3 Reasons to Try Spinal Decompression

Spinal Pain New York, NY

Your spine is composed of several individual vertebras that are separated by spinal discs. These discs are rubbery cushions that are often described as jelly donuts due to their round shape and soft nucleus center. Unfortunately, when a disc is ruptured, herniated or slipped, it can cause a compression or pinch in the nearby nerves. This creates a painful back condition that many Americans face.

The good news is that your pinched nerve or spinal injury doesn’t always mean undergoing surgery or taking pain medication to find relief. In fact, many patients find effective relief from a safe, non-invasive procedure called spinal decompression.

What is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Nonsurgical spinal decompression involves gently stretching the spine. This therapy relieves pressure on the spine so that the herniated disc can heal properly. At Manhattan Sports Therapy, Dr. Miro relaxes the patient in a neutral, face down position on a flexion distraction table. A uniquely designed portion of the table is unlocked to allow for gentle, isolated and controlled pressure to be applied to targeted areas of the spine.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Compared to other treatment modalities, spinal decompression using the flexion distraction technique offers notable benefits, including the following:

  • Safe for all ages
  • Non-invasive (no need for anesthesia or anesthetic)
  • Quick procedure (typically 30-45 min)
  • Natural therapy (without use of pharmaceuticals)
  • Effective relief (70% of patients demonstrated “excellent” to “good” results)

If you are suffering from back pain related to degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bulging discs, chronic lower back pain, sciatica, spinal stenosis or failed back surgery, ask us about spinal decompression. It could be your quick, safe and non-surgical answer to a pain-free back! Contact Manhattan Sports Therapy today to learn more.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
