How Long Does It Take To See Results Once Under Spinal Decompression Therapy?

By Dr. Dave Podell, DC · December 7, 2009 · Filed in Spinal Decompression · No Comments »

Every case is unique and responds at a different pace.  After a patient’s initial evaluation, I will put in about an hour of homework time to determine the severity of a patient’s condition.  They will be categorized from 1 to 5….   Category one is a more modest case… Category 5 is like Hurricane Katrina.  Very severe.

The more severe the case, the more care necessary.  And usually a slower response time until that patient begins to note a change in symptoms or the way the “feel”.

That being said, a  percentage note remarkably positive changes within just a few short sessions while some  may feel just a little better with each visit but begin to notice substantial improvement   a few weeks into care.  Another small percentage of patients may have to complete the entire recommended protocol or cycle of care before noting major changes.

Keep in mind that in either case, most of those who present to my clinic have had progressive spinal pain for years and have attempted a multitude of ineffective medical treatments prior to seeing me.  So, it can take  a little time… and patience….. to see the results.   But after years of suffering, the response rate is relatively quick for a substantial percentage of pain sufferers.  It takes time to rehabilitate and decompress damaged discs and joints but it’s well worth it as the majority of those the enter our decompression are highly successful in their outcomes.
