What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal Decompression Therapy has been proven to effectively reduce and even eliminate pain for many patients who have been suffering from bulged discs, herniated discs, sciatica, degeneration of the spine, and even failed back surgery.

How long does it take?

Each treatment session lasts minutes, not hours, and the entire course of care can ben done in under 4 weeks. Also, unlike with surgery, there's no lengthy recovery period, and most patients can complete the care without missing a day of work.

Will I experience discomfort during the treatments?

The majority of our patients find the treatments very comfortable and often sleep through the entire treatment.

Will I experience discomfort after the treatments?

Decompression treatment does not lead to increased pain after treatments. You will be given a home care protocol to follow to avoid exacerbation of your pain while completing the decompression treatment.

How long will it be before I notice results?

Some patients experience relief on the very first visit. On average most patients start to notice significant relief between the 7th and 12th visits.

How soon can I return to work or normal activity?

Depending on the individual case many patients return to work and normal activity within 2-3 weeks.

Will there be any side effects?

There are no side effects to Spinal Decompression Therapy. The results are healthier discs, stronger core musculature to support the spine, and improved flexibility.

How long do the results last?

The results of Spinal Decompression Therapy will last as long as the patient continues with their home care protocol and re-hydration/maintenance care.

What are my limitations after Decompression Therapy and how long will I be out of work?

Rehabilitative exercises to strengthen and stabilize the spine as well as flexibility exercises begin the very first day of your treatment. Each case is different so the limitations will be recommended on an individualized basis.

We recommend that patients return to normal activities gradually to allow for maximum healing. Patients that have desk jobs can normally return to work within a few days and patients with physically strenuous jobs should wait four to six weeks, depending on the job. You may return to work with restrictions for those first six weeks and then return to normal activity after that.

Can you help me if I have had failed back surgery?

Many patients have been helped who have had failed back surgery or have new spine conditions due to adhesions and scar tissue from past surgeries.

How do I know if I am a candidate for Spinal Decompression Therapy?

To determine if you are a Spinal Decompression Therapy candidate, you will undergo a thorough examination and evaluation, including a review of your most recent MRI and any other diagnostic tests that you have received.

Our reputation and your health are based on your results and we are not willing to compromise either.
