Don’t let back pain keep you down. Dr. Mark Cafagna provides spinal decompression and other treatments in San Marcos, CA to help you get back to enjoying life.
What Is Spinal Decompression and How Does It Work?
The spine supports your weight and every move you make throughout the day. It is made up of ligaments, discs, and bones to ensure your body functions properly and without pain.
Unfortunately, there are many things that can impact the health of the spinal column, causing compression that can put unnecessary and unhealthy pressure on the nerves, muscles, and spinal cord. All of this can lead to pain, tension, tingling, weakness, and more throughout the body.
Spinal decompression is a method of therapy involving a motorized table or similar device. It is used to gently stretch out the spine. As it is stretched, it creates negative pressure, which helps pull discs back into place and take pressure off of muscles, nerves, and other components of the back. It also helps to pull necessary nutrients to the spine, helping the body to naturally heal.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy in San Marcos, CA
There are many benefits to visiting Dr. Cafagna for spinal decompression therapy, including the two listed below.
- Pain relief: This is one of the top reasons that people visit a chiropractor – they’re tired of dealing with pain. When that pain is due to compressed discs, muscles, or nerves, spinal decompression therapy is a very effective method of pain relief.
- Promotes natural healing: Most people find themselves turning to medication in order to cope with the pain. Spinal decompression provides natural relief by addressing the root cause and by drawing in essential nutrients to the damaged areas.
Spinal decompression therapy is often used in conjunction with other types of treatment, specifically therapeutic exercises and lifestyle changes that can help promote healing and prevent further injury. In the beginning, depending on your level of pain, Dr. Cafagna may utilize only spinal decompression and simple exercises. As you respond to the decompression therapy and improve, additional treatments may be added to your wellness plan to achieve the greatest results.

Spinal Decompression Machine
Until you experience a back injury, you have no real understanding of how debilitating it is. Virtually every movement uses one of the back or adjoining muscles. Back pain sufferers experience numbness, weakness, and reduced functioning of the limbs. Back pain interferes with work, sleep, and relaxation as well. If your injury progresses to the point where the disc material moves into spaces occupied by nerves, you are facing back surgery…well until now that is. With the inception of the LCD Spinal Decompression Care System, patients now have a non- surgical option to relieve the nonstop pain they have been experiencing.
The technology today appears to be a dream come true for those who suffer with compressed disks. Some may say that it is too good to be true, but research indicates that 92% patients report overall improvement; of these, 5% improved 25-50%; 17% improved 50-75%; 70% improved 75-100%. (Gose, Naguszewski & Naguszewski , The Journal of Neurological Research, Volume 20)
As more people are experiencing relief and full recovery using the technology available, this dream becomes a reality.If you have tried with chiropractic manipulations, physical therapy, drugs, and do not want to assume the risks associated with back surgery, then spinal decompression is the next logical choice.

I recommend Dr. Mark and his treatment to anybody suffering from a disc bulge/herniation. Thanks to Dr. Mark I have my life back!

Here is what Kimberly Olas had to say:
In mid April, 2010 my neck was in a bad position and something "slipped." Days later, I got arm and shoulder pain (pain level 8-9). I turned to natural healing by going to a Chiropractor (not Dr. Cafagna). After 2 weeks of treatment and not much relief, I began Acupuncture treatments. After 2 weeks of both Chiro and Acupuncture, I was still at pain level 7-8. Being extremely annoyed by the pain, I resorted to taking pain pills and muscle relaxers hoping this would reduce occasional muscle spasms. After taking the meds just twice, I experienced severe joint pain and tinnitis; I had to discontinue that path. I thought I may have to quit my 8-10 hour/day computer job and who knows what then?
By mid May I began experiencing mild numbness in my right fingers. An MRI diagnosed me with a herniated C6 disc. I had continued the Acupuncture treatments (solely), but then in mid June decided it wasn't helping enough to keep me at my job. This led me to research on the internet, which led me to spinal decompression with Dr. Cafagna. Just prior to beginning the spinal decompression treatments my arm pain level was 7-8. After approx. 2 weeks (2-3 treatments of spinal decompression) the pain level was reduced to 1-3. By the 10th treatment, the pain level for my whole back, arm and shoulder was at ZERO (a tiny bit of occasional numbness came about if I was on the computer too long) Without a doubt, this was the best and the quickest path to healing.
Today, August 1st - thanks to the good Lord with his many provisions and leading me to Dr. Cafagna - I no longer need Acupuncture and feel very good. It's wonderful that I can remain at my job, I have no idea where I would be without the spinal decompression treatments!
THANK YOU DR. CAFAGNA AND PAM!!! MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ABUNDANTLY.

This is what LaVonne Hogue had to say:
When i decided to go to Dr. Mark it was with fear and trembling as my previous experience with a Chiropractor was not very good. I soon was put at ease with what was explained to me and the techniques that were used. The Spinal Decompression treatment made a big difference in relieving my pain. I am so pleased i didn't have to go on pain pills for the rest of my life. Thanks Dr. Mark, Pam and Vanessa for always caring for me in such a pleasant and professional manner.
