Retrospective Chart Review of Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression as a Therapeutic Modality for Low Back Pain

These findings suggest NSSD is an effective conservative treatment for a diverse population with LBP, addressing pain, neurological deficits, and functional impairments. NSSD may offer a cost-effective alternative to surgical interventions and pharmacological treatments, reducing the risks of opioid dependency and surgical complications. Future studies should include randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-ups to further validate these results. This study emphasizes NSSD as a first-line therapy for LBP, warranting broader adoption and coverage to improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs.

Abstract

These findings suggest NSSD is an effective conservative treatment for a diverse population with LBP, addressing pain, neurological deficits, and functional impairments. NSSD may offer a cost-effective alternative to surgical interventions and pharmacological treatments, reducing the risks of opioid dependency and surgical complications. Future studies should include randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-ups to further validate these results. This study emphasizes NSSD as a first-line therapy for LBP, warranting broader adoption and coverage to improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs.
