Spinal decompression is designed for disc-driven symptoms. It works best when the herniation is compressing a nerve root and producing radiating pain or numbness. It is not appropriate for every back or neck complaint, and applying it to a condition it was not designed for does not produce meaningful results.
Dr. Bronstein evaluates candidacy before starting decompression at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic. That evaluation considers the location of the herniation and the severity of nerve involvement, as well as whether any contraindications exist. Patients dealing with herniated discs near Pismo Beach get a clear answer about whether decompression fits their case.
