Initial assessment

Bryan, a 42-year-old construction worker, came to our clinic after experiencing persistent lower back pain for six months. The pain originated from a car accident that resulted in a herniated disc, making it difficult for him to perform daily activities and work. Traditional pain management methods, including medication and physical therapy, provided only temporary relief. After a thorough examination, we identified spinal decompression therapy as the most suitable treatment for his condition.

Techniques and approaches

We recommended a 12-week spinal decompression therapy program to address Bryan’s condition. The treatment involved gentle, controlled stretching of the spine using a specialized decompression table to relieve pressure on the affected disc and promote healing. Sessions were scheduled three times a week, complemented by chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic exercises tailored to strengthen his core and support spinal stability.

  • Utilized a specialized decompression table for controlled spinal stretching
  • Scheduled three sessions per week for consistency and progress
  • Incorporated chiropractic adjustments to enhance spinal alignment
  • Implemented therapeutic exercises to strengthen core muscles and support spinal health
  • Monitored progress regularly to adjust treatment as needed

Progress and outcomes

Within the first three weeks, Bryan reported a significant reduction in pain intensity and improved mobility. By week six, he was able to return to light-duty work, and by the end of the 12-week program, his pain had decreased by 80%. Follow-up evaluations showed increased disc height and reduced nerve compression, confirming the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy.

Bryan’s case demonstrates how spinal decompression therapy can provide long-term relief for patients suffering from accident-related injuries.
