Question 1

What is non-surgical spinal decompression?

Accepted Answer

It is a treatment that uses a computerized table to apply controlled traction to the spine. This reduces pressure on the discs and allows the herniation to retract, easing nerve compression.

Question 2

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure backed by clinical evidence. It is performed under medical supervision with parameters personalized for each patient.

Question 3

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

A typical plan is 15 to 25 sessions over 6 to 10 weeks. The exact number depends on the diagnosis and your response to treatment.

Question 4

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Between 30 and 45 minutes. You can resume your activities right after.

Question 5

When will I notice relief?

Accepted Answer

Many patients notice improvement from the first or second session. Consolidation of results usually appears between sessions 4 and 8.

Question 6

How much does the first consultation cost?

Accepted Answer

An accessible flat fee. It includes clinical history, orthopedic and neurological exam, biomechanical evaluation and a personalized treatment plan.

Question 7

Do you accept medical insurance?

Accepted Answer

We issue fiscal receipts that many insurers reimburse. We recommend confirming chiropractic coverage with your insurer.

Question 8

Do I need to bring previous studies?

Accepted Answer

If you have a recent MRI, CT scan or X-rays, bring them. If not, we'll guide you on which studies to request.

Question 9

Are there contraindications?

Accepted Answer

Decompression is not recommended in pregnancy, recent vertebral fractures, spinal tumors or fusion surgery with instrumentation. That's why the initial evaluation is essential.

Question 10

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Decompression complements physical therapy, therapeutic exercise and postural changes — all of which we also teach at the clinic.
