Who is a Safe Candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment?

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a safe and effective treatment for many patients suffering from back pain and other spinal conditions. However, it is not suitable for everyone. Here are some factors that healthcare providers will consider when determining if you are a safe candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression:

• Age: Patients over the age of 70 may not be good candidates for this treatment due to the increased risk of complications.
• Medical history: Patients with certain medical conditions, such as severe osteoporosis or spinal fractures, may not be able to tolerate the traction involved in spinal decompression.
• Pregnancy: Pregnant women should not undergo spinal decompression therapy due to the risk of harm to the developing fetus.

It is important to consult with an experienced healthcare provider to determine if you are a safe candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression.
