My name is Dr. David Wade D.C., clinic director of the Anniston Chiropractic in Anniston, AL. I have been working since 1984 to help find pain relief solutions for countless patients. I understand what it feels like to live in pain, because I see it every day.
I’ve seen hundreds of people from Heflin to Pell City, Talladega to Jacksonville, and Gadsden to Piedmont with disc herniations and sciatica leave the office pain-free.
When cushions in your back joints, called discs, get injured or wear out, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. Very Painful!
The most common invasive treatment for disc herniations is surgery. Even with health insurance the patient is left with their own portion of the bill, in excess of $10,000-$15,000, and sometimes more.
In addition, the recovery time and missed work can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months, not to mention the obvious severe risks associated with all surgeries.
Before You Go Under The Knife And Opt For Spinal Surgery…
You should seriously consider a less invasive approach called spinal decompression.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new technology that has been proven to help disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing.
The conditions this amazing treatment has proven successful are:
- Herniated and/or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- A relapse or failure following certain surgeries
- Lumbar Facet syndromes
- Proof This Treatment Works
While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, there’s plenty of research to back up its claims. Here’s just a handful of scientific studies…
“We thus submit that decompression therapy should be considered first, before the patient undergoes a surgical procedure which permanently alters the anatomy and function of the affected lumbar spine segment.” – Journal Of Neuroscience Research.
“86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms” -Orthopedic Technology Review.
“vertebral axial [spinal] decompression was successful in 71% of the 778 cases” -Journal of Neurological Research.
“good to excellent” relief in 86% patients with Herniated discs” -The American Journal of Pain Management.
“decompression therapy reported a 76.5% with complete remission and 19.6% with partial remission of pain and disability” – Rio Grande Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery.
Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed…
“Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function…No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g., epidural injections, surgery).”
As you can see, spinal decompression has a high success rate. What this means for you is that in just a matter of weeks, you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

Spinal Decompression Frequently Asked Questions
What is nonsurgical spinal decompression?
Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a conservative treatment that uses controlled mechanical traction to gently apply forces to the spine. It may be considered for certain patients with back or neck problems, including some disc-related conditions. The goal is to provide a controlled treatment environment based on the patient’s individual findings without surgery or injections. An examination is necessary to determine whether decompression is appropriate.
How does spinal decompression work?
A spinal decompression system applies controlled traction to selected areas of the spine. The amount and pattern of force can be adjusted according to the patient’s condition and treatment plan. Decompression is intended to alter mechanical loading of the treated spinal area and may be incorporated with other forms of conservative care. How an individual responds varies, so treatment recommendations are based on examination findings and ongoing assessment.
What conditions may be considered for decompression care?
Spinal decompression may be considered for selected patients with certain disc-related conditions and other mechanical spinal problems. Symptoms such as back or neck pain and radiating arm or leg symptoms may sometimes lead to an evaluation for decompression. However, symptoms alone do not determine whether someone is a candidate. The underlying condition, health history, examination findings, and any relevant imaging must be considered before treatment is recommended.
Who should not receive spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is not appropriate for everyone. Certain fractures, significant spinal instability, some bone diseases, infections, tumors, or other medical or structural conditions may make decompression inappropriate or require additional medical evaluation. Previous spinal procedures and other health conditions may also affect treatment decisions. Dr. Wade will review your history and examination findings to determine whether decompression can be considered safely.
Is spinal decompression painful?
Spinal decompression is generally intended to be a controlled and tolerable procedure. Patients may notice stretching or pressure during treatment, and individual experiences can vary. You should tell the clinical team if you experience significant pain, worsening radiating symptoms, or other unusual discomfort so the treatment can be modified or stopped when appropriate.
How long does a decompression session take?
Session length can vary depending on the equipment used, the area being treated, and the patient’s individualized treatment protocol. If decompression is recommended, the Anniston Chiropractic team can explain how long your particular sessions are expected to take and whether other procedures will be performed during the same appointment.
How many sessions may be recommended?
There is no single number of decompression sessions that is appropriate for every patient. Recommendations depend on factors such as the condition being treated, severity and duration of symptoms, examination findings, overall health, treatment goals, and response to care. Progress should be monitored so the plan can be adjusted when appropriate.
Is decompression the same as ordinary traction?
Not necessarily. Although both approaches involve applying traction forces to the spine, nonsurgical spinal decompression generally refers to treatment delivered using equipment designed to provide controlled mechanical traction according to a specific protocol. The terminology and equipment can vary, so patients should ask what type of traction is being recommended, why it is being used, and how it relates to their individual findings.
Will decompression replace chiropractic adjustments or exercises?
Not necessarily. When decompression is appropriate, it may be one component of a broader conservative care plan. Depending on the patient’s findings, recommendations may also include chiropractic care, exercises, mobility or strengthening work, posture-related strategies, or other appropriate procedures. Not every patient requires the same combination of treatments.
How will you determine whether I am a candidate?
Determining whether decompression is appropriate begins with your health history and an examination. Dr. Wade will consider your symptoms, physical and neurological findings, previous injuries or procedures, relevant medical conditions, and available imaging when appropriate. If additional diagnostic information is necessary before making a recommendation, that should be addressed first.
How will progress be measured?
Progress may be evaluated by monitoring changes in symptoms and function as well as relevant examination findings. This can include your ability to perform everyday activities, changes in radiating symptoms, mobility, neurological findings, and other measurements appropriate to your condition. Periodic reassessment helps determine whether treatment should continue, be modified, or whether another approach should be considered.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Results from nonsurgical spinal decompression—or any other conservative treatment—cannot be guaranteed. Individual outcomes vary according to the condition being treated, severity and duration of the problem, overall health, adherence to recommendations, and many other factors. Decompression should only be recommended when examination findings indicate that it may be appropriate, and progress should be monitored throughout care.
