In 2008 Dr. Pardisnia of Simply Align Rehab imported the first DOC decompression table to Canada in his Oakville clinic. Much to his surprise he noticed some immediate results with this treatment. Patients that had severe lower back pain with pain shooting down their legs and neck pain with pain shooting down their arms got some relief immediately on the table. Working with this new technology was interesting. Not every patient with the same symptoms has the same result. Same patients with exact same diagnosis and MRI findings presented with complete different respond to the table. Over the past several years Dr. Pardisnia has personally helped hundreds of patients with this new technology. To be accurate the amount of decompression, time, angle and patient position is documented every time. During his certification course at Kennedy Decompression Technique, Dr. Pardisnia realized that many of the same settings were used by Dr. Kennedy. For the patients it is important to know that Spinal Decompression Therapy is a wonderful tool to assist with traction of injured discs back to place. This can alleviate the shooting pain as the disc is returned to its place.
It is also important for patients out there to realize that spinal decompression table and traction is just one part of the therapies. Activity modification and education and spinal stabilization are just as important. Once the disc has returned to its original place after few sessions of spinal decompression much needed spinal stabilization exercises are crucial. During these exercises the muscles around the discs that hold up the discs and the spine will be strengthen to avoid further collapse of the discs.
(Please note that at our office Spinal Decompression alone falls under chiropractic treatments. It can also be as part of physiotherapy treatment.)
Healthy lifestyle and healthy eating is also important for a healthy back. Being overweight, lack of exercise and smoking all have shown to cause increase lower back pain.
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 combine 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.
Spinal Decompression may work for patients with compressed or herniated discs.
Decompression Tables may effectively relieves pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, 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.

– Specific Vertebral Targeting
– Separate lumbar and cervical decompression programming
– Continuous readout and graphing of treatment parameters
– Table elevation, side bending and rotation allows 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 with bad backs and neck pain for a long time. We understand that you may have already spent a fortune for your condition. You will not be refused due to your financial restraints. We recommend our 8-10 session comprehensive decompression packages which includes the above components of Simply Align Technique™. Most insurance plans are accepted. Direct billing is available.
Treatment Duration and Frequency: Due to unique formation of human spine and Intervertebral discs frequent treatment are recommended for the duration of the treatments. We initially recommend 8-10 sessions of treatment at the frequency of four or five times a week to see any improvement. Once some improvements have been achieved you can continue with the rest of the program that may take up to additional 10 sessions depending on the severity of the their condition. Please note that improvements are not guaranteed but rest assure 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 8 to 10 sessions once you utilize Simply Align Technique™.

Spinal Decompression Testimonials
“I had a 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 3630 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 chord. Dr. Nima told me that the pain is due to spinal stenosis and he suggested me some treatment for pain management by spinal decompression along with laser and pulse wave. I was getting regular treatment more than a year from March 2015 to now. My pain was reduced and a I could walk perfect. The latest X ray report in march 2016 shows that my spinal vertebrae is 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 ENVOIRAMENT . I THANK GOD FINALY MY NIGHTMARE IS OVER. I STORNGNLY RECOMEND ANY ONE WHO HAVE A SMILAR 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 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
