Spinal Decompression

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy

You’ve probably heard about spinal decompression as a safe, gentle and effective alternative to back surgery. At Newport Center Family Chiropractic, we help ease your pain and heal your back using the latest Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy technology to treat herniated or bulging disks, and sciatica.

Until recently, if you suffered from any of these painful conditions, your options were limited. Pain medications, physical therapy, cortisone injections or surgery may not have worked for you. In some cases, you had no choice but to live with the pain.

Today we use spinal decompression treatments with high success for our patients. In most cases, the reduction of pain is so significant they can return to more active lifestyles — some for the first time in years!

Testimonials

Dr Michael Lea and Lauryn are an incredible team. They have built this business together thoughtfully and with intention, and it shows in the excellence of care they provide. Dr Lea has provided me over 6 months of care to address my chronic health issues that I have been trying to resolve for over 10 years. I’ve seen countless physicians, PTs, chiropractors, etc – and lost faith in the possibility of ever really getting better (therefore, I follow through fairly poorly in what I was being offered). But after 6 months of consistent upper cervical care, the proof is in the pudding: my pre-treatment and post-treatment x-rays are drastically different. My skull, jaw, and pelvis are more aligned/level, my cervical and lumbar spine disc spaces have increased, and I’m putting more equal weight through my feet. I will be honest- even though I’m a medical professional myself and upper cervical care is evidence-based, I didn’t think it would work for me (mostly because nothing else ever has). But, I’m grateful for this improvement, and for the functional outcomes that are starting to bloom, like less headaches. I super appreciate Dr Lea’s model – let’s start with getting good data about your body (functional assessment, weight plates, x-rays, thermographic scan of your spine), decide if you even need upper cervical care – then start with frequent, consistent care, reassess after a period of time, and then decrease frequency, hopefully getting to a point where you need less and less care. I’ve been to so many doctors that just use me to fill their schedules- they provide a formulaic treatment and they never reassess to see if it’s working. Dr Lea and his team know what they’re doing. They’re bright, they’re person-centered, they’re kind, and they’re your kind of people. Trust me.

More about Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression slowly relaxes and stretches the spine, removing the downward forces of gravity and creating a vacuum that allows oxygen and nutrients to flow back into the disks and begin the healing process. Patients simply lie down on the state of the art Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy for 20 minutes per session. Some people read, relax or meditate — others have been known to fall asleep!

This FDA-cleared procedure is gentle and comfortable — with minimal risks and minimal side effects. We’ve performed it many, many times in our office and have had tremendous success treating all types of disc damage.
