WELCOME!
You've probably seen the newspaper ads that "hype" Spinal Decompression Therapy asking you to call some unknown doctor's office in order to receive a free
report in the mail. We do not believe anyone should have to do that!
Our website will give you the complete facts about Spinal Decompression Therapy including clinic trials that support its effectiveness.
And we will also tell you the approximate treatment cost. We do that so you will be better able to make an informed decision about what you should do for your
condition and because our fees are a fraction of what some other clinics charge.
If you need any additional information, please call our office at 435-586-7575 and ask to talk to the doctor. That's right, I'll talk to you personally in order to help
you make the right decision.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical traction based treatment outcome for herniated or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. Anyone who has back,
neck, arm or leg pain may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, some patients fall
asleep during the spinal decompression session.
What type of decompression system is used and is the doctor certified in spinal decompression therapy?
After a significant amount of research, our office chose what we believe to be the most
sophisticated, technologically advanced, state-of-the-art decompression system in the world.
We also selected this decompression system due to its ability to treat discs in both the neck
and the low back.
In regard to clinical skills, Dr. Rebecca Whittaker and Dr. Tyler Whittaker completed the
Kennedy Decompression Technique course work and passed the qualifying examination to
achieve the status of "Certified Practitioner" in spinal decompression therapy.
What Makes Spinal Decompression Therapy so Effective?
Doctor skill combined with the table and computerized traction head are the keys.
Proper assessment, correct positioning and the use of preprogrammed patterns of distraction
and relaxation may reduce disc pressure allowing necessary nutrients to enliven and
accelerate disc healing.
Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be
helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include herniated, protruding or
bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or even failed surgery.
Are there medical studies that document the effectiveness of Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Yes! One study documented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10 of 14 cases and other studies reported that the
majority of ruptured disc patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal decompression therapy.
if you would like to review the studies yourself or
to read an article about spinal decompression that appeared in
"To Your Health" Magazine.
Are there conditions where Spinal Decompression Therapy is not indicated?
Spinal decompression therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, patients who have severe osteoporosis, severe obesity or
severe nerve damage.
Spinal surgery with instrumentation (screws, metal plates or “cages”) is also contraindicated. However, spinal decompression therapy
after bone fusion or non-fusion surgery, can be performed.
Are the sessions painful, how many will be needed and what is the cost?
Our customary fee for each spinal decompression session is only $60 which means the total cost will be a small fraction of the $5,000+ amounts that some other
doctors are charging. (usually 10 to 12 treatments) If your insurance company covers spinal decompression therapy, reimbursement varies but your out-of-pocket
expense for all needed services could be as little as your co-payment.
Do most patients receive therapy and rehabilitative exercises in addition to Spinal Decompression Therapy?
To reduce inflammation and assist the healing process, supporting structures are treated with passive therapies (ice/heat/muscle stimulation), chiropractic
adjustments (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation in order to strengthen the spinal musculature.
How do I get started?
