Spinal Decompression/Expert Profile
Dr. Steven Shoshany D.C, C.C.E.P., C.K.T.P.
Expertise
I can answer questions for people that suffer with Sciatica, Chronic Low back pain, spinal stenosis, herniated disc and bulging discs. I can let them know about the best spinal decompression machine to use for their condition. If a patient is currently undergoing spinal decompression treatment and they have questions regarding the treatment protocol I can give my insight. I can answer questions regarding possible contra-indications to spinal decompression. If a patient was told that they need a back surgery because they have a herniated disc I can point them to the current research about how successful non surgical methods can be. I can't diagnosis patients without a proper exam and review of medical records but I can give them information and insight on how spinal decompression may benefit them.
