When building a home, a solid foundation must be laid before the walls and roof are put up. When treating a chronic back or neck condition, developing a strong foundation is important as well. Non-surgical spinal decompression helps develop this foundation. Once this foundation has been laid, it is time to build up the supporting structures, often referred to as core strength and stability training.

While spinal decompression helps to relieve the symptoms associated with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and posterior facet syndrome, it does not help to strengthen the core muscles.

When you suffer a disc injury, the supporting muscles tighten, even to the point of spasm. Over time, muscle fatigue and weakness can develop as well as a significant decrease in flexibility. In order to help you avoid re-injury, these core muscles must be strengthened appropriately and improved flexibility must be achieved. In addition to strength and flexibility, improved stability must be developed.

Our staff will work with you to customize a program that will help improve your strength, stability, and flexibility.  We will work with you hands-on, guiding you through specific exercises and developing an at-home program that will help you continue your progress in the weeks and months ahead.

Getting back to an active life is the goal of most patients. Establishing a solid foundation and building strong supporting structures will get you back on the golf course, out on the dance floor, or even just walking around the neighborhood again.
