Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Right For You?

Our doctors and staff regularly receive questions from physicians and patients about which cases non-surgical spinal decompression may best help. Proper patient selection is essential for improved outcomes in appropriately selected patients. At St. Augustine Spine Center, we do not recommend treatment for patients unless our doctors believe they may benefit from this therapy.

Please review the conditions below to learn whether this treatment may be appropriate for your symptoms. A consultation and evaluation are required to determine candidacy.

Conditions Spinal Decompression May Help

Sciatica

Sciatica is a symptom that may include pain, burning, numbness, tingling, or weakness caused by compression or irritation of nerve roots that contribute to the sciatic nerve. Pain may be felt in the lower back, buttock, leg, or foot.

Disc Herniation

A disc herniation can occur when the outer fibers of an intervertebral disc become weakened or torn, allowing the soft inner material to push outward. This may place pressure on nearby nerves and contribute to chronic back pain, neck pain, or radiating symptoms.

Disc Bulge

A disc bulge occurs when the disc extends outward beyond its normal boundary. In some cases, a bulging disc can irritate or compress nearby nerves and contribute to back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or pinched nerve symptoms.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal or nerve passageways narrow. This can place pressure on the spinal cord, cauda equina, or nerve roots and may contribute to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease involves age-related or injury-related changes in spinal discs. Disc degeneration may reduce disc height, increase spinal stress, and contribute to back pain, neck pain, stiffness, or nerve irritation.
