Chiropractic Care
While chiropractic care cannot “heal” a herniated disc, it can significantly reduce pain by alleviating pressure on the disc and promoting natural healing. Many patients find long-term relief through spinal adjustments and decompression therapy.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the disc injury, but most patients start to feel relief after a few sessions. Full recovery may take several weeks of consistent chiropractic care.
Yes, spinal decompression is a safe and non-invasive treatment for disc pain. It gently stretches the spine, creating space for the damaged disc to heal while reducing pressure on nearby nerves.

Nice office: furniture like someone’s living room! Very clean and no dust anywhere.
Courteous staff. Dr Annie G was also very cordial and open for questions and did a thorough job of questioning me about details of reason for my visit.
This was followed by a careful exam of my back by deep palpation and then a minor adjustment of my L hip.
The visit concluded with an EMG (electric pads treatment) of my upper shoulders by her medical assistant for 10 minutes which was a bit surreal because it felt like a massage but no one was pressing anything. It felt very good basically once I got used to it.
Doctor Annie G took a moment to say goodbye and her receptionist said they were faxing her recommendations for X-rays to my primary care MD so the price of these X-rays would be covered by my insurance. Thoughtful.
I was billed $50 for first visit since it was not covered by my insurance or Medicare.
My primary insurance is Tri-care since I’m retired military and I was disappointed it was not accepted. When I looked into it, it would not have covered a first visit anyway though.
I guess I will just have to see how my secondary insurer Medicare handles these visits.
But otherwise, I was highly satisfied and I want to continue my care here.

So it’s been 2 months of treatment now. I am now down to every 2 weeks. The problems with my neck are much improved. My lower back still bothers me but it isn’t every day any more and overall it’s improved so I can walk more comfortably. I am continuing my visits and although the doctor urged me to come in anytime I was having a bad day and she would squeeze me in! This has not been necessary but I appreciated her telling me that.
Medicare is covering my visits except for a small Co-pay. I continue to highly recommend Decrecenso Chiropractic and Dr Annie G and her assistants and staff to anyone who has pain issues with their neck or lower back similar to mine.
