View Spinal Discs Anatomy with an Accurate Model

You know how a spine works. That’s your specialty. You likely spent countless hours studying drawings of the spine and fingering models that allowed you to get a good grasp on spinal discs anatomy, how things work, and how things can go wrong. Spinal disc construction is engrained into your brain and sometimes it seems as if you could treat a patient with your eyes closed. That’s how well you know spinal anatomy.
However, when a patient walks in and they know there’s a problem, are you able to take your wealth of knowledge and explain the particulars to them to words they’ll understand? Can you sit them down and make them understand why they hurt or are feeling poorly? Can you help them understand the processes/treatments necessary to help them feel better? Will they leave your office with the sense that you care about whether or not they understand their issues?
Or will they just leave, perhaps feeling better but still in the dark about their condition?
In this day and age, it is our universal hope that all doctors shake off any notion of being educationally-superior to their patients and truly take the time to offer their patients the knowledge they require to understand their body.
In the office of a chiropractor, a spine surgeon, or a physiotherapist, teaching patients about the spine is paramount so that whether the patient is dealing with disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, or some other issue, they can understand how their anatomy plays a part in their pain. If you do your job the right way, your patient should be able to go home and explain their problem to another lay person in terms that are easy to understand. 

Degenerative Centralizer Lumbar Model


Spine models are the premiere tools for spine education because they present an accurate presentation of the spine that can be both viewed and touched. The fully-dynamic 3D models made by Dynamic Disc Designs are among the best on the market – many claim they are THE best – and definitely the model of choice for those that value patient education.


Here’s why. The detail found in ALL of Dynamic Disc Design’s (ddd) models is phenomenal. These details may include:
 herniating nucleus pulposus
a right posterior-lateral radial and circumferential tear
a transparent L4 and a clinic white opaque L5
endplate and endplate pores and lesions
a detailed cauda equina
and much, much more!
Furthermore, Dr. Jerome Fryer, founder of Dynamic Disc Designs, personally sees to the quality of everything that he ships to spine specialists around the world, and it’s this dedication to quality and accuracy that has made the spine models he produces popular with those who truly want to provide easy-to-understand, accurate information about the spine to non-medical individuals as well as to future generations of doctors.
The reviews clearly show the reasons ddd’s models have become must-haves for so many spine specialists.
“I was recommended to purchase a Professional LxH Disc Model and was incredibly impressed with its quality and design when it arrived,” explains chiropractor John Dowood. “The fact that patients are able to see into the disc allows them to understand the manner in which the disc can cause nerve root irritation. We have now established a Disc Clinic and use our DDD Spine Education Model as an integral part of explaining to both people referring patients to the clinic and the patients themselves how our treatments can offer effective pain relief and facilitate tissue healing and repair in cases of disc pathology. I would recommend these products to anyone wanting to enhance their ability to educate and inform people about disc related pain and dysfunction, they’re truly 5 star!”
