Spinal decompression and traction use controlled, gentle forces to unload areas of the spine. For appropriately selected patients, this can be incorporated into a non-surgical plan for certain neck, back and disc-related complaints.
When This Service May Be Considered
• Certain disc-related neck or back complaints
• Selected cases of sciatica or radiating discomfort
• Spinal stiffness or compression-related symptoms
• Patients seeking a non-surgical option after evaluation
What to Expect
Decompression is not appropriate for every patient or every spinal condition. Dr. Large will review your history and examination findings to determine whether it makes sense for you. When appropriate, it may be combined with chiropractic care, laser therapy and rehabilitation.
