Conditions
If you have any of these symptoms, a clinical evaluation will help confirm the diagnosis and decide if spinal decompression is right for you.
Causes: The disc's nucleus shifts and compresses a nerve root. Common between ages 30 and 60 due to overload, poor posture or injury.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Computerized spinal decompression + physical therapy. Typical plan: 15–25 sessions.
Causes: Compression of the sciatic nerve, usually from an L4-L5 or L5-S1 herniation, piriformis syndrome or stenosis.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Targeted lumbar decompression on the affected level. Progressive relief from the first sessions.
Causes: Disc degeneration, core weakness, poor work posture, small herniations.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Combination of decompression, strengthening and postural re-education.
Causes: C5-C6 or C6-C7 herniations, prolonged screen posture, cervical trauma.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Specific cervical decompression + stabilization exercises.
Causes: Narrowing of the spinal canal due to osteoarthritis or facet degeneration, common after age 60.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Conservative treatment with decompression and physical therapy to improve walking tolerance.
Causes: Natural wear of the disc, genetic factors, overweight and sedentary lifestyle.
Common symptoms:
How we treat it: Disc rehydration via negative pressure and postural re-education.
Warning signs
Go to an emergency room if you experience: loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness in the genital or anal area, progressive leg weakness, or pain after a hard impact. These signs require immediate medical evaluation.
