The Lumbar Cervical Decompression (LCD) System is a non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy based on the principle of spinal traction. It involves the use of a sophisticated computerized device to relieve pressure from specific structures in your spinal column.

Our clinic features a device called the DRS system (Decompression, Reduction, Stabilization). The DRS was developed by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S., a Neurosurgeon. The DRS was developed through years of Biotechnological clinical research and is the result of the combined efforts of Neurosurgeons, Orthopedic surgeons and Biomedical engineers. Following the successful treatment of more than 8,000 patients, FDA approval of the DRS system was issued in April of 1997, and the systems became available for medical use in January of 1998. We have been utilizing the DRS system since 1998.

Many types of Doctors are utilizing this non-surgical, safe, approach to manage & eliminate common chronic spinal conditions. Medical Doctors (Neurologists, Orthopedic Surgeons, Physiatrists) & other health care specialists such as: Doctors of Chiropractic & Osteopaths are now employing this revolutionary type of non-surgical therapy. These types of doctors have extensive training and specialize in spine related conditions.

Common Conditions such as: Arthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), Facet Syndrome, Failed Back Surgery/Post Surgical Pain Syndrome, Herniated Disc (Neck & Low Back) and Spinal Stenosis have reportedly responded well to non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy.
