What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
It is a non-surgical traction type therapy for back, leg, neck and arm pain. Spinal decompression is FDA approved and clinically has an 86% success rate for pain associated with bulging or herniated discs, even after failed back surgery. During the treatment, gentle distraction and relaxation phases are cycled through. A specific spinal disc is isolated and when placed under a negative pressure, a vacuum effect occurs. This effect causes a protruding or herniated disc to be pulled back within the disc by the vacuum created within the disc. Also, this vacuum stimulates growth of a blood supply which results in pain reduction and improved healing at the site of injury.
The Decompression unit we have at our office controls the variations in the traction allowing for spinal decompression and eliminates muscle reaction and compression seen with typical traction devices. Since patterns are preprogrammed for ramping up and down, the axial distraction amount allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc rehydration.
It is not recommended for: pregnant women, severe osteoporosis, severe obesity, severe nerve damage and spinal surgery with instrumentation. However, it can be used after bone fusion or non-fusion surgery.
Treatment plans are specific to each individual’s needs after a thorough evaluation has been performed. Based on the current research, the best results have been achieved after about 20 sessions over a 6-10 week timeframe. Each session takes about 30-40 minutes. To speed healing, spinal stabilization exercises along with massage and core strengthening may be recommended.
Those who have back, neck, leg or arm pain caused by damage to a disc which may include a: herniated, protruding or bulging disc, spinal stenosis, sciatica or radicular pain and degenerative joint disease.
The Eyerman study documented by MRI showed a 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10-14 cases.The Sealy-Borgmeyer study reported that 86% of patients with ruptured discs achieved “good” to “excellent” results after spinal decompression therapy.

Client Spinal Decompression Success Stories
Thank you for taking the time to read these reviews.
Dr. Iris is a wonderful and caring doctor.
“Dr. Iris is a wonderful and caring doctor. I have been fortunate enough to be her patient since 2012, when my large toddler was causing havoc on my back. She was easily able to get me out of pain and back to functioning order and has been doing so ever since.
She has an amazing intuition when it comes to the body. She is able to find the little spots that are out of alignment, even if I’m not able to locate them myself, and put them back where they belong.
She is completely committed to her patient’s well being and will do everything in her power to make you well, body and mind!”
Since seeing Dr. Rosenfeld, I have had progressive improvement
“I first came into the office in January 2008. I had a chronic issue with burning tightness in the right hip, extending to the middle back. It began about 10 years ago. I believe it was progressively getting worse but started with having a more sedentary job. It was not debilitating, but was annoying most of the time. I had been to my family doctor, an orthopedist, and another chiropractor. With the other chiropractor I had moderate results. The MDs had little to offer and no idea how to help. I found this office via a web search on the internet. Since seeing Dr. Rosenfeld, I have had progressive improvement, but the supplemental therapies have been both helpful and entertaining.”
I would give 10 stars if I could.
“I would give 10 stars if I could. Dr. Rosenfeld is the consummate professional!
If you want to get the best chiropractic care available look no further. I must receive impeccable care/service for me to write a review. Dr. Rosenfeld will increase your quality of life and reduce your pain. This is all done in a professional manner and setting. The staff is just as professional as Dr. Rosenfeld which is extremely important to me! I have been to numerous Chiropractors and very rarely will I return for a second visit. My search took over 6 months to find the right Dr and care. And the office hours should accommodate anyone’s schedule.
Thank you Dr. Rosenfeld. I’m so excited to have found you!”
With Dr. Rosenfeld I felt comfortable that she would take care of me.
“I had a neck injury seven years ago and have continued to have periods of bad times. I recently had a knee replacement which threw my back and neck out to the point I could not walk. I lost my job, can’t work and can’t work out. I just felt down. I had a bad experience with a chiropractor a long time ago. With Dr. Rosenfeld I felt comfortable that she would take care of me. Within a couple of visits I could walk and the pain was not so terrible and now we are working on the neck to try and relax it. I also use the natural products as well as the exercises given to me by Dr. Rosenfeld to try to get the best results. When I feel better life is better and everyone and everything is better. I tell people to try chiropractor care because if they try it they will be surprised.”
I no longer feel frazzled or out of sorts.
“I had neck pain that I had suffered from since a car accident in June of 2005. I suffered with this pain everyday – sometimes mildly and sometimes more severely. Also, my adrenal glands were shot and I was feeling a lot of stress. I had been seeing another chiropractor for about a year with little results. My pain never really went away despite facet blocks, trigger point injections and physical therapy. My mother told me about Dr. Rosenfeld and I made an appointment. My neck is feeling so much better. My flare-ups are few and when they do occur Dr. Rosenfeld resolves them quickly. The DSF supplement has helped me tremendously. I no longer feel frazzled or out of sorts. Thank you!!!”
I am being treated by Dr. Rosenfeld for pain relief.
“I am a law enforcement officer. I had middle back pain like a pinch under the left shoulder blade area. This limited me from working out and running. I was very conscious at work with regard to my profession. I had heard from a friend that chiropractors thoroughly studied the spine, concentrated on one discipline as opposed to western medicine. I am being treated by Dr. Rosenfeld for pain relief. Because of the long hours of sitting in a radio car or long hours standing and the approximately fifty pounds of gear I wear on a daily basis, I don’t have the small aches and pains I used to have. I have talked to several of my co-workers who complain of back pain and told them to consult a chiropractor. I have also told them about some of the other services Dr. Rosenfeld provides.”
Now am able to walk a mile or more with NO PAIN, NO NUMBNESS and my NEUROPATHY IS GONE!
“About 3 months ago, started having worsening pain in my thighs and calves when walking. It had gotten so bad that when walking more than a few houses, I had to stop because of the severe pain. Had an MRI and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, severe degenerative disc disease and protruding discs. Since I wanted to avoid surgery, I decided to try Spinal Decompression treatments from Dr. Iris, twice a week for 5 weeks. Now am able to walk a mile or more with NO PAIN, NO NUMBNESS and my NEUROPATHY IS GONE! My advice..just try the Spinal Decompression Therapy!”
It was amazing.
“I first came to Dr. Iris’s office in April of 2004. At the time, I was in bad shape. I had recently pulled a neck muscle, was extremely fatigued and could not concentrate on my course work. I suffered from many food allergies and an extreme sensitivity to gluten. Within 3 visits my neck pain was gone. Dr. Iris had recommended certain supplements which helped immensely with my fatigue and concentration. Within a year of starting the allergy treatments, my food allergies vanished, including my gluten problem (which was deemed impossible by other doctors and allergists I have seen) along with a dust allergy. It was amazing.”
Dr. Rosenfeld is a very loving and generous doctor.
“Dr. Rosenfeld is a very loving and generous doctor. I highly recommend her. She is always studying and learning new ways to help her clients. Dr. Rosenfeld has a very long list of techniques that she can offer to help. Dr. Rosenfeld is high energy and fun and an inspiration. I am grateful that my 19 yo son is her patient since I want him to meet motivated professionals.”
I was really impressed with the advanced equipment and techniques
“In April of 2008 I was struck by another car while driving and felt my neck snap and muscles in my upper body pull and tear. When I woke up the next day I had a migraine and was so stiff I could not walk. Dr. Iris saw me immediately and began working on me. I was really impressed with the advanced equipment and techniques she uses on accident victims. She eliminated my headache in the first visit and got me walking without pain quickly. I would never see or recommend another chiropractor as long as Dr. Iris is still practicing. She is such a wonderful person and talented professional.”
