Spine
Non-surgical spinal decompression (NSSD)
D.C., Chiropractor, Cary H. Rothenberg. Professional license 15265498.
Non-surgical decompression aims to reduce mechanical load on the spine when appropriate. Evaluation reviews symptoms, exam, and studies if you bring them. Program follows the evaluation.

What to know
This approach is conservative and in-office. It is considered after history and exam, not from a brochure alone.
When evaluation helps
- You read about non-surgical decompression and need a clinical match to your symptoms.
- Persistent leg or arm symptoms without emergency red flags.
- Imaging you can bring so the visit can connect report language to exam.
- You want conservative options explained before any modality is chosen.
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.
