Decompression therapy is an alternative to surgery that works by gently lengthening and releasing the spine, creating negative pressures within the spinal discs. This reversal of pressure creates a vacuum within the disc space and helps to pull the bulging disc material back into place, taking the pressure off pinched nerves and surrounding soft tissue. Nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are also pulled back into the disc. This process is accomplished while you are comfortably resting on your back. Advanced software monitors your body’s response to care to allow for decompression at a rate just right for you.

Professional acuity, knowledge and thoroughness is critical.
Injuries to the neck and back are among the more common types of trauma and are often more of a transient nuisance than a serious event. However, some of these types of injuries can also represent a major life-altering catastrophe that may have implications for all activities including making a living. They can be complicated by general deconditioning, weight gain, stiffness, chronic pain and severe weakness of the musculature that supports the neck and back. When you have a neck or back injury, get the help you need and get it early. Rely on a medical professional who will listen, examine you and get the right clinical tests ordered if needed. In some cases, neurological or neurosurgical consultation may be needed, but if that is necessary we will make the process simple and quick. We want to get you back to work and back to life.
