Can Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Be Effective If You’ve Already Had Spinal Surgery???.

In many cases the answer is ….. YES.   While previous surgeries whereby extensive metallic “hardware” has been installed or for people who have had a surgically repaired abdominal or thoracic aneurysm surgically repaired usually serve as a contra-indication for NSSD techniques, in most NSSD is a safe alternative.

Many cases if “Failed Back Surgery” have found anywhere from modest to significant levels of progress with Non-Surgical Decompression intervention.

Keep in this in mind.  Each case is separate and distinct.  There is no perfectly generic answer to this question.  That’s why very detailed consultation and evaluation are so important.   In our office, we will not even consider a course of decompression care (especially a post-surgical case) until a relatively fresh MRI is reviewed, a range of motion and basic neurological evaluation and motion xray studies are performed.  The motion xray is of particular importance because it can reveal instabilities often not viewed on MRI which might preclude a patient from our decompression program.

If you are contemplating undergoing a program of NSSD, make sure the doc you see is very thorough in evaluation prior to starting.
