Disc Decompression

What is spinal decompression?

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical and drug-free answer for disc related syndromes of the lumbar or cervical spine. Countless people across the country have found relief from the pain associated with herniated discs, bulging discs, facet syndrome, degenerative joint disease, pinched nerves, and other spinal afflictions. Spinal Disc Decompression uses state of the art computer-aided technology to apply gentle, non-surgical decompression to your spine, increasing circulation into the spinal discs and joints, helping to relieve the symptoms that cause pain and dysfunction. This FDA approved technology relieves pain by actually enlarging the space between the discs. The negative pressure of decompression releases pressure that builds on to the disc and nerves, allowing the herniated and bulging disc to eventually go back into the normal position.

What results can I expect?

Many patients with lower back syndromes may experience pain relief as early as the third treatment session.

How long is each session?

Each session on the decompression equipment is approximately 15-30 minutes long, accompanied by 15 minutes of stimulation, heat packs and/or manipulation and/or 30 minutes of physical therapy.

How long before I experience relief?

Often times a patient experiences measurable relief within the first few (3-7) treatments. Usually by the 12th to 15th treatment all patients have reported some remission of symptoms.

Does it work for everyone?

Eighty-to-ninety percent of patients who have been properly selected and comply with the Spinal Disc Decompression protocol will have good-to-excellent outcomes.

Why won’t insurance companies pay for it?

As with most new procedures, Lasik eye surgery or gastric bypass for example, insurance companies are very slow to recognize and reimburse for the value. Everyone knows that Lasik eye surgery works, still most insurance companies will not pay for it. Some workers compensation cases will authorize and pay for spinal decompression therapy.
