East Rutherford Wellness Center Features Spinal Decompression for Non-Surgical Therapy Option


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., July 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wellness One of South Bergen offers a revolutionary approach to non-surgical neck and back pain in its state-of-the-art physical therapy facility with spinal decompression. Decompression treatment has been a mainstay in recovery for professional athletes, and only in recent years has become available to the general public.

"Decompression is a well-documented option for those with disc injury, and when combined with physical therapy can have tremendous success," said Dr. Haider Rizvi, Wellness One's physical therapist. "This type of care uses intermittent traction to help release pressure on the disc and spinal nerve roots. It utilizes the body's ability to adapt to structured tension, using this force and correcting the problem, all without drugs or surgery."

"Patients who have acute pain often find relief with the use of spinal decompression, but the real benefit is for those who have chronic back pain," notes Dr. Rizvi. "Most patients respond quickly and feel noticeable changes within a few sessions."

During decompression therapy, a patient lies on the table and all movements are controlled by precise, computerized adjustments. "While the movement may be subtle, the benefits are significant," said Dr. Rizvi. The most common problems that have responded well to this type of care include cervical and lumbar radiculopathy and acute whiplash injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents.

Dr. Elliot Foster, the practice's chiropractor, adds that while chiropractic adjustments are very effective at restoring proper spinal alignment, decompression therapy offers enhanced benefits by decompressing the lumbar spine. "Together, chiropractic care and decompression therapy deliver long-lasting pain relief," said Dr. Foster.

Providing care and wellness education to patients for more than thirty years, Wellness One of South Bergen features chiropractic care, physical therapy and acupuncture. The Center maintains a patient-focused facility by conveniently fitting into a patient's lifestyle with early morning and late day hours, a multi-lingual office (English, Spanish and Polish) and easy accessibility when driving or taking public transportation.
