WELCOME!
You've probably seen the newspaper ads that "hype"
Spinal Decompression Therapy asking you to call some unknown doctor's office
in order to receive a free report in the mail. We do not believe anyone
should have to do that!
Our website will give you the complete facts
about Spinal Decompression Therapy including
clinic
trials that support its effectiveness.
And we will also tell you the approximate treatment
cost. We do that so you will be better able to make an informed decision
about what you should do for your condition and because our fees are a fraction
of what some other clinics charge.
For additional information, please
call our office at 252-430-8000
and ask to talk to Dr. Brandon Taylor. That's
right, I'll talk to you personally in order to help you make the right
decision.
THANKS FOR
VISITING!

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS |
What
is Spinal Decompression Therapy? |
 |
Spinal decompression
therapy is a non-surgical traction based treatment outcome for herniated
or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. Anyone who has back, neck, arm
or leg pain may be helped by spinal decompression
therapy. |
|
How
many
spinal
decompression sessions will be needed and are they
painful? |
The number of sessions
needed and your specific treatment plan will be determined by the doctor
after your examination.
In almost all cases,
the treatments are completely painless. In fact, some patients fall
asleep during the spinal decompression session. |
|
|
What type of decompression system is used and are the doctors certified in spinal decompression therapy?
|
|
After a significant amount of research, Henderson Wellness Center chose the Kennedy Decompression Neural-Flex System, which we believe is the most technologically advanced, state-of-the-art decompression system in the world. 
We also selected
this decompression system due to its ability to treat discs in both the neck
and the low back.
In regard
to clinical skills, Dr. Brandon Taylor completed
the Kennedy Decompression Technique course work and passed the qualifying
examination to achieve the status of "Certified Practitioner" in spinal
decompression therapy. |
|
What
Makes Spinal Decompression Therapy so
Effective? |
| Doctor skill
combined with the table and computerized traction head are the keys.
Proper assessment,
correct positioning and the use of preprogrammed patterns of distraction
and relaxation may reduce disc pressure allowing necessary nutrients to enliven
and accelerate disc healing. |
 |
|
Who
can benefit from Spinal Decompression
Therapy? |
 |
Anyone who has
back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be
helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include herniated,
protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or even failed surgery.
|
|
Are
there medical studies that document the effectiveness of Spinal Decompression
Therapy? |
 Yes!
One
study documented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10
of 14 cases and other studies reported that the majority of ruptured disc
patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal decompression
therapy.

here if you would like to review the studies yourself or
click
here to read an article about spinal decompression that appeared in "To
Your Health" Magazine. |
Are
there conditions where Spinal Decompression Therapy is not indicated?
|
|
Spinal decompression
therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, patients who have severe
osteoporosis, severe obesity or severe nerve damage.
Spinal surgery with
instrumentation (screws, metal plates or “cages”) is also
contraindicated. However, spinal decompression therapy after bone fusion
or non-fusion surgery, can be performed. |
|
Are
the sessions painful, how many will be needed and what is the
cost? |
| Our customary
fee for each spinal decompression session is only $65, which
means the total cost will be a small fraction of the $5,000+ amounts that
some other doctors are charging.
If your insurance
company covers spinal decompression therapy, reimbursement varies but your
out-of-pocket expense for all needed services could be as little as your
co-payment.
If not covered by
insurance, we offer CareCredit that will allow you to make 6
monthly payments with no interest. To apply for financing online
and get instant approval in advance, just go to
CareCredit.com. |

|
Do
most patients receive therapy and rehabilitative exercises in addition to
Spinal Decompression Therapy? |
|
To reduce
inflammation and assist the healing process, supporting structures are treated
with passive therapies such as ice/heat/muscle stimulation, accupuncture,
chiropractic adjustments (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation
in order to strengthen the spinal musculature. |
|
