A History of Lumbar Decompression Therapy
Lumbar Decompression Therapy has been prescribed for more than fifteen years as a primary nonsurgical treatment for patients with herniated disc, degenerative joint disease, facet arthritis, sciatica, disc bulge and spinal stenosis to relieve pain. Patients who have been thoroughly screened and accepted as candidates of the procedure typically require 20-30 sessions in order to reach optimum spinal function.
Each hour procedure has specifically prescribed parameters, determined by your doctor, taking into consideration your examination and imaging findings and the complexity of your condition. Options for care, diagnosis and understanding of the process is thoroughly explained prior to beginning your program.
What Does Decompression Do?
LDT® (Lumbar Decompression Therapy) is a closed reduction decompression procedure designed to unload the micro components that produce pressure on sensitive nerve fibers. This gentle, safe and effective process focuses on specific lesions, discs or vertebrae diagnosed as the source of pain.
What is SRT ?
TM
SRT or Strength Rrestoration Therapy is a closed stabilization process achieved through increased para-spinal muscle strengthening. Because herniated discs are generally thought to be a result of mechanical instability and disuse atrophy, SRT is an important component to restore spinal muscle support.

Is this program for everyone?
Low back pain caused by fractures, tumors, infection or metabolic disease processes are not candidates for the program. Your doctor determines your course of treatment and whether you are a candidate. While some people have conditions that exceed the limits of any procedure available, the current literature suggest that 90 — 92% of patients with herniated intervertabal disc, degenerative joint disease, sciatica, facet syndrome and bulging disc are potential candidates for this procedure.
What is the typical cost for undergoing the procedure?
Flexible plans and low rate financing make LDT®/SRT affordable and accessible to virtually everyone. With the reasonable cost and worries eliminated, patients can focus on feeling better and recovery taking as little or as long as they like to pay. Your doctor will determine if you are a candidate and review your condition and cost.
