SDT is well-studied with more that 10 research articles showing its effectiveness. It has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of back pain symptoms due to Disc Herniations, Bulging Discs, Pinched Nerves, Sciatica (leg pain), Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), Spinal Stenosis, and Post-Surgical Pain.

At the beginning of each session, you will be comfortably fitted with a harness designed to achieve optimal decompression of the low back or neck. During a session of spinal decompression, you will notice a slow lengthening of your spine as your discs are gradually decompressed and relieved of pressure. The treatment process is safe and relaxing. While some patients with extensively injured discs have reported mild discomfort during the first few treatment sessions, their discomfort subsides upon subsequent visits. A patient safety switch provides an extra safety feature, allowing you to stop at any point should you feel discomfort. Each treatment session lasts approximately 15-30 minutes. Individual patient results may vary.

Treatment Protocols are based on studied, and proven outcomes. The initial spinal decompression treatment protocol consists of about 20-25 sessions over four to eight weeks. Some conditions require fewer visits; some require more. Many patients report relief from their pain and other symptoms during the first few treatment sessions, and most experience dramatic pain relief after completion of their prescribed treatment program.

Some conditions, such as Degenerative Disc Disease require ongoing maintenance of 1-2 sessions per month. We offer packages to keep treatment accessible and encourage long term spinal hygiene.

In many cases Spinal Decompression treatment is not contra-indicated for patients that have had spinal surgery. In fact, many patients have found success with Spinal Decompression even after a failed back surgery. After a failed Laminectomy or Micro Discectomy patients may still respond favorably to spinal decompression. If a patient has had more than 3 laminectomies then the success rate of spinal decompression will go down. If a patient has had surgical fusion with rods or screws or any type of hardware then patients may not qualify for spinal decompression. Always consult your spinal decompression specialist to see if you qualify for spinal decompression therapy.

You may not qualify if you have been diagnosed with any of the following:
• Have fusion or have had a surgical fusion in the area of your pain
• Have cancer that has spread to the bones of the spine
• Are currently pregnant

While the majority of the patients we treat experience significant pain relief, our program is NOT for everyone! In order to determine if you qualify for our program or not we offer a complimentary consultation. We only want to treat patients that we feel confident that we can get better so we only accept a select group of patients. If we don’t feel like we can help we will refer you to someone who can.

Here are a few questions to see if you might qualify for our 5 step spinal decompression program
1. Do you have pain in the neck or back?
2. Has your back or neck pain restricted you physically preventing you from doing your job, playing your favorite sport or spending time with your loved ones?
3. Have you tried other forms of “conventional treatments” such as physical therapy, pills, or chiropractic that have failed to produce lasting results?
4. Have you been diagnosed with a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerated disc, sciatica or chronic neck or back pain by a doctor.

You do not. Microcurrent is not for everyone as some populations are contra-indicated. We include it by default because we can get better results for those who are able to use it. Frequency-Specific Microcurrent allows us to support more complete healing of the disc tissues while Spinal Decompression creates a healthier disc space. Most of our clients who use FSM to treat disc pathologies feel pain relief much more quickly. You can learn more about this gentle modality here.

We do not process insurance in our clinic. Doing so would generally limit our ability to treat holistically. We recognize that root causes for pain issues in a body are often too far away from the location of the pain for insurance to permit treatment. We don’t want to be limited in this way. We are able to provide a superbill upon request. This is the form needed by insurance companies for you to request reimbursement if they provide out-of-network coverage, however please note that reimbursement is at the discretion of your insurance company, and many insurance plans do not cover Spinal Decompression Therapy. We do accept HSA and FSA accounts.
