1. Worried About Costs or insurance coverage?

Rest assured; our treatments are highly cost-effective.

Typically, there's a modest $25 fee not covered by insurance, but the majority of our services are included in your plan.

We'll handle the legwork by checking your insurance to pinpoint your exact coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses.

2. What sets this apart from a Traction or an inversion table?

When spinal muscles are stretched over long durations, they naturally contract and resist.

Traction and inversion devices, which exert a continuous pull, often activate this muscle-guarding response.

This resistance hinders the creation of the negative pressure necessary to relieve nerve compression.

Decompression therapy, however, ingeniously sidesteps this muscle resistance. By generating a more substantial negative pressure within the disc, it alleviates pressure on the nerves and fosters the disc’s natural repair process.

3. Do you use any other treatments along with the Decompression? 

In addition to Decompression therapy, Dr. Sizenbach, D.C., offers complementary therapies carefully designed to enhance healing. These gentle treatments focus on the recovery of the disc and surrounding tissues.

Rest assured, our therapies are tailored to support the healing process gently and effectively. We also provide patients with personalized advice on stretching and exercises for at-home care, ensuring continued progress outside of the clinic.

4. What is Decompression Therapy?

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical and drug-free treatment for disc-related injuries of the neck and lower back.

Spinal Disc Decompression uses computer-aided technology to apply gentle, non-surgical decompression to your spine, increasing circulation into the spinal discs and joints, thus helping to relieve the symptoms that cause pain.

5. Are the treatments painful?

No. Spinal Decompression is safe and comfortable for all subjects. Decompression therapy is designed to be gentle and is generally well-tolerated by most patients.

The treatment's focus is on relieving pressure and promoting healing without causing additional pain. Some patients might experience mild discomfort during the initial sessions as their bodies adjust, but this typically subsides as treatment progresses.  

6. What Results can I expect?

It is unethical to guarantee a cure. But Results may differ from patient to patient based on many factors such as Age, condition, length of time, and other health factors. Often a patient experiences some relief within the first few (3-7) treatments. Usually, by the 12th to 18th treatment, most patients have reported some remission of symptoms.   

7. Can Spinal Decompression be used for patients that have had spinal surgery?  

Yes. Many patients have found success with Spinal Decompression after a failed back surgery. Ultimately the Doctor will determine if Decompression therapy will be beneficial in your particular case.   

8. Am I eligible for Decompression Therapy?

The most common types of conditions that are successfully treated with spinal decompression therapy are (but are not limited to): Disc bulges (herniations, slipped, or bulging), sciatica (leg pain), disc disease, stenosis, arm pain, neck, and back pain. The best way to know is to call us for an appointment to see if you are a good candidate.
