Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, promoting hydration and healing. This non-surgical treatment uses FDA-cleared technology like the DRX9000 to target disc herniations and sciatica. Patients experience reduced inflammation and improved mobility through personalized sessions tailored to their spinal anatomy and condition.
Sciatica Relief
Sciatica relief focuses on reducing nerve compression caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Combining chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, and physiotherapy, we address the root cause of radiating pain. Patients report significant improvement in leg pain, numbness, and mobility within weeks of starting treatment.
Disc Restoration Therapy
Disc Restoration Therapy is a five-step program (S.P.I.N.E.) designed to heal disc injuries. It integrates decompression, physiotherapy, and nutritional support to rehydrate discs and restore function. Most patients complete treatment in 6-8 weeks, achieving lasting relief from chronic back pain and improved spinal stability.
Neuropathy Pain Management
Neuropathy treatment utilizes cold laser therapy and spinal decompression to reduce nerve irritation and improve circulation. This non-invasive approach alleviates tingling, burning, and numbness in hands and feet. Patients with non-diabetic neuropathy experience enhanced sensation and mobility through targeted, drug-free care.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments to relieve nerve pressure and improve joint function. Using low-force techniques, we restore mobility and reduce inflammation without surgery. Adjustments are often paired with decompression therapy to enhance outcomes for conditions like facet joint syndrome and chronic neck pain.
