What conditions may spinal decompression therapy address?
Neck pain, disc bulges, sciatica symptoms, and back pain may be considered for spinal decompression therapy after an exam. Suitability depends on your health history, symptoms, movement, and clinical findings. Advanced Injury Care Clinic reviews those details before recommending care. The plan may also include corrective exercises, adjustments, or rehabilitation when those options better match your needs.
What should be checked before spinal decompression therapy is scheduled?
A health history and physical exam should guide the decision before treatment is scheduled. The review covers symptoms, prior injuries, movement, and relevant medical information. X-rays may be considered if clinically indicated. Bring available records or imaging reports, and tell our team about changes in strength, sensation, or coordination before care begins.
Who is a good fit for spinal decompression therapy, and who needs a different service?
Patients with suitable disc-related or spinal symptoms may fit this care, while other findings may require a different evaluation. The assessment guides that choice. Our team considers your symptoms, history, movement, and exam results before recommending treatment. Severe or unusual symptoms should receive medical attention before a decompression plan is discussed.
How does spinal decompression differ from a chiropractic adjustment?
Spinal decompression uses controlled traction, while a chiropractic adjustment uses a specific manual joint technique. Both may appear in one personalized plan when the exam supports them. Decompression focuses on table-based spinal movement, while adjustments address joint motion. Our team explains which method fits the findings and your recovery goals.
Which part of care changes the final cost?
The assessment and the treatment methods included in your plan are the main cost drivers. A plan with spinal decompression alone differs from one that also includes adjustments, exercises, modalities, or rehabilitation. Ask for a review of the recommended care before starting, so you understand what each part addresses.
Why might disc-related symptoms need more than table-based traction?
Disc-related symptoms may need more than traction when movement limits, muscle weakness, or injury factors affect recovery. The exam helps identify those concerns. Our team may add corrective exercises, soft tissue therapy, adjustments, or rehabilitation when they fit the findings. Results vary, so progress is reviewed as care continues.
What should I bring to my first appointment in Hendersonville?
Bring available health records, imaging reports, medication details, and information about the injury or symptom pattern. Those details help our team understand the condition before treatment planning. A clear account of what worsens or eases symptoms also supports the exam. The first visit focuses on assessment and suitable next steps.
