If you’re struggling with chronic back or neck pain and want to avoid invasive procedures like laminectomy or laminotomy, non-surgical spinal decompression in Cary, NC may be the solution you've been searching for. At Triangle Spinal Decompression, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill deliver advanced, evidence-based care that helps patients avoid the risks and downtime of spinal surgery—while targeting the root causes of pain.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a specialized therapy that uses motorized traction to gently stretch the spine. This movement relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves, promoting rehydration of the spinal discs and reducing inflammation. It is FDA-cleared and proven effective for many back and neck conditions that often lead patients to consider surgery.

Unlike laminectomy or laminotomy, which physically remove portions of spinal bone to relieve pressure, decompression therapy restores spinal balance without incisions, general anesthesia, or hospital stays.

Why More Patients Are Choosing Non-Surgical Decompression Over Laminectomy or Laminotomy

Traditional spinal surgeries like laminectomy and laminotomy are often recommended when patients suffer from conditions such as:

While surgery can help, it carries risks—including infection, nerve damage, and long recovery periods. Additionally, outcomes vary and may not always prevent recurrence of pain. That’s why more people are turning to non-surgical spinal decompression as a first-line or alternative solution to avoid back surgery altogether.

Real Alternatives to Spine Surgery in Cary, NC

Choosing surgery should never be your only option. Research published in Pain Practice and Spine Journal confirms that non-surgical decompression can significantly reduce pain and improve function—especially when combined with rehab and therapeutic exercise.

Many patients referred to Triangle Spinal Decompression by spine surgeons or primary care physicians have delayed or even canceled their scheduled laminectomy after experiencing the benefits of this therapy.

Your path to pain relief begins with a detailed consultation and examination. If spinal decompression is appropriate for your condition, your customized care plan will include:

  • 20–24 treatment sessions over 6–8 weeks
  • Complementary therapies like manual therapy, active rehab, or dry needling
  • Post-care strategies to help prevent recurrence

Our goal? Help you avoid back surgery—and live with less pain, more freedom, and no downtime.
