Non-surgical spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches a targeted area of the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc to alleviate the painful symptoms of nerve compression. Through this process, decompression increases intervertebral mobility, reduces pain due to nerve compression, and stimulates the natural healing process.

These Testimonials and Ratings from Our Patients Say It All
No need to spend any more time researching chiropractors. I can assure you Mark is the best you're going to find.I've seen Mark over the past year for some challenging issues, and he's been a tremendous help throughout. He's the best for a few reasons:1) As experienced as they get. He's been doing this for a long time and has seen just about everything by now.2) He listens and really cares. He really takes the time to understand your symptoms and find the right treatment plan. I've yet to find someone that genuinely cares about his patients / clients (in any area) as much as Mark does.3) He's comprehensive in how he treats you. Most other chiropractors do a few quick adjustments, maybe some e-stim and you're on your way in 10 minutes. Mark is great with adjustments but he does so much more than that when it comes to working on your body. Spinal decompression, traction of my lower back, trigger point work; he does a little bit of everything to get you back to your best.I rarely write reviews, but after seeing so many chiropractors that I've had disappointing experiences with, I think it's important to highlight how helpful Mark is.
Dr. Mark Larinde has been helping me for several years with my neck issues and all around issues associated with being a dancer/choreographer. He is wonderful at identifying the exact point of trauma and addressing it. Not only do I get relief from each visit, but he gives me personalized exercises to help heal and overcome my issues.Dr. Mark's warm and friendly approach is wonderful and he helps calm your muscles down prior to the adjustments, which is super helpful!Thank you Dr. Larinde at the Center for Health and Longevity!
This is the best chiropractor I've ever had! I'm a professional ballet dancer and he has helped me with so many issues! I leave feeling better than ever every time!
Dr Mark is a great chiropractor, with an added bonus of being a great human being. He has helped me tremendously. When I was in a lot of pain after a sudden injury - he made sure I could be seen quickly and effectively. I’m not comfortable with sudden adjustments. Dr Mark, respects that and goes slow and asks if I’m comfortable with what he is doing.Beautiful office space, extremely knowledge chiropractor and a kind person - if you’re looking for a chiropractor I highly recommend.
