While the spinal surgeon will explain the possible risks of your back or neck operation—such as anesthesia, bleeding, blood clots, dural tears, and infection—the biggest clinical risk is that the procedure may not resolve the pain. This is why we encourage patients to weigh the benefits of Spinal Decompression vs Surgery before committing to an invasive path and the dangers of back surgery.
Spinal Decompression vs Surgery: A Biomechanical Approach
The most common cause of "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome" is that the procedure addressed an anatomical finding that wasn't the actual driver of the patient's symptoms. At Triangle Spinal Decompression, we prioritize biomechanical restoration over anatomical alteration.
By utilizing the nutrient pump effect, we create negative intradiscal pressure that facilitates the natural rehydration and repair of the spinal disc. This clinical approach allows for the resolution of sciatica and herniated discs without the systemic risks of a surgical environment.

Dr. Parker Neill: An international sports chiropractor who integrates Dry Needling and FAKTR to address the soft tissue components that surgery often ignores.

Preserving Biomechanics with Non-Surgical Decompression without the Dangers of Back Surgery
At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, we advocate for a "conservative-first" approach to spinal health. By utilizing non-surgical spinal decompression, we focus on Biomechanical Restoration rather than anatomical alteration.
Our clinical protocols utilize the nutrient pump effect, creating negative intradiscal pressure that facilitates the natural rehydration and repair of the spinal disc. This allows for the resolution of sciatica and herniated discs without the risks of anesthesia or long-term pharmaceutical dependency.
