For many people, continuous back pain is more than just a nuisance. It’s a source of constant disruption of their daily lives.

All of the activities you once enjoyed are now a chore, if you can still do them at all. It gets to a point where you focus on nothing else but finding relief.

Some people turn to nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy. Nonsurgical spinal decompression uses motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. It works by gently stretching the spine, which changes the force and position of the spine.

This change in force and position takes pressure off your spinal disks. Spinal disks are the gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine. For those people suffering with herniated or bulging disks, taking off the pressure may relieve some of the stressed nerves and other structures in your spine.

In doing so, this may help the movement of water, oxygen and other nutrients into your spinal disks so they can heal.

Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression for a number of ailments:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Sciatica
• Weakness or tingling in the legs
• Bulging disks
• Herniated disks
• Degenerative disk disease
• Posterior facet syndrome (worn spinal joints)
• Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots

Dr. Allan Spiegel uses the DRX9000 decompression machine to perform nonsurgical decompression therapy. The DRX9000 (DRX stands for Decompression Reduction Extraction) is the best quality and most researched decompression device available today.

Each session will take 30-45 minutes. Many patients feel some relief after only three sessions. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please Contact Us.
