Spinal decompression effectively creates negative intradiscal pressure within the disc space at specified cervical and lumbar disc levels. A study that was published in Orthopedic Technology Review demonstrated that 86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms, while 84% remained pain-free 90 days post-treatment.  Physical examination findings showed improvement in 92% of the 219 patients and remained intact in 89% of these patients 90 days after treatment.  The cost for successful non-surgical therapy is less than a tenth of that for surgery.  

The results indicate that in treating 219 patients with MRI-documented disc herniation and degenerative disc diseases, treatment was successful as defined by: pain reduction; reduction in use of pain medications; normalization of range of motion, reflex, and gait; and recovery of sensory or motor loss.  

Dr. Sabrina Morgen offers non-surgical decompression in her office and is accepting new patients.  Patient and physician calls are welcome at (561) 964-9191.  She has been in private practice for more than 10 years.
