Spinal Decompression! The Right Choice?

Spinal decompression therapy is recommended for those patients that have ongoing back pain that is caused by herniated or bulging discs, sciatica and degenerative disc disease. S.D. is also beneficial for those that have unstable joints, and failed back surgery.

Spinal decompression is not recommended if you have osteoporosis, (thinning of the bones), recent vertebral fracture, spinal infections, or pelvic cancer. If you are pregnant or have surgical hardware installed in your spine, you are not a candidate for spinal decompression.
