David is proudly, high up in the cult of Scientology. Please go through the ‘Cults’ room or Google him to see more. He, most likely, controls the ENTIRE show.
Quote:
“This is the most effective, legal and inexpensive marketing program for decompression!” – Dr. David Singer (picture of him)
- How to get permanent – not temporary results! - BECOME A MASTER AT PRE-PAYS!
This is the only Vibration Table on the market Approved for Spinal Rejuvination Therapy to relax muscle spasms and increase the strength of postural muscles.
Stay Away!! If a scientologist is involved, look the other way. Scientologists support each other. Unless you sign up with them, your tail is left hanging out to dry.
The docs I work for now think they are above the law. They try to stay as minimally legal as they can. Without giving too much away, let’s just say the docs I work for have been in trouble a few times. Every time they have been able to get themselves out fairly easily. So when/if something bad happens they can afford to bail themselves out. You’ll be in jail because all your money will be invested in their system. The “church” of scientology has enough money and contacts to help their “friends.”
"Call it "new technology".....The marketing concept can be applied to any table you are using". So the Scientology practice coach is telling his "doctor" clients to call it "new technology" without regard to the age , make , model, of device or table the DC has. It does not matter what decompression table you really use, when you got it, how old it is--- just call it "new technology" in order to get the patient to pay you. Truth is of little consequence to the sales pitch.
Why try to call it this? BC/BS will only pay $19 for a decompression treatment. Other insurance co's refuse to anything at all, or pay very little. So even though it is in fact "decompression", call it something else ( rejuvenation) so you can get paid more than you might if you called it what it really is. This is just an opinion now, but this sure looks like an invitation to commit fraud. Like I said, interesting professional ethics.
"I've had excellent results treating patients who suffer from a broad range of problems with the help of this wonderful new technology. I like to think of it as the Cadillac of chiropractic treatment tables."
Translation= I really just opened my office for the first time yesterday and am in the process of honing my sales pitch. How am I doing so far?

One of the problems about the chiropractic profession is they say things before going out to research it first and make ignorant comments which make our profession look even worse then it already does. Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy was developed by Dr. Burl Pettibon which is one of the most brilliant men when it comes to spinal rehabilitation which is documented in many pier reviewed journals and medical text books for alternatives for surgery that gets long lasting results. SRT or Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy was developed by Dr. Pettibon which is multiple things not just decompression but decompression with full body vibration that has been research extensively to receive rapid results on increasing function in the spine but should not be done unless you warm up the spine first and cool it down afterwards using the Pettibon System. Decompression alone can not even be compared to Spinal Rejuvenation therapy better known as spinal decompression with full body vibration along with using the Pettibon System which is the most valuable part of the care not decompression. Also the research on line says that there is no long term befits to spinal decompression unless you correct the true biomechanics of the spine and strengthen and stabilize all the tissue around it. This is the future of Chiropractic and spinal rehabilitation. So please don’t talk about thing you know nothing about. Thank you! drbrent at Spine Re-New

David Singer is great at marketing and it doesn’t mater what religion he is. Each to there own. The Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy was developed by Dr. Burl Pettibon. Go to pettibonsystem.com and then go to the pettibon institute to see the true research behind Dr. Pettibon’s work. This is the future of Chiropractic along with the work of Dr. Don and Deed Harison from Chiropractic Biophysics.
