Spinal Decompression Instead of Surgery?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is a spinal disc rehabilitation program that uses FDA cleared medical technology that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs. This technique of spinal decompression therapy, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning, has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs that we are targeting. This "vacuum effect" is also known as negative intradiscal pressure.
The negative pressure can induce the retraction of the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc, and off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both. It happens only microscopically each time, but cumulatively, over four to six weeks, the results are quite dramatic.
The cycles of decompression and partial relaxation over a series of visits, promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside. These nutrients enable the torn and degenerated disc fibers to begin to heal. Check out the treatment and outcomes page for visual pictures of the difference.
If you or your family members have been struggling with debilitating neck or back pain with little or no relief, then ask yourself the following questions.
  • Are you considering surgery and are uncomfortable with that choice?
  • Are you experiencing leg or arm pain?
  • Are you currently dependent on medications on a daily basis?
  • Are you limited or avoid things in daily activities?
  • Have you had repeated injections or epidurals with little or no relief?
If you answered yes to ANY of these questions or are feeling unnecessary pain make an appointment today.
