3D Decompression

Our DOC Decompression table was the first in Canada.  This unique design utilizes a digital command center for specific disc targeting, reducing the inside pressure separating them through decompression programming facilitating nutrients and oxygen transfer along with continuous readout and graphing of treatment protocols. In a study published in Spine 82% of selected patients reported improvement after only two weeks of decompression-like treatment with exercises than the exercise-only group.

At Simply Align we are committed to combining our unique Simply Align Technique™ which includes advance physiotherapy modalities, joint manipulation, mobilization, acupuncture, personalized and supervised exercises, unique weight-bearing core stabilization, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness exercises to achieve maximum therapeutic effect along with spinal decompression. We believe that this unique multi-approach is the key to a speedy recovery.

herniated discs

Spinal Decompression may work for patients with compressed or herniated discs.

Decompression Tables may effectively relieve pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromes, by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.

Spinal Decompression Research

In a study 82% of selected patients reported improvement after only two weeks of 3D decompression treatments with exercises than the exercise-only group, Decompression group displayed greater improvements in disability (mean adjusted ODI difference of 7.2 points) and fear-avoidance (mean adjusted FABQ difference 2.6 points) at 2 weeks.

Spinal Decompression is a multi-approach technique (Simply Align Technique™) put together through years of experience by our staff at Simply Align Rehab.

Please note that there are only a few studies supporting spinal decompression as a standalone treatment. Therefore we at Simply Align Rehab include other proven treatments as part of our Decompression Therapy.  Simply Align Technique™ includes Physiotherapy Modalities such as Electrotherapy and Laser Therapy, Pulsewave, Deep Heat, Myofascial Release Techniques, Joint Mobilization/Manipulation, McKenzie Extensions as well as Cognitive Behavioral Tools and mindfulness exercises. Nutrition supplementation is also a crucial part of our multi-approach treatment for Spinal Decompression patients. Supplements may include natural anti-inflammatory supplements and ointments.

Our 3D Decompression Tables may effectively relieve pain associated with disc herniation, bulges, degeneration, and posterior facet syndromes by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.
Features:

  • Digital (DOC) Command Center which includes:
    – Specific Vertebral Targeting
    – Separate lumbar and cervical decompression programming
    – Continuous readout and graphing of treatment parameters
    – Table elevation, side bending, and rotation allow for a 3D treatment rather than a straight pull.

At our clinic, we find over and over again patients are ill-informed about their condition. Many of our patients have been doing the wrong exercises and treatments for months only to aggravate their conditions. Proper lifting, proper posture as well as positions or exercises to avoid are just as important as the decompression treatments. At our facilities, patient education starts from day one and continues throughout the treatment duration.

All potential patients are highly recommended to follow all the above components and use Simply Align Technique™ in full.

Affordability: Many patients have been suffering from bad back and neck pain for a long time. We understand that you may have already spent a fortune on your condition. You will not be refused due to your financial restraints. We recommend our 5-10 session comprehensive decompression packages which include the above components of Simply Align Technique™. Most insurance plans are accepted. Direct billing is available.

Treatment Duration and Frequency: Due to the unique formation of the human spine and Intervertebral discs frequent treatment is recommended for the duration of the treatments. We initially recommend 5-10 sessions of treatment at the frequency of three or four times a week to see any improvement. Once some improvements have been achieved you can continue with the rest of the program which may take up to an additional 10 sessions depending on the severity of their condition. Please note that improvements are not guaranteed but rest assured that our ethical staff at Simply Align Rehab will terminate treatments if significant improvements are not achieved within a timely manner.  We would like to see some improvement with as little as 5 to 10 sessions once you utilize Simply Align Technique™.

Also remember to bring with you any x-ray, CT scan, or MRI reports…

(Although we consistently achieve great results note that spinal decompression or any other modalities offered may not be superior to any other technique offered by the same or different health practitioner and results may vary in your case.)

Spinal Decompression Testimonials 

“I had severe pain in my lower back and down to my legs.  The pain was so bad and I could not stand straight and my left leg was slightly dragging when walking.  My family doctor sent me to Simply Align Rehab at 4129 Lawrence Ave East, Scarborough, to consult Dr.Nima Pardisnia. He saw my x-rays and found that I have a slipped vertebrae in the spinal lumber L4, and it is pressing the spinal cord.  Dr. Nima told me that the pain is due to spinal stenosis and he suggested some treatment for pain management by spinal decompression along with laser and pulse wave.  I was getting regular treatment for more than a year from March 2015 to now.  My pain was reduced and I could walk perfect.  The latest X-ray report in March 2016 shows that my spinal vertebrae are perfectly and normally aligned and there is no damage. This is a miracle in my life.  I thank Dr.NIMA PARDISNIA FOR HIS EXPERTISE TREATMENT AND THE FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. I THANK GOD FINALLY MY NIGHTMARE IS OVER. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO HAVE A SIMILAR MEDICAL CONDITION, PLEASE VISIT SIMPLY ALIGN REHAB.”- Kandi Arun,  Scarborough, Ont

“I have been referring patients to Simply Align Rehab for neck and back pain.  All my patients have been very happy with their results.”Dr. S. Timol, MD, Toronto, Ont

“Prior to coming to see Dr. Pardisnia, I was diagnosed with a severe disc extrusion, which was causing compression on my sciatic nerve. The doctors said surgery would most likely consist of the removal of the disc and the insertion of posts to stabilize my back. I was put on 3 medications and bed rest so as to avoid emergency surgery. I was suffering from severe back pain, sciatic nerve pain, lack of mobility, and numbness. After a few weeks, I began spinal decompression and laser treatment at Simply Align Rehab. A few weeks after that, once the pressure was beginning to be alleviated, Dr.Pardisnia began manual adjustments and adding stabilizing exercises, along with ultrasound. The results were so remarkable that when I went to see the surgeon, he was amazed at my mobility, given my MRI results. Surgery has been postponed indefinitely! I now have quality of life back and am off the medications.
The experience at Simply Align Rehab is always a positive one. Everyone is friendly, and the environment is relaxed. This combination makes a big difference, especially when one is dealing with pain and physical challenges.
Dr. Pardisnia is a skilled practitioner with an excellent bedside manner. It is refreshing to find someone who truly cares about the well-being of his patients and produces results.
I have deep gratitude for Dr. Nima Pardisnia and his team and highly recommend their services.” – Trina Ghauri, Ph.D. 

“For the past two years I’ve been having difficulty with prolonged standing while performing surgeries due to spinal stenosis at my lower lumbars.  After only two weeks of spinal decompression treatments I can hardly feel the pain down both legs anymore.  I can not thank the staff at Simply Align Rehab enough for giving me such relief.” – Dr. Lloyd Padmore, MD, OB/GYN, – Scarborough General Hospital

“All I have to say is unbelievable! For five years I suffered with back pain to the point where my left leg would actually go numb. After two short months of treatments not only has Dr. Nima relieved the pain but has allowed me to golf 3 days a week, carry my bag and walk the course without any pain. It is not only the Decompression that has been working great but also his attitude towards his patients- never before have I been phoned the next day to see how I was feeling. Unbelievable. Thank you very much, Dr. Nima, for everything!” – Lou Cavallo

“For four years I have been recommending many patients for various musculoskeletal problems to Simply Align Rehab.  The staff are very knowledgeable as well as passionate and I could not be any happier with their services.” – Dr. Caroline Newman, MD – Toronto, ON

“Wow! Look at me! Can you believe this?’ This is what I say to most people who know me really well – well enough to know how badly off I was before I started Decompression treatments with Dr. Nima. I was hunched over and had difficulty straightening up, used a walker to get around and most of the time my pain level would be 9-10 out of 10. I depended on Nerve block treatments to ease the severe pain and spent a lot of time in tears, hoping for a miracle. Today, I can walk with a cane, keep my posture straight up, manage to hold a pain level of 6-7 out of 10 and look forward to days ahead when I can improve on all of the above.” – Cynthia Alexis

“As a family physician referring patients to a good comprehensive rehabilitation clinic is always a difficult task.  I now recommend Simply Align Rehab to many of my patients without any hesitation.  Their new spinal decompression therapy has helped many of my patients with complicated lower back and neck pain.  In one case a post spinal decompression MRI revealed reduction of herniation in the lumbar spine of one of my patients.  This is a significant objective improvement.  Thank you so much Simply Align Rehab.” – Dr. Arash Arani, MD – Oakville, ON
