Spinal Decompression Therapy – Pasadena, CA

What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner to relieve pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerves. It is commonly used for herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica.

The therapy creates negative pressure within the disc space, which may help:

  • Reduce disc bulging
  • Improve circulation to injured tissues
  • Decrease nerve compression
  • Promote natural disc healing
Many patients seek spinal decompression as a conservative alternative to surgery.
No. Treatments are designed to be comfortable and controlled. Most patients report a gentle stretching sensation during therapy.
Treatment plans vary depending on severity. Disc-related conditions often require a structured series of sessions for optimal results.

Laser Therapy – Class IV Laser in Pasadena, CA

What is Class IV laser therapy?

Class IV laser therapy uses deep-penetrating light energy to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing. It is a non-invasive treatment option for joint pain, nerve pain, and soft tissue injuries.

Laser therapy is commonly used for:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Neuropathy
  • Tendonitis
  • Joint inflammation
  • Muscle strains
  • Sciatic nerve pain

Yes. Class IV laser therapy is FDA-cleared and drug-free. There is no downtime following treatment.

Some patients notice relief within the first few sessions, though a structured treatment plan is typically recommended for long-term improvement.
