NSSD treatment | how non-surgical decompression fits
D.C., Chiropractor, Cary H. Rothenberg. Professional license 15265498.
NSSD refers to non-surgical decompression approaches used in conservative care when appropriate. Evaluation reviews symptoms, exam, and studies if you bring them. Visit count follows the exam.

What to know
NSSD is a modality, not a promise. Evaluation confirms whether your symptoms and exam fit what the clinic documents in its scope of practice.
When to book evaluation
- A clinician or imaging report mentioned non-surgical decompression and you want the in-office scope explained.
- Lumbar or cervical symptoms that need exam before any modality is scheduled.
- You want to know whether decompression fits your case, not from a brochure alone.
- Recent studies you can bring for review in the visit.
Do not book here for loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the genital or anal area, leg weakness that is getting worse, or pain after a major injury. That is an emergency.
