What Is Spinal Decompression?

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment option that aims to alleviate back and neck pain by gently stretching the spine. A specialized table or device is used to create negative pressure within the spinal discs, which can help reduce pressure on compressed nerves and improve blood flow to the discs. This treatment may be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. However, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if non-surgical spinal decompression is an appropriate treatment option for your specific condition.

Am I A Candidate?

Spinal decompression may be beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have experienced persistent low back pain or leg pain.
  • Have been diagnosed with a herniated or bulging disc.
  • Have experienced numbness or weakness in the legs.
  • Have not found relief through other treatments.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of spinal decompression sessions required will vary depending on the individual and the severity of the condition. Your chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Testimonials from Our Valued Patients

Mary Lou P.

My insurance company seemed caring at first but quickly turned their back on me. They were actually trying to pay me a couple thousand dollars to “settle my case”, when I hadn’t even seen a doctor. Finally, I was referred to Dr.  Feeney and  I was given an appointment the same day! Dr. Feeney and his staff were wonderful! I could feel that I was in the right place almost immediately.

I was examined, including X-rays, and I was sent for 2 MRI’S. My injuries were explained, and I started a treatment program which was really great. I received regular evaluations and my treatment was modified. Dr. Feeney also referred me to an excellent medical specialist, and together they provided great care.

Additionally, I was also given a list of a few attorneys who were felt to be good matches for me. Now, I tell everyone I know who’s been injured in a car accident to see Dr. Feeney and Physician’s Plus!

I hurt my back at work, and I was told that I had to go to P.T., which I did. At P.T., I was given exercises to do, but they only seemed to make me worse. I was told that I had strained my back, and I needed to go back to work right away. When I went back to work, my pain started to go into my legs, and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was told about Dr. Feeney and made an appointment at Physician’s Plus. After an evaluation, I was told that I was having weakness in my legs and sent for an MRI of my lower back, which showed 3 herniated discs (2 of which were determined to be from my injury).  I did see a spine surgeon, who told me to stick with Dr. Feeney and come back in 6 weeks if I wasn’t better. My treatment plan at Physician’s Plus was really great. I had a special type of lumbar traction called axial decompression as well as a certain type of high-powered laser, which quickly stopped my leg pain. I was also put on a great therapy program, in which the therapist worked with me one on one. I was told that it was extremely important to get my back stronger. My employer even commented that he liked the communication with Physician’s Plus and I’m sure they were happy that I didn’t need surgery. Thankfully, I am back to work today and doing well.
