Spinal Decompression NJ

Has back pain limited your ability to work, play with your kids, go to parties, or just have fun? Back pain can change your life for the worst. Dr. David Podell DC in NJ uses spinal decompression to effectively treat back pain and can make a difference in your life.

Back pain is one of the most common types of pain affecting millions of Americans. Treatments generally help alleviate pain by treating the pain itself. However, spinal decompression is one of the few treatments that actually treat the source of the pain. When discs in the spine slip out of alignment, they can pinch on nerves and cause tremendous pain in the neck, back, and legs. Spinal decompression therapy works by creating negative tension inside discs. The result is a vacuum effect whereby slipped or bulging pieces are drawn back into the disc. Spinal decompression has been used as an alternative to surgery and is both safe and painless.
