Welcome to Your

Personal Treatment Guide

YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Wear you Lumbar belt after lumbar decompression for 3 hours after treatment.

  • Don’t exercise or do any heavy lifting for at least 3 hours after treatment.

  • Its normal and temporary to have light stiffness or for your original symptoms to go up and down at first.

​​

YOUR DO'S & DON'TS

​​​​

  • Stay diligent with your visits and exercises. Each visit builds on the prior one.

  • Stay patient with your body and the speed of the healing process.

  • Track progress week-to-week instead of visit-to-visit.

  • Don’t be tempted to make up for lost time as your body improves. Intense yard work, heavy workouts, or 400 holes of golf will need to wait a bit.

COMMUNICATE WITH CASE SUPERVISOR
