Disc Rehabilitation Program in St. Augustine, FL

Our comprehensive Disc Rehabilitation Program includes several conservative therapies and technology options designed to help patients improve comfort, mobility, and function.

We may combine SpineMED® spinal decompression therapy with rehabilitative exercises to help retrain and balance the muscles in the back and neck. Vibration therapy may help support muscular strength and flexibility, while chiropractic care may help improve spinal joint mobility and mechanics. Additional care options may include laser therapy, physiotherapy, back braces, nutritional counseling, and home exercise programs.

Because we offer several conservative treatment options, we can customize a program based on your symptoms, pain level, examination findings, and the factors contributing to your condition. Our goal is to address contributing factors associated with your condition and help improve function and comfort.

About the SpineMED® System

St. Augustine Spine Center utilizes the SpineMED® spinal decompression system as part of our Disc Rehabilitation Program. SpineMED® is a computerized decompression system designed to target specific lumbar or cervical spinal segments.

SpineMED® is engineered to improve patient comfort and overcome some limitations of older traction and decompression devices. Uncomfortable nylon harnesses, rigid underarm pegs, and outdated traction components are replaced with electronic controls designed to precisely target affected spinal segments with controlled distractive force.

Lower-force computerized decompression may improve comfort and may be considered for certain patients who cannot tolerate higher-force traction or older decompression devices.

Best of all, this approach is non-surgical, needle-free, drug-free, and designed for patient comfort.

"Still active and healthy!"

Patient testimonial from Gerry A. of St. Augustine, Florida

Thank you, Drs. Bailey and Albrecht, for enabling me to continue my active sports life at the age of 72. After undergoing the spinal decompression program I can finally play softball 4 days a week without any lower back pain!

Ever since a sports injury in my 20’s I have lived with lower back pain that, at times, prevented me from engaging in sports and normal work around the house. Within the past several years I have had several cortisone shots, which provided temporary relief from my back pain, but did not address the underlying fact that I have moderate disc degeneration.

I am confident that spinal decompression at the St. Augustine Spine Center is the answer to keeping me healthy and active on the softball field for many years to come.

"Improvement almost immediately!"

Patient testimonial from Elaine K. of Elkton, Florida

I have always led a very active life until chronic back and leg pain prevented me from doing many of the activities I so enjoyed. I tried going to the chiropractor, physical therapy, and shots for relief; nothing seemed to work.

Then, I read about the St. Augustine Spine Center. I went for a consultation and was very impressed with the way Dr. Tyler Albrecht explained the spinal decompression procedure and decided to give it a try.

Amazingly, I noticed improvement almost immediately. Now, upon completion of the treatment regimen, I have been able to resume many of the activities I love, and I’m back to living a normal active life.

I am so happy I found the St. Augustine Spine Center!

How Is SpineMED® Decompression Different Than Traction or Inversion?

Unlike conventional traction or inversion devices, which may cause muscle guarding or spasm in some patients, SpineMED® uses an advanced computer system with built-in load sensors that can adjust the pull when muscles tense up. This helps reduce muscle guarding and may improve patient comfort during treatment.

SpineMED® also specifically targets either the lumbar spine or cervical spine instead of dispersing a generalized pull throughout the entire body like an inversion device.

Control and specificity are two important features that distinguish SpineMED® from general traction and inversion approaches. For appropriately selected patients, this may help provide pain relief and improved function.
