SPINAL DECOMPRESSION:
We offer a state of the art spinal decompression table by KDT. During treatment, you lie comfortably on your back while traction cables are hooked up to your neck. The machine, connected to the table, utilizes computerized protocols that create traction force on your neck. This creates a sensation of your neck being ‘pulled apart’; however, the force gently stretches your neck out. Most of our patients relax and fall asleep during treatment…(for more information click here)

Also, the deep and targeted heat can help relax stubborn muscles as well as reduce inflammation in joints in the neck…(for more information click here)
