Spinal Decompression Near Westlake, FL

Spinal decompression therapy near Westlake is available at Cobblestone Spine on Okeechobee Blvd at SR-7, 10 to 15 minutes east on Seminole Pratt Whitney Rd. Westlake is a young, growing community, and the disc conditions that bring residents to Cobblestone for decompression are more likely to stem from acute injury, sports, or the physical demands of active young parents than from the cumulative degeneration that drives older patients toward this therapy.

Spinal decompression creates negative intradiscal pressure through controlled motorized traction, allowing herniated disc material to retract and reducing the nerve compression that produces arm pain, leg pain, and radiculopathy. The therapy works on the disc directly, not just the surrounding structures. That distinction is what makes it more effective than manipulation alone for disc-mediated radiculopathy. A lumbar disc herniation at L4-L5 causing sciatic pain down the leg responds to decompression in a way that chiropractic adjustment alone often cannot fully address.

Cervical and Lumbar Protocols

Cervical decompression is available for Westlake patients with disc herniation at C5-C6 or C6-C7 producing arm pain, hand numbness, or neck pain with headache. The protocol is angle-specific to the disc level being treated. Lumbar decompression addresses disc pathology at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. Dr. Dean Mammales, DC determines candidacy based on your imaging and clinical findings at the initial evaluation. Patients who have been told they may need cervical or lumbar surgery and want to evaluate non-surgical options first are appropriate candidates for this evaluation.
