Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression can be a terrific source of relief for those suffering from back pain caused by herniated or bulging discs. By lying on a mechanical traction table that is controlled through a computer program, the spine experiences a gentle easing of the pressure between the spinal discs. This creates the capacity for oxygen, water, and nutrients to work their way backing into the disc space that was formerly too restricted.
The forms of back pain that benefit greatly from this modality include:
If you are experiencing pain from any of these maladies, Spinal Decompression—often combined with physical therapy—can be an excellent source of pain relief. Patients have experienced relief immediately following their first treatment. The relief is produced by the space that is created by the traction, but the beauty of this treatment is that it promotes a healthy environment and stimulation of blood supply for the disc, which leads to healing, in addition to pain relief.
As with any chiropractic treatment, we will begin with a thorough examination that will include reviewing your medical records. Your x-rays and CT and/or MRI scans will be read and evaluated by our trained chiropractors. Once we determine you are a good candidate for spinal decompression, you will begin by lying on the traction table, either on your back or your side, depending on your unique condition. The upper portion of the table, where your head and shoulders lie, remains stable. The lower half of the table is outfitted with a harness that holds your hips in place. This lower portion slides from side-to-side, providing gentle traction and encouraging relaxation. Most patients experience some degree of pain relief after just one 30-45-minute treatment and many are fully recovered after a series of appointments. Pain caused by herniated discs can benefit from combining spinal decompression with heat and/or cold therapy and also ultrasound therapy.
Bulging, herniated discs are painful due to the pressure they create on the surrounding nerves. Spinal decompression therapy is a risk-free alternative to surgery, providing an opportunity to create a healing environment by opening up the space between the vertebrae. We highly recommend this safe, effective treatment for back pain relief, as we continually see a substantial reduction in pain in our patients.

With a focus on patient care and management, Dr. Alejandro Amador Mioni has treated over 10,000 patients and given over 200,000 treatments during the last 20 years of practice. In 1999, he graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California and has remained committed to Palmer diversified, auto and car injury treatment, case management, and Chiropractic Biophysics since that time.
Dr. Mioni has known his wife since he was eight years old and has been happily married to her for the last 25 years. He speaks Spanish and has three children—a son and two daughters. When they married 25 years ago, Dr. Mioni’s wife began her career at Southwest Airlines in order for Dr. Mioni to have flight benefits to fly home every weekend to see her and the children.
His son went to college on a wrestling scholarship and wrestled for the Olympic Training Center at Northern Michigan University. He is in the Navy now and currently training to be a Navy Seal (fingers crossed). His oldest daughter graduated from the University of Arizona and is also in the Navy, training to be a Nuclear Engineer. Their youngest daughter is going to ASU on an Academic Scholarship, having been accepted into the Barrett Honors College. She is studying Medicine.
Dr. Mioni is the baby in his family and is a first-generation United States Citizen. His parents came to the United States in the late 60s from Mexico City. In the early 70s, Dr. Mioni was born in Phoenix, Arizona.
Dr. Mioni has many hobbies, and his wife says he has all the stuff in their closet and garage to prove it. He earned a bronze medal in the Junior Olympics as a Marksman. He likes to ride ATVs and UTVs. He likes building remote controlled electric trucks and cars, flying kites, swimming, riding bikes, playing board games, corn hole, golf, and pinball machines. He enjoys racing cars, and scuba diving. He also loves movies. And yet, his main priority is—without a doubt—his family.
