What our patients are saying:

Ruby

Initially I had heard of spinal decompression from my own doctor, who was treated successfully for his sciatic pain with spinal decompression. After 10 sessions my back pain was noticeably less and after the 20 session program I am completely pain free. I am ecstatic to have my quality of life back. I have much admiration for the doctors and their dedicated team. I feel I must pass on this positive experience so others may also benefit.

Bridget

For me, taking this spinal decompression program has been a huge success. I have a normal life back. The best part of it is to be able to say…I remember when I had a herniated disc.

Joan R.

The best move I made was to phone the Spinal Decompression Institute to make my first appointment. The end result was the relief of my lower back pain. From Day One I experienced a steady improvement. Today I feel so much better and hope to participate in my former favorite activities soon. My sincere thanks for the wonderful professional treatment I was afforded at all times, in a relaxed and positive atmosphere. The encouragement and support made the therapy a success.
