NECK & BACK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

*Why is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression at Cooper Chiropractic Center (CCC) better for me than other surgical options or epidurals? At CCC, we use technologically advanced, non-surgical procedures to treat spinal conditions with no blood loss, no scarring, no scar tissue, no prescribed pain injections and we do not use anything to cause any potential problems such as hardware.

*What are the risks of your Non-surgical Decompression procedures? There are no risks for neck or back procedures.  Our procedures are non-surgical and require no small incisions, there is no general anesthesia used which can be high risk in some patients and there is no risk of infection associated with non-surgical spinal decompression.

*I have spinal stenosis or foraminal stenosis, can I be helped? Yes, our procedures work well for these conditions.  CCC can remove impingements to the spinal or forminal canal and remove pressure from the nerve, thereby relieving the pain and symptoms.

*How many IDD treatments will I require to solve my back or neck pain? Back and neck pain is very individualized as to how many procedures will be needed.  During the initial evaluation, it will be determined how many levels of damage you have that are causing symptoms.  In most cases, problems are found at multiple levels, but only one or two of them may be causing symptoms.

Those patients who have multiple pathologies occurring at once may require a combination of techniques that include, for example, spinal decompression, progressive rehabilitation and chiropractic.  These procedures can be done concurrently by Dr. Cooper at CCC so that your ability to saving time and costs are kept to a minimum.

*Can you help me if I have had failed open back surgery? Yes, we typically can—in fact, a large percentage of our patients have had failed back or neck surgery in the past or have a new spine condition due to fusions. Dr. Cooper can correct most spinal conditions.  Scar tissue development from a previous open back surgery can also cause new and painful spine conditions and can be worked around at CCC.

GENERAL

*What do I have to do to find out  if I am a candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression? After you have completed the first step of your initial consult and exam, Dr. Cooper will review your MRI or CAT Scan and correlate them with your consult and exam findings to determine if you are a candidate for the non-surgical decompression procedure.

*What are my limitations after IDD Treatments and how long will I be out of work? Dr. Cooper recommends that a patient returns to normal activities gradually to allow maximum healing.  Patients that have desk jobs can normally return to work without restrictions.  Patients who with physically strenuous jobs, should wait two weeks depending on the job.  You may return to work with restrictions for those first two weeks and then return to normal activity thereafter.

*Why don’t more chiropractors use this type of procedure? This is a sophisticated procedure and it takes many hours of learning and training.  Dr. Cooper is on the cutting edge of chiropractic procedures and non- surgical spinal decompression technology and CCC is at the forefront of this movement.  Dr. Cooper sees this changing in the future as this will become the standard of practice for non-surgical intervention of spinal conditions throughout the world.  Until then, CCC is here to relieve the pain and suffering of people with spine conditions with the most effective, efficient and gentlest methods possible.

*Why aren’t more chiropractors around the area using this type of procedure? Due to the nature of the procedure and the costs it takes a highly skilled and well trained chiropractor with their trained assistant to utilize the non-surgical procedure.

*Is this procedure considered experimental?  No.  This is a FDA cleared procedure and has been performed by certified doctors for over a decade with an incredible success rate.

*Is my bulging disc or herniation going to be removed?  No.  In most cases we are able to open or widen the disc spaces to alleviate the pressure on the nerves without removing the disc.

*What is done to help the small percentage of patients that do not get any relief? After appropriate plan of care is followed for each patient not experiencing relief over a period of time at the re-evaluation, it will be determined if a patient needs to be released from care.

*How does non-surgical decompression at Dr. Cooper’s differ from what is offered by other chiropractors? Dr. Cooper is offering the FDA cleared non-surgical procedures which can more specifically target the disc compared to traction or inversion tables which traction out the entire spine.  CCC stands out due to our level of expertise, our professional and caring staff, and our state-of-art facility.

Welcome to our spinal decompression website.

Spinal decompression has been around for a while. It doesn’t appear to be  used in this area for some odd reason. It is super effective for:

• DISC DEGENERATION

• STENOSIS

• RUPTURED DISC

• HERNIATED OR BULGING DISC

• SCIATICA

• FAILED BACK SURGERY

The discs in our back are under a ‘COMPRESSIVE LOAD’. This constant load will wear on the disc. Think of a disc like a jelly donut. If you push down on the donut, the jelly squirts out. This is like a disc that herniated. When the disc bulges or herniates, it puts pressure on the nerves and / or spinal cord. That is when you get the pain, burning, numbness, or tingling that shoots down the leg(s).

We like to think of spinal decompression as a great alternative to surgery. It’s effective, affordable, and safe. Some studies report that 85% of patients feel better after decompression!

When the spine is decompressed it create’s a ‘pumping action’ within the disc. This pumping of the disc will help the disc slowly rehydrate, plus it creates a negative pressure inside the disc which helps pull the herniation off the nerves.

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT THAN ALL OTHERS?

We use neuromuscular re-education and supplemental enhanced oxygen with our spinal decompression. Your nervous system needs oxygen to function properly. Therefore, it’s the combination that helps you GET WELL FASTER.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Most sessions will take about 20 minutes. Usually there are around 20 to 24 visits over a 2 to 3 month time frame.

Call our office today at 606 679 1166 and tell my staff you would like a no obligation consultation to see if you are a candidate for this unique effective therapy!!
