Is Spinal Decompression Right For You? - Dr. Brian Prieto

Are You a Candidate for Spinal Decompression? Dr. Brian Prieto Yorba Linda Chiropractor Explains

Welcome to Prieto Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression Center, located in the heart of North Orange County, Yorba Linda, California. I’m Dr. Brian Prieto, and today, we’re discussing who might be a candidate for spinal decompression therapy.

Many of our patients come to us after experiencing persistent pain and trying various treatments with limited success. These treatments often include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, and even pain medications or epidurals. If these methods haven’t alleviated your discomfort, you might find yourself exploring more specialized options like non-surgical spinal decompression.

At our center, the journey begins with a thorough history and physical examination to understand your unique situation. Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role; if you haven’t had any recent scans, we typically proceed with X-rays and an MRI. The MRI is particularly important because it allows us to see if there is a bulging or herniated disc that could be causing your symptoms.

Based on a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, history, and diagnostic results, we can determine if spinal decompression therapy is a suitable treatment for you. This decision is carefully made to ensure that it aligns with your health needs and treatment goals.

If you're struggling with back pain and traditional treatments haven't been effective, you might be a candidate for spinal decompression therapy. Check out our other videos for more information on how this treatment can offer relief and support your journey back to health.

Thank you for considering Prieto Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression Center as your partner in managing and overcoming back pain.
