Is Spinal Decompression Therapy covered by third party or insurance coverage?
Yes! Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care and modalities treatments provided by Chiropractors including the use of Spinal Decompression Therapy.
How long does it usually take to see the results?
Everybody heals differently. Acute (newer) cases usually see results instantly whereas chronic cases can take several weeks or more before the patterns change. Acute therapy usually encompasses a 4-8 week program and chronic therapy 8-12 weeks. However, progress checks and evaluations are key to determine overall healing and success.
How many treatments are usually required?
It depends whether your care is relatively newer or chronic. Based on a careful analysis, thorough examination and detailed work with imaging (nerve scan, x-rays, MRI) individual programs of corrective care are recommended. As mentioned earlier, acute cases can take 4-8 weeks requiring 2-3 sessions per week and chronic cases can take 8-12 weeks requiring 3-4 sessions per week to achieve the desired outcome.
