Recurring Stiffness

Waking up with a tight, inflexible back that takes hours to loosen up.

Clinical Definition

What Do We Mean By
Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a broad term for clinician-directed approaches designed to gently relieve mechanical pressure on the spinal structures and nerve roots.

There is no one-size-fits-all decompression treatment. Our priority is a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate, evidence-based conservative care for your specific condition.

CLINICAL PHILOSOPHY

Assessment First. Always.

We do not assume spinal decompression is right for everyone. Our priority is your safety and ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your specific condition.

We listen before recommending.

We take the time to deeply understand your history, symptoms, and concerns before discussing any pathway forward.

We assess clinical suitability.

Every recommendation is grounded in a comprehensive physical and clinical evaluation to ensure treatment safety.

We explain the available options.

Transparency is key. We outline the mechanics, expectations, and alternatives so you make fully informed decisions.

We only provide where indicated.

We advance to decompression therapy strictly for patients whose clinical assessment confirms it as the right approach.

If spinal decompression does not appear suitable for your condition during the screening, we will clearly advise you and recommend alternative, safer pathways.

FAQ

Common Questions

Find answers to common questions about your initial consultation and what to expect.

What exactly happens during the $97 initial assessment?

Is spinal decompression painful?

No, the therapy is generally designed to be gentle and comfortable. Many patients find the sensation of decompression relieving. However, experiences can vary depending on your individual condition and sensitivity.

Am I guaranteed to be a candidate for this treatment?

No. Suitability for spinal decompression depends on several clinical factors. The assessment is specifically designed to evaluate your condition and ensure that this therapy is an appropriate and safe option for you.

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment plans are highly individualized. If you are deemed a suitable candidate, your practitioner will recommend a specific protocol based on the severity and nature of your spinal concerns.

Can I claim the initial consultation on my health fund?

Health fund rebates may apply depending on your level of extras cover and your specific provider. We recommend checking directly with your health fund regarding coverage for initial clinical assessments.

As with any clinical therapy, there are potential risks and contraindications. Your practitioner will discuss these comprehensively during your assessment to ensure you can make an informed decision.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

A medical referral is not strictly required to book an initial assessment. However, if you have relevant imaging (X-rays or MRIs) or medical notes, please bring them along.

How long does the initial appointment take?

Please allow approximately 40 to 45 minutes for your comprehensive initial screening and consultation.

What should I wear to my consultation?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of movement, as your practitioner may need to perform various physical assessments.
