Is Rehabilitation Therapy For Me?
After only a few treatments, previous research has shown outstanding results in relieving the debilitating pain caused by degenerative, bulging, herniated or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and many failed back surgery cases. Most patients are able to return to normal levels of activity at work or play in just a few weeks time. If you have any of the above named conditions, you are a candidate for Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Spinal Disc Decompression Therapy has been proven to be safe and without side effects or complications once abnormal conditions have been ruled out. Patients with conditions that compromise the integrity of the spinal column such as gross osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis grade 2 and above, fractures, tumors or congenital pars defects are not candidates for Spinal Disc Decompression. Previous spinal surgery is not contraindicated unless hardware (screws, pins, rods, etc.) has been implanted in the back.
