Which conditions may spinal decompression therapy address?
Spinal stenosis, disc-related pain, sciatic pain, and nerve pressure may be considered for spinal decompression therapy. The treatment choice follows a health history and musculoskeletal exam. A disc bulge alone doesn't decide the plan. We also consider movement limits, symptom patterns, and warning signs before recommending care.
How is treatment matched to my symptoms before care starts?
Treatment is matched through a new patient intake, health history, and musculoskeletal exam. We review where symptoms occur, what movements affect them, and how they affect daily function. The report of findings then explains whether decompression, Cox Flexion-Distraction Therapy, rehabilitation, or another option fits the clinical picture.
What should be ready before my first appointment?
Your symptom history, prior injury details, medication list, and available medical records should be ready. These details help us understand the problem before treatment begins. Bring information about accident-related pain or earlier care as well. A clear account of what changes the pain can help guide the exam.
Why might spinal decompression be the wrong choice?
Spinal decompression may be the wrong choice when the examination points to another cause or urgent medical concern. Sudden weakness, loss of bladder control, or severe new symptoms need prompt medical attention. Our team reviews warning signs before care and may direct you toward another evaluation when appropriate.
What should I ask before agreeing to treatment?
Ask what the exam found, why the proposed method fits, and what other care options exist. You can also ask how progress will be reviewed and which symptoms need prompt medical attention. Clear answers matter because individual response differs. We explain the care plan before treatment starts.

What changes the cost of this treatment?
