Spinal Decompression

I'm looking into Spinal Decompression. Has anyone ever experienced this and does it really work? I'm trying to not have epidural injections or surgery. I suffer from Sciatica-really bad sciatica.

Hi
Spinal Decompression is a nonsurgical, noninvasive, drug-free treatment procedure that treats mechanical problems of the spine. Spinal decompression has a high rate of patient reported satisfaction. It will work for you consult your doctor soon. After only three weeks of treatment, there will be positive changes.

Hi

I have had all the conventional treatments out and had Facet joint injections and epidurals all to no avail. I have been told i need a 3 level fusion but the odds of being better after is only 30% which isn't good enough odds for me.
I settled to have a L4 Decompression which i must say i have never felt so much pain in my life!
I am 4 weeks out of having this surgery and feel worse than before my op.

Saying that you have to remember what doesn't work for one may well work for another.
