Many patients who have been told they need to have spinal surgery have chosen to come to Cary Physical Medicine for non-surgical spinal decompression as a safe and effective alternative. Non-surgical spinal decompression is an innovative solution designed by physicians and medical engineers to treat pain and other symptoms caused by bulging, herniated, and degenerated discs. 

Dr. Alan R. Barthen of Cary Physical Medicine is nationally certified in non-surgical spinal decompression, was involved in the original research, and has specialized in the topic for 20 years. This treatment option has been studied for many years with an excellent success rate, with some studies showing a long-term success rate of up to 92%.

Non-surgical spinal decompression works by creating a negative pressure in the spinal disc space, allowing the discs to absorb nutrients and be pulled back into their correct place. As the disc returns to its correct location, the pressure on your spinal cord and nerves reduces, thus relieving the pain. 

If you believe you would benefit from non-surgical spinal decompression, Cary Physical Medicine is here to help. During your initial visit, we'll provide you with a physical examination and x-rays, if necessary. Once we've studied your case, we will devise a treatment plan. Before we begin your care, we will discuss insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
