We have become known for our unique 3 step approach to treating back pain and sciatic-type pain. We have treated thousands of patients and have successfully reduced or eliminated pain in the majority of our patients. We specialize in working with patients who have back pain or pain radiating into the buttocks and/or legs by relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerve root using a three part process.

First, we use manual techniques such as spinal mobilizations and myofascial release to increase the mobility of the spine and reduce muscle spasms to relax certain muscles that are causing pain. We also use positional techniques that reduce pressure on the nerve root which relieves much of the pain by allowing the disc material to move back to the correct position. Core stabilization exercises are added to improve posture and help take the stress off of spinal structures.

Second, we utilize computer decompression to gently reposition the spinal disc material which can take the pressure off of the nerves that are causing pain.

Lastly, the Aquatic portion of this program includes gentle spinal decompression in the deep end of our pool. Through the use of ankle weights and floats, we get a gentle stretch of the spine, while the warm water helps to relax the muscles surrounding the spine. Various strengthening exercises are added based on the individual needs of each patient.
