Our non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is designed to gently stretch the spine creating relief from years of pressure and tension. Whether it’s neck pain (cervical) or low back pain (lumbar), decompression can help you feel like yourself again. 🙌

Here’s what it does for you ⬇️

☑️ Relieves pressure: takes stress off compressed discs & nerves
☑️ Reduces pain: less irritation, more ease
☑️ Restores cushioning: rehydrates discs to improve shock absorption
☑️ Improves movement: freer, smoother motion
☑️ Restores posture: stand taller and straighter with less strain

Think of it as a reset for your spine!

Here's what most people don't know about neuropathy....

It's not just nerve damage, it is a circulation crisis that eventually could interfere with other organs and tissues in the body. Your nerves need 4 things to survive. Oxygen, glucose, proper nutrients and stimulation. When blood flow to your nerves drops by 50% they start dying.

Most healthcare practitioners say, there is nothing else you can do except take medications like gabapentin, and that's just not true.

So let's set the record straight- nerves can regenerate if you repair damaged pathways and restore proper blood flow.

Most treatments focus on managing symptoms like pain. We focus on the root cause. Our neuropathy program uses specific home therapies that create a pumping action to force blood into damaged areas. These therapies include medical grade equipment and are FDA cleared. We combine this with targeted supplements that actually dilate blood vessels increasing circulation!

This treatment has been used successfully for years to help individuals struggling with pain and nerve related issues. This treatment has helped individuals struggling with neuropathy symptoms such as:
✅️tingling and burning
✅️numbness
✅️sharp stabbing pain
✅️weakness
✅️loss of balance
✅️swollen ankles and feet
✅️poor circulation.

Studies show that this treatment is effective in reducing nerve pain, regenerating damage tissue, improving blood vessel growth, supporting long-term healing and providing lasting relief from neuropathy symptoms.

Neuropathy stole your life once, let's take it back so you can get back to doing the things you love to do.

Causes of pain and/or numbness in hands or feet:

Hand and foot numbness (typically in both hands and both feet, often in a symmetrical "gloves-and-stocks" pattern) is most commonly caused by problems in the **peripheral nervous system** and the brain or spinal cord. Here are the most frequent causes, ranked roughly from most common to less common:

# # # Common Causes
1. **Peripheral neuropathy** (damage to the peripheral nerves)
- Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) – by far the #1 cause worldwide
- Statin Medications
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Alcohol-related neuropathy
- Chemotherapy or certain medications
- Chronic kidney disease
- Idiopathic neuropathy

2. **Nerve compression/entrapment** (less likely to affect both hands and feet at once)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (hands only)
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome or morton’s neuroma (feet only)
- Usually not symmetrical in all four limbs

3. **Spinal cord or nerve root problems** (can affect hands + feet, but usually with other signs)
- Cervical spinal stenosis (neck) + lumbar spinal stenosis (low back) together
- Severe vitamin B12 deficiency causing subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord
- Rarely multiple sclerosis or transverse myelitis

4. **Systemic/autoimmune diseases**
- Guillain–Barré syndrome (often starts in feet, ascends)
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Sjögren’s syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis
- Small-fiber neuropathy (burning pain + numbness)

5. **Toxic exposures**
- Heavy metals (lead, arsenic)
- Excess vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Certain industrial chemicals

# # # Red Flags (See a Doctor Quickly)
- Rapidly progressing numbness or weakness
- Numbness that starts in the feet and moves upward
- Loss of bladder/bowel control
- Difficulty walking or frequent falling
- Associated back/neck pain, vision changes, or speech problems
- Balance issues

# # # Quick Self-Check Questions
- Do you have diabetes or prediabetes?
-Do you take Statin Medications?
- Do you drink alcohol heavily?
- Are you vegan or have gastric bypass history? (B12 risk)
- Is the numbness burning, tingling, or like “pins and needles”?
- Do you have balance issues?
- Does it feel like you’re walking on cotton or wearing socks/gloves when you’re not?

Don't let anyone tell you there is nothing you can except take medications!! We have an advanced home treatment program available that has a very high success rate treating peripheral neuropathy.

My neurosurgeon, my primary care physician, my dentist, my fortune teller, my ......said never get treated by a chiropractor. Is it ok to receive treatment designed and developed by a medical doctor (MD,PhD) ?
That's the treatment we provide with non surgical spinal decompression. Originally developed and pioneered by Dr Allan Dyer,PhD,MD in 1985. Years later, with state of the art technology , we have the HillDT Decompression Table. The HillDT table uses sophisticated load sensor technology which constantly measures and monitors the treatment force and patient-resistance of every treatment at a rate of over 10,000 pulses per millimeter of movement.
