We specialize in the treatment of sciatic pain relief. We use the DRX9000 Non Surgical Spinal Decompression machine, which has been cleared by the FDA. Many patients have been able to avoid back surgery with the our treatment for sciatica and disc bulges, herniations and pinched nerves among other things. We also use MedX rehabilitation for strengthening exercises and Cold Laser as part of the treatment for sciatica. MedPay, Work Comp and some Ins pay for Spinal Decompression treatment.
