Struggling With Arthritis-Related Back Pain? You’re Not Alone

Arthritis in the spine can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and a serious reduction in your quality of life. Many patients are told surgery or prescription medication is their only option — but that’s not always the case.


At Midlands Spine Center in Lexington, SC, we help patients find real relief through non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This safe, gentle, and highly effective treatment can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and help you get back to the activities you love.



What Is Spinal Arthritis?

Spinal arthritis (also called osteoarthritis of the spine) happens when the cartilage that cushions the joints in your back starts to wear down. This leads to inflammation, stiffness, and pain — often worsening with age or after injury.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic back or neck pain

  • Joint stiffness, especially in the morning

  • Radiating pain or numbness due to nerve compression

  • Difficulty bending, twisting, or standing for long periods

Left untreated, arthritis can significantly impact your mobility and daily comfort.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine using a specialized motorized table. This creates negative pressure inside the spinal discs, which:

  • Reduces pressure on arthritic joints

  • Helps reposition bulging or herniated discs

  • Increases circulation and nutrient flow

  • Allows damaged tissues to heal more effectively


Dr. Jason Mubarak uses this FDA-cleared technology at Midlands Spine Center to help patients with arthritis-related back pain find relief without surgery.


 How It Helps Arthritis-Related Back Pain

When arthritis compresses spinal joints and nerves, it causes pain, inflammation, and restricted movement. Spinal decompression addresses these issues directly by:

  • Reducing mechanical stress on the joints

  • Increasing joint space, allowing for better movement

  • Improving disc hydration and tissue repair

  • Relieving pressure on nerves that may be inflamed due to arthritic changes

This therapy has helped many patients in Lexington, SC regain their quality of life without surgery.


What to Expect During Treatment

A typical spinal decompression session at Midlands Spine Center is:

  • Comfortable and pain-free

  • Completed in about 20–30 minutes

  • Customized to your condition and spinal level

  • Conducted in a quiet, relaxing setting

Most patients begin to feel relief after just a few sessions. For best results, Dr. Mubarak typically recommends a treatment plan of 15–20 sessions over several weeks.
