If You’ve Tried “Everything” But Still Don’t Have Answers …
YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Many people come to us after:
- Physical therapy that helped a little but didn’t last
- Injections that wore off
- Pain meds that only masked symptoms
- Chiropractic care that didn’t resolve the underlying issue

If you feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure what to do next, this page is for you.

There May Be Another Option Before Surgery
Not every back or neck problem requires surgery - but not every problem is the same. That’s why the first step isn’t treatment, it’s understanding what’s actually contributing to your pain or pressure.
Our doctors evaluate whether non-surgical spinal decompression may be appropriate based on:
- Your symptoms
- Your history
- Structural and mechanical factors affecting your spine
What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle, controlled approach designed to help:
- Reduce pressure on spinal discs
- Create space where nerves may be irritated
- Support the spine’s ability to unload and move better
It’s often considered by people with:
- Disc-related back or neck pain
- Sciatica or radiating symptoms
- Chronic tension or stiffness
- Symptoms that worsen with sitting, bending, or loading
Note: Decompression is not appropriate for everyone — evaluation matters.
