The fourth annual summit, hosted by Specialized Practice and HillDT Solutions, featured education on current spinal decompression research, advanced imaging, appropriate case selection, treatment protocols and clinical applications. Dr. Andrews also participated in training on pre- and post-treatment support, including nutritional considerations.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a form of controlled spinal traction performed with specialized equipment. It may be considered for selected patients with disc-related neck or back symptoms, including some cases involving bulging or herniated discs, sciatica or pain radiating into an arm or leg. Treatment decisions depend on the patient's examination and medical history; decompression is not appropriate for everyone and cannot guarantee a particular result.

At Back Pain Relief Chiropractic, Dr. Andrews uses advanced non-surgical spinal decompression tables as part of a broader conservative-care approach. When clinically indicated, the practice provides digital X-rays that are independently interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. Written radiology reports are typically available within 48 hours, helping Dr. Andrews review findings, discuss results with patients, and make timely recommendations for care or referral.

"The primary goal on each and every visit is to evaluate you and determine if I can help you. If I can, I will tell you. If not, I will tell you that as well and make the proper referral."  — Dr. Andrews, published patient-care statement
