In this brief first‑person account, Dr. Vince Leone describes a 2015 zipline accident that caused a severe intervertebral disc injury and a compression fracture, profoundly affecting his personal and professional life. He uses this experience to argue that there is a substantial, unmet demand for spinal decompression and other non‑surgical disc therapies. Leone emphasizes that meeting this demand hinges on clinicians possessing the right diagnostic and therapeutic skills, having access to effective treatment tools, and being able to reach and educate patients about these options.

I know this myself just because, you know, in 2015 I had a zipline accident that resulted in a pretty significant disc and a compression fracture, and it it had a massive toll on my life. So I think we can put to bed or to rest once and for all that there is more than enough demand for spinal decompression or non-surgical treatment of a disc, and it's just a matter of being able to a have. The clinical acumen and the tools to actually heal somebody, and then being able to reach them and let them know about who you are and what you do.
