Who is a good candidate for spinal decompression?

Arm or leg pain: Assuming you mean surgical decompression, the best indications are arm pain (neck disk or bone spur) and leg pain (low back disk or bone spur). Besides pain, nerve pressure can cause muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.

No one unless they : Treat you for free as it offers no benefit over any other treatment done non-operatively.
