Do you suffer from degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or other spinal problems? Has your physician suggested you consider surgery?

You may want to consider spinal decompression coupled with oxygen enhanced brain-based therapy first. While other offices offer spinal decompression as a stand alone treatment,  we take it to the next level by combining oxygen therapy, specific core-training protocols, and brain-based therapy.  Spinal decompression therapy on its own has has proven effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. When combined with  our other unique methods, the results are even more effective.  If you have already had surgery, spinal decompression therapy can still be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.

Spinal discs do not get oxygen and fresh blood consistently. Decompression and motion can enhance healing by restoring the needed nutrients back into the discs. During therapy, you will go through phases of distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can be placed under pressure which creates a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things. First, any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded will return to where it should be. Second, the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which can promote healing.

As part of our core-training program, we utilize the ATM2 spinal rehab system. The ATM2 serves as an effective platform from which we can strengthen your core muscles without causing further injury to an already hurting back.  The ATM2 can bring pain relief and increased range of motion within minutes.

Spinal decompression therapy typically takes 30-minutes to perform. Patients usually have treatment 3-4 times a week for usually a minimim of four weeks, or as determined by your chiropractor for your specific condition.  Most patients find pain relief within a few sessions. However, to achieve maximum and long-lasting relief, commitment to the entire recommended treatment program is necessary. For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective.

Before you opt for surgery, explore the possibility of spinal decompression therapy. Every person who is interested in spinal decompression therapy will be evaluated to see if he or she would make a good candidate.
