Spinal Decompression Near Palm Springs, FL

Spinal decompression therapy near Palm Springs is available at Cobblestone Spine on Okeechobee Blvd, 15 to 18 minutes northwest on Military Trail. This motorized traction therapy creates negative intradiscal pressure that allows herniated and degenerative disc material to retract, reducing nerve compression without surgery. It is the non-surgical intervention for disc conditions before a surgical commitment is made.

Palm Springs residents in physically demanding trades have higher rates of lumbar disc injury than the general population. Sustained lifting, repetitive flexion-extension loading, and prolonged vibration from equipment operation all accelerate disc degeneration and increase the probability of herniation. Workers who develop low back pain with leg symptoms, a C4-C5 or L4-L5 disc herniation on imaging, or radiculopathy into the arm or leg are the candidates most likely to benefit from decompression therapy as an alternative to surgical referral.

Cervical and Lumbar Decompression

Cervical decompression addresses disc herniation and degenerative disc disease in the neck that produces arm pain, hand numbness, and headaches. The protocol is angle-specific to the disc level being treated. Lumbar decompression addresses lower disc pathology producing back pain and leg symptoms. Both are offered at Cobblestone. Dr. Dean Mammales, DC determines candidacy at the initial evaluation based on your imaging and clinical findings. Patients who have been told they need cervical or lumbar surgery and want to evaluate non-surgical options first are a primary patient group for this service.
