Spinal Decompression in Willowbrook
Maybe you’ve dealt with that stubborn neck ache or low back stiffness for months. Maybe it’s been years. If other approaches have left you feeling stuck, you’re not the only one. Many patients who come to DuPage Pain Management, Ltd. have already tried physical therapy, injections, even surgery, without lasting relief. Dr. Chris Mersinger and our team know how discouraging that cycle gets. Real relief is possible, and we offer a free consultation so you can talk through your symptoms and history before committing to any care plan.
A Gentle, Non-Surgical Way to Ease Pressure
Spinal decompression stretches your spine to create space between the discs and take pressure off irritated nerves. No cutting, no needles. Our motorized therapy table slowly pulls and releases sections of your spine to ease that pressure. Over time, this stretching can help bulging or herniated discs retract and calm the nerve irritation behind your symptoms. Your first visit includes a thorough exam and on-site X-rays, followed by a 15-minute decompression session. Plan on about 45 minutes total.
Who This Approach Can Help
We often recommend spinal decompression for patients dealing with:
- Chronic neck and low back discomfort
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica and pinched nerves
- Spinal stenosis
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, or legs
What to Expect From Your Care Plan
After your first visit, Dr. Mersinger reviews your exam and X-rays and puts together a report of findings. At your follow-up visit, he’ll walk you through how many decompression sessions he recommends and why. Most care plans pair spinal decompression with physical therapy, acupuncture, or other therapies suited to your condition. Some patients notice a difference right away. For others, the improvement builds gradually.
