Good news! The cost is reasonable and we provide everyone the opportunity to receive decompression therapy. Insurance covers a percentage of your care and the affordable cost eliminates the worry of depriving yourself of the care you need. During your consultation, the doctor will determine if you are a candidate, and fully explain to you how much it will cost before any charges are posted. If it is felt that you are not a candidate for care, the doctor will tell you and there will be no charge. Fair enough?
