Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
For 30+ years, Dr. David Cuccia has helped patients escape chronic back, neck, and nerve pain using the Extentrac Elite — a decompression system he invented and refined right here in Syosset.
What we treat
Most back and leg pain traces back to the discs and nerves of the spine. We target those causes directly — relieving pressure so the body can heal.
Shooting leg pain, numbness, and tingling from a compressed nerve root.
Disc material pressing on nearby nerves, eased through gentle decompression.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that crowds the cord and nerves.
Worn, thinning discs that lead to stiffness and chronic ache.
Nerve compression causing pain, weakness, or radiating symptoms.
Slipped vertebrae and irritated joints that destabilize the lower back.
The Technology
Conventional traction pulls the spine in a single, flat line. The Extentrac Elite does something no other device can: multi-directional disc decompression (M3D).
It positions and decompresses the spine through multiple planes and angles, targeting the exact disc and nerve causing your pain — precisely, comfortably, and without surgery.
What makes us different
Most decompression offices use the same off-the-shelf traction tables. We don't — and that difference is the whole point.
Dr. Cuccia invented the Extentrac Elite. Here you're cared for on the very device that defines non-surgical decompression — not a generic copy.
The M3D technique decompresses through several planes and angles to reach the exact disc and nerve behind your pain.
Three decades devoted to spinal pain — the experience to know what will help, and just as importantly, what won't.
We start with the least invasive option. Many patients find lasting relief without ever stepping into an operating room.

Meet your doctor
Dr. Cuccia has spent more than three decades helping people in and around Syosset get out of pain and back to their lives — many after being told surgery was their only option.
Frustrated by the limits of ordinary traction, he invented the Extentrac Elite to decompress the spine the way the body actually moves. Today his work is recognized by patients and practitioners well beyond Long Island.

A different first step
Surgery is permanent, costly, and carries real risk. For most disc and nerve conditions, non-surgical decompression is a sensible first step — one that has helped countless patients avoid the OR entirely.
If you've been told you "just have to live with it," it may be worth a second opinion.
