Hello,
I was browsing the internet and couldn’t help but jumping in to provide some information for you. I have a spinal decompression center and can give you some insight. I have treated many patients with decompression treatment and have gotten wonderful results. There are unfortunately, some cases that are pretty severe that do not respond the way I would like them to but, at least we gave it a fair chance.
As far as the cost is concerned, spinal decompression itself is not a covered treatment on health insurance plans so the cost is an out of pocket expense just like Lasik or cosmetic surgery. In my clinic the cost ranges anywhere from $ 4000-$ 7000 depending on your coverage for the ancillary care that we do in addition to the decompression treatment. We do offer affordable payment options and in-house financing to make it as easy as possible for patients to get the care that they need.
Hope I was able to help.

I just started Spinal Decompression therepy about 3 weeks ago, going 3X/Week. I have a protruding disc and a bulging disc of my cervical spine. I, unfotunately, have not seen any improvement so far. Actually I am noticing my symptoms to be getting worse, so since starting it I’ve had to take Hydrocodone=(
Everyone is different so you could possibly see a better result than I have so far. I still have another 3-6 weeks left, but I’l let you know when I am done… My injury was caused by an accident so my Auto insurance is covering it, but my Chiro says its 3000 for the 20 sessions…Hope this helps a little..
