Overview

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, Done Right

Low back pain, disc herniation, sciatica, or chronic lumbar conditions deserve a specialist-level evaluation, not a generic protocol. At One Neurospine Health, low back pain is treated as a specialist-level concern — a thorough evaluation of the structural, functional, neurologic, and pain-system contributors, built around non-surgical spinal decompression as the core of care.

This isn’t a generic “core strengthening” program. It’s a comprehensive, evaluation-driven treatment program for patients who want answers, not just temporary relief — coordinated by a Doctor of Chiropractic, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and a dedicated care coordinator.

YOUR DIAGNOSIS

Common Diagnoses We Work With:

Low back pain (acute or chronic)
Disc herniation
Disc bulge
Sciatica or radiating leg pain
Lumbar radiculopathy
Degenerative disc disease
Lumbar stenosis
SI joint dysfunction
Failed prior treatment for low back pain
Post-surgical low back symptoms
Patients who have been told surgery is their only option and want a conservative evaluation first

How the Program Works

Your Path, Step by Step

From your first consultation to ongoing care coordination, here’s exactly what to expect.

Programs & Tracks Request an Evaluation

STEP 01

Consultation

A detailed history of your pain — onset, mechanism, radiation pattern, posture, and movement triggers.

STEP 02

Examination

Orthopedic and neurologic assessment, disc provocation testing, and movement/functional assessment.

STEP 03

Imaging

Review of prior MRI/X-ray, with advanced imaging ordered as clinically indicated.

STEP 04

Diagnosis

A clear explanation of whether your symptoms are disc-related, nerve-related, joint-related, or a combination.

STEP 05

Treatment

A specific, evidence-based plan built around non-surgical spinal decompression, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation.

STEP 06

Care Coordination

Ongoing progress monitoring, with referral to surgical consultation or pain management if ever indicated.

Evaluation

Low back pain is rarely simple. The goal of the evaluation is to identify whether symptoms are disc-related, nerve-related, joint-related, muscular, movement-based, pain-system related, or a combination — before recommending treatment. The evaluation includes:

Detailed history: onset, mechanism, radiation pattern, posture, movement triggers
Orthopedic and neurologic assessment
Disc provocation testing
Movement and functional assessment
Review of prior imaging (MRI, X-ray)
Advanced imaging as clinically indicated
Pain and movement-sensitivity assessment
Functional capacity and tolerance assessment

Treatment

Based on the findings, care is built around a specific, evidence-based plan centered on spinal decompression, which may include:

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy
Chiropractic care: specific lumbar adjusting, distraction, or instrument-based techniques
DPT-led lumbar stabilization and core rehabilitation
Disc-specific rehabilitation protocols
Neural mobilization and sciatic nerve rehabilitation
Postural and movement retraining
Return-to-activity and performance progression
Referral for surgical consultation or pain management when indicated

ONE COORDINATED TEAM

Managed by a Doctor of Chiropractic, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and a Care Coordinator

Request an Evaluation

Doctor of Chiropractic

Decompression & Chiropractic Care

Leads the evaluation, confirms candidacy for spinal decompression, and delivers specific chiropractic care alongside each decompression session.

Doctor of Physical Therapy

Stabilization & Rehabilitation

Builds core and lumbar strength, retrains movement patterns, and guides your return to activity between and after decompression sessions.

Specialty Care Coordinator

Manages Your Plan End to End

Schedules sessions, tracks progress, and coordinates referral to surgical consultation or pain management if your plan ever calls for it.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is non-surgical spinal decompression?

A gentle, controlled traction therapy that applies a precise distraction force to the spine to reduce pressure on an affected disc and nerve, without surgery or injections.

Does it hurt?

Decompression is designed to be gentle and controlled. Most patients find sessions comfortable, and some notice relief during or shortly after early sessions.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your findings. Most decompression programs involve a series of sessions over several weeks — we'll outline an expected plan after your evaluation.

Am I a candidate?

Many patients with disc herniation, bulging discs, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease are candidates. Your evaluation will confirm whether decompression is appropriate for your specific case.

I was told surgery is my only option — can I still be evaluated?

Yes. Many patients come to us specifically for a conservative evaluation before considering surgery. If surgery is genuinely the best path for you, we'll tell you and help coordinate that referral.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required to schedule an evaluation.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention.

If you experience loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs (saddle numbness), or rapidly progressing leg weakness, seek emergency care immediately. These can be signs of a serious spinal emergency. One Neurospine Health treats chronic and structural low back symptoms and does not replace emergency evaluation.t

HEAR FROM OUR PATIENTS

"After eight months of being told my scans were normal, someone finally looked at my neck the way it moves — not just a single still picture. That's when things started to make sense."
