" I injured my back first 19 years ago and I had surgery,
I re-injured my back again 5 years ago and had a second surgery, before going in for surgery a third time,
I decided to try Spinal Decompression Therapy. I was taking pain killers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories (8/day) and I couldn't walk 5 feet. Now, I can walk 3 miles a day and I feel 90% better." --V.B. More Testimonials

Conservative Treatments
Many patients improve without surgery. Non-surgical treatments may include a short period of rest, oral medications, chiropractic, physical therapy, exercise, or epidural steroid injection therapy. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy may be used for cases of disc herniation, sciatica, arm or leg pain chronic back pain or failed back syndrome. Additional therapies such as ultrasound, electric stimulation, hot packs, cold packs, and manual ("hands on") therapy may be prescribed to reduce your pain and muscle spasm, which will make it easier to start an exercise program. Traction may also provide pain relief for some patients. Bracing, such as a lumbar corset, may help relieve your back pain. The goals of non-surgical treatment are to reduce the irritation of the nerves and disks and to improve the physical condition of the patient to protect the spine and increase overall function.
For patients with chronic pain due to fibrous adhesions, we utilize Manipulation under Anesthesia to improve function and relieve pain.
