Stand Up To Sciatica

Patient Success S P O T L I G H T

My quality of life is better! “Been a patient here for 10 years. I stumbled in there with severe sciatic pain in both hips and Dr. Allen had me much improved in a few visits. He has been taking care of my spine from my neck to my lower spine for years now. He and his staff are competent and caring and make each patient feel special. The clinic has evolved to provide more complete care for the patients and address many medical issues. I can say I would be in a wheelchair by now if I had not finally found proper treatment here. I cannot be “fixed” as I have a rare spine disorder but my quality of life is better because of the treatments received here. Other specialists have failed me or ignored my issues. Love these folks!” - D.P.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Herniated or bulging discs can put pressure on the spinal nerves, resulting in pain down the back and legs. At Riverside Spine & Physical Medicine, we offer nonsurgical decompression to relieve this pressure and alleviate associated pain. Unlike more invasive options, spinal decompression requires little to no recovery time or powerful pain medications—so you can enjoy the results and continue to perform your daily activities. Spinal decompression uses mechanical traction to gently stretch the spine. During this procedure, you will lay on a special table while our healthcare professional controls the traction device through a computer. A session typically consists of 15 one-minute periods of decompression with a relaxation cycle in between, for a total of 30 minutes. Nonsurgical decompression causes a vacuum-like effect, which allows any leaking tissue to return to the spinal disc. The vacuum also increases blood circulation in the spine, which brings nutrients and oxygen necessary for healing. Patients report that decompression is a pain-free procedure; in fact, some even fall asleep during their session.
