Back or Neck Pain That Keeps Returning

You've Been Told You Have a Disc Problem

Spinal decompression may be an option for these types of back and neck problems.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a controlled form of traction designed to gently stretch and unload the spine.

This creates space, which can help reduce pressure on spinal discs and nearby nerves and support improved movement and function.

At Suncoast, our doctors develop a customized treatment plan that combines spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments based on your condition, examination findings, and goals.

I have personally known Dr. Benton for over 20 years. He is the ONLY Chiropractor I trust with my care. There have been several times when I was in such pain or incapacitated thought I would need surgical intervention BUT NO!! And after several visits with Dr Benton, I was COMPLETELY back to normal activities again. Dr Benton is very professional, kind and compassionate to his patients. He is very knowledgeable and within minutes of your appointment he can tell you what he believes is the proper treatment for what is going on. His office staff is very friendly and helpful to everyone who comes through the door.

A Structured 20-Treatment Program

Spinal decompression is designed to be performed as a series of treatments rather than a single session. At Suncoast, our structured 20-treatment program combines spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments while monitoring your progress throughout care.

Evaluate

Your doctor evaluates your condition, treatment goals, examination findings, and available diagnostic information to develop a treatment plan customized for you.

Treat & Monitor

Each treatment combines doctor-directed spinal decompression with a chiropractic adjustment. Your response and progress are monitored throughout the program.

Reassess & Transition

Your progress is reassessed during and at the completion of the program to determine the appropriate next step in your chiropractic care.

Pain can slowly start running your life — changing how you work, sleep, move, and spend your time. The goal is simple: reduce those restrictions and help you get back to what matters.

Progress You Can Measure

Improvement is about more than how you feel today. It is also about getting back to the activities your condition has been limiting.

Establish Your Baseline

We begin by identifying how your condition is affecting your movement, daily activities, and the things you want to get back to.

Measure Your Progress

At treatment 10, we reassess your progress and compare how you are functioning with where you started.

Evaluate Your Results

At the completion of the program, we reassess again to measure your response and help determine the appropriate next step in your care.

We track more than pain. We look at whether you are moving better, functioning better, and getting back to the life you want to live.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is about understanding what is going on, how it is affecting your life, and whether spinal decompression is an appropriate option for you.

Talk With Your Doctor

We start by listening. Your doctor will talk with you about your symptoms, health history, what your condition is keeping you from doing, and what you would like to get back to.

Examination & Imaging Review

Your doctor will perform an examination and review available diagnostic information, including X-rays or MRI findings when available, to better understand your condition.

Your Recommendation

Your doctor will explain what was found and whether spinal decompression is appropriate for you. If it is, we will discuss a treatment plan based on your condition, findings, and goals.

The first step is finding out whether decompression is the right approach for you.
