Spinal Decompression
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression can prevent the need for spinal surgery by utilizing a motorized system that allows for controlled and targeted stretching that goes beyond traction or inversion.
This can heal conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic neck or back pain. At North Myrtle Beach Chiropractic, it's always our goal to help your body heal in the least invasive way possible so you don't get slowed down by pain or the need for surgery.
Whether you're dealing with a herniated disc, sciatica, or persistent neck and back pain, our approach provides an effective, non-invasive solution to help you feel better and move better without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.

Proven Safe & Effective
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) has been proven to heal herniated, bulging, injured, and degenerative intervertebral spinal discs with an 86% success rate!
When you compare that to a high rate of failure of spinal surgery (within 5 years), it's worth giving spinal decompression a try!
Spinal decompression therapy gently relieves pressure on the spine, helping to promote the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients to the discs and surrounding tissues. By targeting the root causes of your discomfort, we aim to restore your body’s natural alignment and function, allowing you to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle. These amazing results are achieved by creating a vacuum effect within the injured disc. This heals disc injuries by sucking the jelly-like inner nucleus back inside the torn and injured tough outer layers of the disc. In layman's terms, it sucks the jelly back in the donut. This decompression force is achieved by a highly technical form of traction coupled with a computerized biofeedback feedback response system. NSSD is the best option to alleviate pain resulting from both acute and chronic spinal injuries. This non-invasive approach helps those suffering from conditions such as sciatica, disc herniations, disc bulges, pinched nerves, spinal stenosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, arthritis and more.

Spinal Decompression vs. Spinal Surgery
You may find yourself wondering whether you should try spinal decompression or jump right into a spinal surgery. Spinal decompression therapy offers a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to spinal surgery, with minimal recovery time and low risk of complications. Typically requiring 20 sessions over 10 weeks, it allows patients to continue daily activities with little disruption. In contrast, spinal surgeries involve hospital stays and extended recovery periods, ranging from 3 months to over a year, along with risks of infection, nerve damage, and costly repeat procedures. While surgeries can provide relief, they often come with hidden costs like physical therapy ($2,000-$6,000), medications, lost wages, and follow-up imaging, potentially adding thousands to the total expense. For many, spinal decompression therapy delivers significant pain relief, with 86% of patients reporting improved mobility, without the financial and physical burdens of surgery.
- Spinal Decompression: 85% of patients report significant pain relief. Safe repeat treatments if needed.
- Surgeries: Up to 30% experience chronic pain post-surgery. Recurrence rates and ASD can lead to additional surgeries.
Patient Satisfaction & Repeat Treatments:
Long-Term Outcomes:
The Hidden Costs of Surgery:
- Spinal Decompression: Effective non-surgical pain relief with low recurrence.
- Surgeries: Long-term relief is possible but may lead to further degeneration or chronic pain management. While surgical interventions can provide effective pain relief, studies suggest that 20-30% of spinal surgery patients continue to experience some level of chronic pain, often leading to additional treatments or surgeries down the line.
- Herniated Disc Surgery: Approximately 5-10% recurrence rate within a few years, which may necessitate additional surgery.
- Spinal Fusion: While it stabilizes the spine, studies show that 30-40% of patients may develop ASD within 10 years, leading to further surgeries or chronic pain management.
- Physical Therapy: $2,000 - $6,000.
- Medications: $50 - $300/month.
- Lost Wages: Potentially thousands.
- Follow-Ups & Imaging: $500 - $3,000.
- Additional Surgeries: Tens of thousands more.
