Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy treats chronic back and neck pain through motorized traction that reduces pressure on spinal discs. This non-surgical treatment helps alleviate pain from herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. Our FDA-cleared system gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within discs, promoting healing and nutrient flow.
Neuropathy Treatment
Our neuropathy treatment program addresses peripheral nerve damage using advanced electrical stimulation and laser therapy. This approach targets symptoms like burning pain, numbness, and tingling in extremities caused by diabetes, injury, or unknown factors. Treatment focuses on restoring nerve function and improving circulation to damaged areas.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy uses specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-thermal treatment effectively addresses joint pain, muscle spasms, and nerve-related conditions. Our 830nm wavelength system penetrates deep tissue to accelerate healing while increasing ATP production for cellular energy.
Sciatica Relief
Our sciatica treatment combines spinal decompression with targeted physical therapy to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. This comprehensive approach addresses both immediate pain and underlying causes like disc herniation or spinal stenosis. Treatment plans include posture correction and nerve mobility exercises.
Auto Injury Recovery
Specialized treatment for auto accident injuries focuses on restoring spinal alignment and soft tissue health. Our protocols address whiplash, neck strain, and disc injuries through decompression therapy combined with soft tissue mobilization techniques. We work with insurance providers to ensure comprehensive coverage for collision-related injuries.

Spinal decompression therapy uses FDA-cleared technology to gently stretch the spine, reducing pressure on discs and nerves. This non-surgical treatment promotes healing of herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease through targeted traction.
How does laser therapy work for pain relief?
Our 830nm cold laser stimulates cellular energy production and increases blood flow to damaged tissues. This process reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and alleviates pain from conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and nerve damage.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes, we welcome new patients and offer free MRI reviews to determine candidacy for our non-surgical treatments. No referral is needed to schedule your initial consultation with our chiropractic specialists.

We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Workers' Compensation, and auto insurance for injury-related claims. Our office staff will verify your coverage details before starting any treatment program.
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in treating back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy, and auto accident injuries. Our non-surgical approach addresses both acute and chronic conditions affecting the spine and nervous system.
How many treatment sessions are needed?
Treatment plans typically involve 20-25 decompression sessions over 6-8 weeks, combined with complementary therapies. The exact number depends on your specific diagnosis, symptom severity, and response to care.

After my sessions with Spinal Disc Regeneration Center, I was able to cancel my surgery appointment. I have already felt a change in my body and am positive that the treatments will continue to work.

Report
For the last ten years I have had major back trouble on and off. This year, I threw my back out so bad that I could not even stand up. I began treatments with Northern Lights Chiropractic and my back has never felt better.

Report
Dr. Becky had recommended spinal disc decompression after my MRI showed two bulging discs. I have had three sessions and I already feel a lot better. I look forward to the future treatments and being pain free once and for all.
