Dr. L.D. Pridgen Recognized as Founder of LIFE University Disc Centers of America Outpatient Center

Dr Pridgen Founder(Valdosta, GA)

Opioid addiction is an epidemic and has become one of the biggest healthcare challenges facing America.

The over-utilization of pain medications has become rampant. Dangerous opioid medications, risky epidural spinal injections, and even often unnecessary back surgeries have affected so many individuals’ quality of life.

Back pain conditions have become the #2 reason patients seek out a doctor, with the common cold still being #1.

Often left untreated, these conditions can become crippling. Spinal Disc Disease is often the root cause.

One local doctor has decided to tackle this problem head-on. Dr. LD Pridgen has become a Founder of the first-ever LIFE University DISC Centers of America Outpatient Center and Educational Institution.

LIFE University, established in 1975 in Marietta, Georgia, became the largest combined undergraduate and graduate university in the world, featuring its renowned Chiropractic Educational Program, and has graduated doctors from all 50 states, including multiple countries. LIFE University has taken a giant leap forward in the collegiate and academic world by partnering with DISC Centers of America in its exclusive agreement.

DISC Centers of America, created by Dr. Eric Kaplan and Dr. Perry Bard, with over 250 centers in 46 states, are leaders in providing non-surgical spinal disc care through the utilization of a medical technology known as non-surgical spinal decompression.

In this historic alignment of LIFE University and DISC Centers of America, patients are now being afforded more natural options for the treatment of Spinal Disc Disease, which may include degenerative, bulging, and often even herniated spinal discs.

Utilizing the medical protocols of Dr. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., neurosurgeon and Harvard instructor, with over 500 published research studies, and as part of the LIFE University / DISC Centers of America clinic curriculum, future student doctors are being trained in an unmatched learning and experiential hands-on dynamic.

The grand opening was also held on the same weekend as the National Neuropathy-Spinal Decompression Certificate Program, which took place on campus. Dr. LD Pridgen’s participation was also recognized alongside many leading medical physicians who lectured, including Dr. Jay Lombard, medical neurologist; Dr. Stanley Kalish, Emory University pediatric surgeon; and Dr. Nassir Mokarram, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Emory University and Stanford University Fellow.

This also included former NFL star Duane Clemons, a 1st-round draft choice and defensive team captain who played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, and Cincinnati Bengals, and is the owner of 3 Super Bowl rings.
