Spinal Decompression

Do you suffer from long term, chronic, severe or debilitating back or neck pain?

Back pain affects one in three Americans and is a leading cause of emergency room visits and missed work.  If you're the "lucky" one, you know how uncomfortable just sitting reading the newspaper, watching TV or browsing the Internet can be.  Back pain affects all areas of your life and can cause you to miss out on activities you love, can send you to a doctor on a regular basis, and can even lead to depression.  Some people suffer for years, and have tried drugs, physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, acupuncture and massage; however are putting off the expense and risk of surgery until the pain becomes truly unbearable.  Does that sound familiar? 

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to be pain free.  What would you do?  Where would you go?  How would you feel?  Wouldn't it be wonderful if that were even possible?  Many people, after suffering for so many years and trying so many different treatments, lotions, potions and pills, have given up on trying to find temporary back pain relief, much less permanent relief.

Great news! Complete and permanent pain relief IS POSSIBLE with the medical scientific breakthrough treatment called non-surgical spinal decompression.  Spinal decompression is a relatively new medical procedure that is effective in significantly relieving and even completely healing 80-90% of chronic and severe back pain cases including pain caused by pinched nerves, spinal degeneration, bulging or herniated disks, stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, spinal arthritis and even failed surgery.  The way it works is by reducing pressure on the disks of your spine and actually creating negative pressure, which causes the disks to rehydrate, heal and return to their normal shape and function.  The best news is that once the treatment is completed, the problem causing the pain is healed, relief is permanent and the problem that caused your pain won't likely trouble you again! 

When I first learned of spinal decompression and how it was helping people, I simply had to add it to my practice!  I've now been treating patients for more than two years with this procedure, and seen some truly incredible results.  One of my patients was freed from his power wheelchair and is walking and working again!  Another of my patients was just telling me how he's pain free for the first time in 20 years!  People who could barely walk when they first came through our door because of the pain are resuming the activities they love such as walking, running, tennis, lifting weights and even golf!  You can read what some of my patients had to say in their own words here at our Success Stories page.  It is the most gratifying feeling in the world to be able to help people get their lives back in this way! 

Treatment is comfortable.  In fact, many patients even fall asleep during the procedure, and many report experiencing an endorphin rush or "runner's high" during their treatment.  Treatment lasts anywhere between 20-30 sessions, depending upon the severity and cause of the problem, plus there is no down time or missed work.  You are merely restricted from strenuous activities while undergoing therapy.  You are also provided with all of the nutritional and structural support you need to ensure maximum pain relief and treatment effectiveness.  Treatment is usually completed in 6-9 weeks, and results are gradual, cumulative and permanent, with maximum pain relief usually attained by the end of treatment.  Once treatment is completed, you may be recommended follow-up rehabilitation care, where we ensure that you have all the strength and flexibility you need to resume a normal life as well as prevent re-injury.

Treatment with spinal decompression is also affordable.  The good news is spinal decompression costs approximately one-tenth of what hospitalization and spine surgery costs, costing less even than an 80/20 split of what insurance often covers for surgery ... plus, you don't have to miss any work for recovery.  Because this is an elective procedure, the decompression itself is not typically covered by insurance, although that is slowly changing. We have noticed that many of the associated pain relief and rehabilitation procedures are covered, so insurance can often still be of help in covering some of the costs of your care.  In order to make this treatment available to people of any means, we offer significant prepayment discounts and a variety of financing options to ensure you can afford the pain relief you need and deserve.   

Now for some bad news ...  not everyone with back or neck pain qualifies for treatment with non-surgical spinal decompression.  Most commonly, people who are pregnant, have rods in their spines or are significantly obese may not be candidates for this procedure.  The only way to know for sure if you're a candidate is to call for an appointment and to have a consultation.  I offer a free initial consultation to review your medical history, perform a preliminary examination and determine an accurate diagnosis. At this time, I’ll know whether you are a candidate for the treatment, and then I develop your customized treatment plan with an estimate of exactly how much it will cost.  If I can help you, we'll go over everything you need to know and get you started so you can begin to feel better as soon as possible.  If you're not a candidate, I can at least refer you to someone else who might be able to help.

Call today to schedule your free consultation at 217-239-PAIN (7246) and see if you qualify.  Sooner than you think, you can be back to enjoying a healthy, active, pain-free life!  Call now!

I'm looking forward to seeing you!  

Sincerely,  

 Dr. T.K.  Gossett
