How Our Spinal Decompression Therapy Plan Works
1. Feel & Move Better
Once you start Chiropractic care, you begin a journey to stabilize your problems, stop the damage, and start the healing. Another great side effect of the initial intensive care is that you begin to feel better, sleep better, and move better.
2. Fix Your Problem
The second stage is the Corrective Phase, where we fix your problem by re-training your spine and body to get you healthier and stronger so that you can enjoy doing the things you want to and have to without experiencing a relapse every time you try to use your body.
3. Get Your Mojo Back
The third stage is the Protective Stage, also known as wellness or maintenance care. This stage helps you protect and maintain your new levels of strength, health, and function, preventing you from slipping backward as you enjoy, engage in your best life, and get your mojo back!
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Imagine your spine as a tall stack of building blocks. When one of these blocks shifts or compresses due to injury or degeneration, it can pinch nerves, cause inflammation, and lead to intense pain. Spinal Decompression Therapy acts like a gentle elevator, gradually lifting the pressure off these “blocks,” allowing healing nutrients and oxygen to flow into damaged discs and tissues.
This non-surgical, traction-based therapy relieves pain and addresses the root cause of spinal issues, including herniated discs, sciatica, and more. By gently stretching the spine, we create negative pressure within the discs, encouraging the retraction of bulging or herniated material and promoting long-term recovery.
Spinal Decompression therapy is an innovative and non-surgical treatment for disc injuries resulting in neck, back, and limb pain. Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to help patients who suffer from disc problems including disc bulge, disc herniation, disc protrusion, annular tears, foraminal stenosis, degenerative disc disease in the neck (cervical spine) or low back (lumbar spine). Symptoms may include neck or back pain, arm, leg pain or numbness. This may include painful sciatica, numbness in the legs or feet, or numbing carpal tunnel like symptoms. Spinal decompression also benefits individuals with facet syndrome, where the spinal joints are inflamed and not functioning well.
Why Choose Spinal Decompression Therapy Now?
Every day spent in pain is a missed opportunity to live fully. Spinal Decompression Therapy provides an alternative to invasive procedures and their often life-limiting consequences. Consider this:
Avoid Addictive Pain Medications: Spinal decompression addresses the root cause of your pain rather than masking it with medications.
Bypass Risky Epidural Injections or Surgery: Many patients turn to spinal decompression as a last resort after failed surgeries or limited results from injections.
Prevent Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Back surgery doesn’t always work and may leave patients with continued pain or restricted mobility. Spinal decompression offers a proven path to relief without the risks of surgery.
Dr. Eric Janowitz has decades of experience helping patients find success with Spinal Decompression Therapy. Why settle for risky options when you can start with a non-invasive, expertly delivered treatment?

How does Spinal Decompression work and what will I feel?
Patients lie on the Decompression Table and are placed in the most comfortable position. With our special Kennedy Decompression table, we are not limited to only placing the patient in the way the table can only do, but rather we can set the patient up for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Decompression therapy has three main objectives:
1. The computerized process involves a series of gentle stretches that separate the vertebrae freeing the trapped or pinched nerve to have more space thus alleviating many of the symptoms.
2. Spinal Decompression causes negative pressure in the disc which can result in the protruded or herniated to be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc, and permit healing to occur.
3. The gentle pumping action utilized by the Decompression Table helps re-hydrate and re-nourish the damaged disc.
Although these changes are almost imperceptible after each treatment, over time, the results are truly remarkable. At the same time, we are able to use electrical muscle stimulation and ice therapy to decrease any muscle pain or spasm and reduce pain causing inflammation.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your Spinal Decompression Therapy journey includes:
- Personalized Assessment: A thorough evaluation to determine the best course of action for your condition.

Most patients experience noticeable improvements within a few sessions and can often return to daily activities immediately, free from downtime.
Do I Qualify for Spinal Decompression?
While not all patients qualify for this type of care, Spinal Decompression Therapy is ideal for patients who have disc problems (disc bulge, disc herniation, disc protrusion, degenerative disc disease, foraminal stenosis, annual tears) that are prohibiting them from achieving their maximum health potential and keeping them from participating in activities they enjoy such as golfing. This therapy can take them to next level in healing and avoiding potentially dangerous spinal injections (steroid epidurals) or surgery. Dr. Eric Janowitz and his team will provide you and your family with some of the most advanced technology available for health and wellness – While simultaneously giving you true “Old Fashioned Care.”
