Is Stretching Spine To Decompress The Vertebrae Safe After Aortic Stent Implantation?
Question: My wife has a full length aortic stent. She is now suffering a lumbar disk compression, causing sciatica. I normally do not believe in Chiropractors but we found one that has a state of the art machine equivalent to a medieval "rack" that stretches the spine to decompress the vertebrae, She has had one treatment and it radically reduced her pain level, but Is this procedure safe with respect to her stent? We do not want to proceed further if the risk outweighs the benefit.
Brief Answer:
Need to know the procedure details as well as type of stent, first
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
First, I need to know the details of the stent intervention and more details on the new procedure proposed.
Anyway, I do not see any problem to run such procedure after aortic stent.
Looking forward to have the details in!
