The Cordus-Sacrus method helps to significantly reduce * herniated discs through vertebral decompression, including those that are already in an advanced process. As a result: pain is eliminated. In most cases, patients return to normal activities and avoid surgery *.
* Except for the cases of patients with herniated discs where the fibrous ring is ruptured and the content has come out.
The Cordus and Sacrus method is a comprehensive strategy of spinal flexibility, strengthening and alignment, which, because it is quite simple, can be performed not only in the clinic, but also at home by the user. This non-invasive technique consists of recovering the natural space of the vertebrae, so that the intervertebral discs take their place and partially recover their volume.
Thanks to the relaxation of the deep intervertebral muscles and the muscles of the sacrum, vertebral decompression and resorption of the bulging disc (disc protrusion) or herniated disc is allowed and, consequently, the nerves (sciatica, etc.) are released. Discs rehydrate, tissues regenerate (disc repair), and back pain is relieved as pressure on the spinal nerves or spinal cord is removed.
It must be considered that the herniated disc correction process is slow, from 2 to 6 or more months on average, and relaxation and spinal flexibility therapies must be constant and multiple. That is why an effective method that can go deeper than the fingers of a specialist, that can be applied at home and that saves a lot of money and travel time, is very useful for those who want to recover their normal activity.
** There are factors that interfere with the degree of restoration that can be achieved, including obesity, the presence of other spinal diseases and the age of the patient.
To have a greater effect, fast and safe, we highly recommend supplementing your therapy with Sacrus.
For the use of Cordus and Sacrus there are some contraindications and specific application measures for certain conditions. If you, in addition to herniated discs, have other diseases in the spine diagnosed, consult the list of diseases (here) before applying Cordus and Sacrus and perform the therapy for herniated discs considering the indications for the other conditions that you have.
It is important that your diagnosis is supported by a CT scan or an MRI, X-rays are not always enough, and depending on the status of your hernia perform therapy as follows:
The Cordus device can be used right in the area of the hernia. In case of severe pain, avoid placing Cordus directly on the damaged area during the first 3 to 5 sessions. Always considering the intensity of the pain **.
During the first 5 sessions, place Cordus 3 cm above or below the damaged area and in the other areas of the spine. Do not use Cordus directly on the affected area. From the sixth therapy, Cordus can be applied to the hernia area. Remember to consider the intensity of the pain **.
It is suggested to apply Cordus in the areas close to 3 cm above or below the damaged area and in the other areas of the spine for one or two months. Afterwards, a study is recommended to verify the status of the hernia. If the size of the hernia has been reduced to 8mm or less, it can be started to apply to the hernia area. Remember to consider the intensity of the pain **.
Place Cordus 9 cm above or below the area and on the others. Do not use Cordus on the affected area.
In case of having had herniated disc surgery: Cordus is used to improve the rehabilitation process after 1 month of surgery, at a distance of more than 8 centimeters from the operated area. After 3 months use Cordus at a distance of more than 3 centimeters from the operated area.
*** Consider the intensity of the pain: Avoid applying Cordus in the area if there is severe pain, until reducing the intensity of the pain by using the device in surrounding areas and applying anti-inflammatory measures.
It is highly recommended to complement your therapy with Sacrus, for hernias in the lumbar or cervical area.
If you feel severe pain while using Cordus (usually in the hernia area), move the device 3 to 4 cm above or below the area that is causing you discomfort. Do this for 3 to 5 sessions and test the hernia area again, gently.
We suggest that for best results you complement the comprehensive Cordus and Sacrus therapy with exercises appropriate to your diagnosis, to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles. Review and improve your lifestyle habits as they can continue to harm the problem and consume some nutritional supplements.
For more suggestions read the manual carefully.

For the use of Cordus and Sacrus there are some contraindications and specific application measures for certain conditions. If you, in addition to herniated discs, have other diseases in the spine diagnosed, consult the list of diseases (here) before applying Cordus and Sacrus and perform the therapy for herniated discs considering the indications for the other conditions that you have.
First, Sacrus is placed in the sacrum area and a support (rolled towel) under the lumbar area and the Basic Therapy is continued according to the Manual. At the end of the therapy in the sacrum area, the Cordus therapy will begin to be applied in the lumbar area; From the point closest to the sacrum, progress is made towards the dorsal area and the therapy is finished just before the skull, between the C-2 and C-3 vertebrae. Then Sacrus is applied under the head with a support (rolled towel) under the cervical area and at the end Sacrus is applied under the diaphragm.
At the end of the therapy, muscle tone must be reactivated in each segment of the spine by performing the exercises mentioned in Manual (basic therapy).
If you have a diagnosed instability in the cervical area, a prior preparation is required in this area. Suspend the use of Cordus in the cervical area for a month, apply it in other areas, perform therapeutic exercises to improve instability in the cervicals and then start using it in this area considering the point ****.
**** If after Cordus therapy, or the next day, additional pain appears in the cervical area, it means that there is vertebral instability in this area, so we recommend suspending the use of Cordus in the cervical area for a month, perform therapeutic exercises to improve instability in the cervicals, and then start using it in this area.
