What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled stretching of the spine. Patients at Aguilera Health & Wellness Center mention it in their reviews. It is not right for every back problem, so the doctor checks first.

Who may be a candidate?

Decompression is usually considered for some disc pain, pinched nerves and sciatica. Dr. Aguilera decides after the exam whether it fits your condition, and explains why or why not.
