Dr. Rick Morris
Director, The Santa Monica Non-Surgical DiscCenter
Spine and Disc Specialist


Dr. Morris is a nationally known specialist in spinal, degenerative and disc injuries. He was put on the U.S. Olympic Medical Team and also worked as a team doctor for many leading sports teams including:

  • U.C.L.A.
  • L.A. Track Club
  • Cal State University at Northridge, and the
  • L.A. Clippers


His expertise in the spine led to an Associate Professorship and national lecturer in the field of joint disorders as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals, a former health writer for Investor's Business Daily.
.

However, his greatest education was not from school or books. In 1990, Dr. Morris severely injured his own back forcing him to experience the field of orthopedics as a doctor and, more importantly, as a patient. "Since my injury and my experience with many doctors, my practice will never be the same. I understand how pain can devastate your life and the importance of a doctor that takes the time and has the knowledge to free you from its terrible burden. It forced me to learn, from the inside, the field of disc surgery and alternative therapies.

Dr. Morris has postgraduate certification in Sports Medicine, Disability Evaluation, Accident Reconstruction.

"I do not believe the most important part of my education occurred in a classroom. I was a competitive athlete and completed many marathons and triathlons including the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. My life changed when I suffered a disabling injury and learned what it was like to be a patient and in chronic pain.

...This forever changed my purpose in life and the way I treat patients. Our staff will treat patients with the skill and understanding that was often missing in the care I received.

That's our job and I personally guarantee that you will not only be very satisfied, but overjoyed and deeply relieved after your very first visit"

-Dr. Rick Morris, Director


About Spinal Decompression System…


Spinal Decompression has revolutionized the care and treatment of herniated discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and failed back surgery. We can now help patients who, prior to Spinal Decompression, face living a life of dangerous pain killing drugs, suffering with pain and the possibility of surgery. Patients come to us from all over the region to receive our non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for low back and neck pain. Many patients have found with us the results they are looking for when other treatments have failed to give them relief.

We are devoted to helping our patients get better. Research has proven an excellent success rate.


What's Different About The Morris Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center?

Just about everything.

1. We start by rechecking your Diagnosis. Is it correct and will it be helped by Spinal Decompression ? MANY CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE HELPED AND WILL BE MADE WORSE WITH DECOMPRESSION. Your outcome and chance for full recovery depends on being sure of the condition that is treated. We are extremely thorough and precise. We guarantee that your initial examination will be one of the most thorough that you've ever had in your life.

2. Most Spinal Decompression offices have a 5-6 week program, ours is 2-4 months! We’ve found that chronic and severe low back problems do not heal with such a short and intense protocol. Our patient outcomes improved significantly when we started more gently and offered more decompression treatments over a longer period of time. Remember cartilage (including discs) takes months to heal, not weeks.

3. Besides Spinal Decompression your treatment may include (depending on your condition) physical therapy, spinal alignment and mobilization, trigger point therapy, in-office and out of office exercise rehabilitation, appropriate low back supports (for your office/home/standing…), and after completion of the in office treatment, we provide six private sessions (one on one) with a disc and spinal stenosis rehabilitation coach so that you retain your back’s improvement.

All of this is included in the treatment package. No one is allowed to receive less. We will not accept patients that do not go through the entire program. Patients at our clinic will only get the best treatment. We do everything to ensure your greatest chance for full success and our outcomes have proven this.

In a study just completed at our center on patients with severe Spinal Stenosis and Disc Herniations:

Patients with severe Spinal Stenosis and/or Disc Herniations that averaged 8-9 out of 10 on a 0-10 pain scale improved to a 4 out of 10 within 3 months and were able to walk, stand and sit significantly longer with a significant reduction or complete elimination of their pain medications. Most continued their improvement (better than 4 out of 10) throughout the remainder of the year.

These were the most severe and chronic low back conditions. ~20% had already failed back surgery, most were on narcotic medication and the majority were limited from walking over ¼ of a mile. Nearly all had tried several other approaches including injections, physical therapy and chiropractic. This study is currently being prepared for publication.

No other office in the country offers this comprehensive of a program.
