Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Non-Invasive Pain Relief
We understand that many people desire non-invasive, non-surgical methods to treat their injuries. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a drug free, non-invasive technique used to treat the pain and symptoms of a variety of spinal compression-related medical conditions such as herniated and degenerative spinal disc disease, one of the major causes of back pain. It is promising medical treatment for long-term back pain relief, helping patients avoid surgery.

At New York Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy, we deliver decompression therapy with a computer controlled  decompression table to slowly and gently realign and separate compressed spinal discs (the soft cartilage between the vertebrae), helping to decrease pressure on pinched nerve roots.This effect accumulated over a number of treatment visits can help to retract herniated or bulging discs. Our expert therapists work with each patient to develop a properly structured treatment plan that will alleviate the pain and complications of these conditions and help prevent future occurrences. 

Effective Treatment for Chronic Conditions
Non-surgical spinal decompression can also be used as a treatment for sciatica; a condition that may occur as a result of discs impinging upon spinal never roots resulting in pain radiating down a patient’s leg, and in some cases leading to numbness and/or weakness. 

Treatment with non-surgical spinal decompression can treat the source of the problem by realigning discs and relieving the pressure placed on the root of the affected nerve. Patients suffering from other degenerative spine diseases such as facet arthrosis or spinal stenosis may also find that spinal decompression relieves their pain.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is integrated into an intense physical therapy program; that incorporates a strengthening and conditioning program to return patients back to an active lifestyle that they can maintain and enjoy.
