Spinal decompression for Orem patients

Comparing decompression clinics from Orem

Orem has several chiropractic offices that advertise spinal decompression, and some are closer to you than Springville. Distance matters, because a typical plan here is about 20 visits over 6 weeks. But it isn't the only thing to weigh. Before you start anywhere, it's fair to ask:

  1. Who examines me, and who runs the sessions? Here, Dr. Gordon Stapel, DC does the exam and decides whether decompression is appropriate.
  2. What table do you use, and can I see it? Ask when you call or at your consultation.
  3. What is the total cost, in writing, before I commit? Watch for plans that require large prepayment before you know whether you're responding.
  4. What happens if I'm not improving? A good answer includes reassessing and, when it makes sense, referring you to a medical doctor or specialist.
  5. What results do you claim, and based on what? Be cautious with big percentages. Research on decompression is limited and results vary. We don't publish success rates.

Why someone in Orem might make the drive

Some people want a second look at a disc problem before deciding on injections or surgery. Others prefer a small, single-office practice. Dr. Stapel has been in practice since 1993. About Dr. Stapel.

If you work or study around Utah Valley University or along State Street, ask about the late-afternoon window (3 to 6 pm, Monday through Thursday). How long the drive takes depends on where in Orem you start and on traffic, so check the map from your own address.

Questions from Orem

Is there an Orem office?

No. Springville Disc Center has one office, at 230 E 400 S Ste 1 in Springville. Orem patients drive south through Provo to get there.

There are decompression clinics in Orem. Why would I drive to Springville?

You may not need to. A closer clinic can make a multi-week plan easier, and that is a reasonable choice. Some people prefer to compare a few offices first. The questions on this page work for any clinic, including this one.

Can I come in before or after work?

The office is open 9 am to 1 pm Monday through Friday and 3 to 6 pm Monday through Thursday. Many people book a morning slot or the late-afternoon window. Ask about times that fit your schedule when you call.

I sit at a desk all day. Is decompression for desk-related back pain?

Not by itself. Decompression is mainly considered when pain seems to come from a disc, such as a herniated or bulging disc. Plain muscle strain from sitting usually calls for other care. The exam is how the doctor tells the difference. Who may be a candidate.
