What Doctors Say
"There is a place for surgery, but definitely not at the front line.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy should be a front-line
treatment for chronic back pain patients suffering from bulging,
herniated, or degenerative disc disease, and facet syndrome.
As a surgeon, I only want to do surgery when I absolutely have to. Spinal Decompression Therapy gives my patients a more conservative treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery altogether, and that's a very good thing.
Spinal Decompression Therapy also gives me a treatment option for
those patients who have had surgery and have a relapse or experience a
return of pain following surgery. It allows me to offer patients a key,
non-surgical weapon in the war on back pain."

"As an interventional pain physician, I feel that Spinal
Decompression Therapy has filled a void in our continuum of treatment
for those patients suffering from back and neck pain associated with
disc pathology. The majority of the other procedure I perform, such as
injections and nerve blocks, treat the pain due to tissue and nerve
irritation, which only reduce the patients' pain. My enthusiasm for
Spinal decompression Therapy stems from the fact that it it the only
therapy that scientifically attempts to heal and "rejuvenate" the discs.
My personal experience with this non-invasive therapy is that
qualified patients will show improvement within the first few
treatments."

"Neurologists like myself have long known that we should do
everything possible to help our patients avoid back surgery. Now with
Spinal decompression Therapy we finally have a very effective way to
treat back pain without surgery. The vast majority of even our worst
cases experience significant, long-lasting relief if they complete the
entire treatment regimen. Anyone who says this is experimental doesn't
know what they're talking about."
Orlando Maldonado MD -Bradenton, FL
"We have treated thousands of patients who have experienced long
term, pain free healing because of decompression therapy. With
non-surgical decompression we offer real modification of the patient's
disc disease processes and rehabilitation of the neuropathic and
mechanical symptoms, rather than just offering palliative care. I use
it for myself and it is worth its weight in gold."
