Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Are you searching for a non-surgical way to relieve low back or neck pain from a herniated disc? Look no further, our Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression program could be the answer.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, aka Non-Surgical Disc Restoration Therapy, is a great therapy for reducing neck and low back discomfort, and improving functionality. It has shown to do very well reducing pain, as well as tingling and numbness from pinched nerves coming out of the spine.

Decompression works by alleviating axial compression on nerves in your spine by creating a gentle “pumping action” that helps to make more space for bulging or herniated discs by removing pressure from agitated nerves.

It has shown to help alleviate pain in these areas:

  • Neck, shoulders, arms and upper back
  • Low back, hips, legs, and feet

Not sure if decompression is for you? 

Our Decompression Therapy Program has worked great for individuals suffering from:

  • Herniated and bulging discs
  • Mild, moderate, or severe arthritis
  • Spinal degeneration (degenerative disc disease) in the neck and low back
  • Neuropathy (tingling, numbness, burning) into their arms or feet.

Do you have any of the issues listed above? If you do and haven’t tried decompression therapy, we will combine this with Laser Therapy, Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation, and Neuro-Spinal Stabilization and can begin decreasing your pain and symptoms within the first few visits.

Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Our experience has shows us that Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy works fantastic for patients with acute and chronic disc injuries and degeneration. We have found that we are able to help patients even better with specific application of pain-reducing gel (Prologel).

In addition to utilizing pain reducing formulas, and Neuro-Orthopedic Rehab techniques aimed to improving biomechanics, core stabilization, range of motion, and increased movement efficiency.

Neuro-Spinal Stabilization

Stabilizing the spine is imperative during our Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Program. We use neurological therapies from a “top down”  and “bottom up” approach, meaning brain exercises that use descending neurological pathways to stabilize the spine, in addition to physical and spinal stabilizing core exercises  we have developed over the last 20 years to help improve our patients outcomes when dealing with disc herniations and unstable spines.

Our approach has shown to be a winning combination for patients experiencing acute and chronic pain patterns associated with sciatica, low back disc herniations, neck disc herniations, car accidents, whiplash, and chronic degenerative disc disease problems. ACNC is the only clinic in Chandler, AZ to utilize decompression, Neuro-Orthopedic Rehab, as well as neurological therapies stabilizing the spine, decreasing pain, and improving the lives of our patients.

If you think you’re suffering from any of these conditions, or have tried other therapies with poor success, please contact our office to see if you are a good candidate for our clinic.
