Spinal Disc Decompression

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Overview

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is an effective treatment for:


DX1-decompressive traction therapy
  • Herniated or bulging disc(s)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet syndrome
  • Sciatica
  • Post-surgical patients
  • Spinal Stenosis

Do you have a herniated disc, multiple herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, or any other type of spinal problem? Is your doctor suggesting surgery, pain management, or physical therapy? Have you tried Chiropractic and just did not get enough relief? Come to Frase Chiropractic and try out non-surgical spinal decompression.

Spinal decompression is FDA cleared and has been clinically proven with an 86% success rate with the pain and symptoms associated with herniated and/or bulging discs…even after failed surgery.

Research indicates the disc is responsible for a significant number of lumbar/leg pain and neck/arm pain syndromes. Compression increases intradiscal pressure leading to annular compromise and possible extrusion of nuclear material.

Spinal decompression therapy, in conjunction with additional therapies, effectively relieves the pain and disability resulting from disc injury and degeneration, by repairing damaged discs and reversing damaging changes in nerves. Spinal decompression addresses various aspects of disc pain and disease through non-surgical decompression of intervertebral discs. Studies verify the significant reduction of intradiscal pressures which result in the non-surgical decompression of the disc and nerve root. Conventional traction has never demonstrated these benefits; on the contrary - many traction devices actually increased intradiscal pressure.  Our spinal decompression table is designed to apply distraction tension to the patient’s spine without eliciting reflex paravertebral muscle contractions.

By significantly reducing intradiscal pressure, spinal decompression promotes retraction of the herniation into the disc. The most recent trial found that reduction of disc herniation ranged between 10% and 90% depending on the number of sessions performed, while disc patching and healing was evident in all cases.

The most recent clinical study of 219 patients has showed that spinal decompression therapy provided an immediate resolution of symptoms for 86% of the participants, while 84% remained pain-free 90 days post-treatment. Our spinal decompression program is extremely comprehensive and may include spinal decompression, physiotherapy, chiropractic, infrared therapy, and spinal rehabilitation.

Dr. Shapiro Asks some important questions of interest to Atlanta residents - Chiropractor Atlanta Dr. Shapiro Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Where do most Atlanta residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Atlanta newborn.
