Grosse Pointe Spine Center

GROSE POINTE WOODS — A robust spinal decompression practice is what sets Grosse Pointe Spine Center apart from other chiropractic clinics in the area. Dr. Lawrence Mosurak III specializes in using spinal decompression as a patient-centered, nonsurgical approach to treating chronic pain in metro Detroit. 

Grosse Pointe Spine Center recently added a third DRX-9000 spinal decompression machine to meet growing demand. The machine provides a nonsurgical way to correct herniated, bulging and degenerative discs to reduce and often eliminate pain and prevent surgeries. The process can help individuals manage and overcome conditions such as back and neck pain, sciatica, and degenerative disc issues — often without medication or surgery.

“Every person and condition is different, but when we first meet with a patient, we conduct a thorough evaluation to see if (spinal decompression) might work for them,” Mosurak said. “If so, it can help eliminate the need for pain medications or surgery. The technology of these machines continues to improve and we’ve had great success treating lower back pain with sciatica as well as neck pain shooting into the arms.” 

The practice relocated to Grosse Pointe Woods in early 2024 after several years in Warren, marking a return to the community that Mosurak calls home. Since opening its new location, the clinic has emphasized a combination of chiropractic care along with advanced, nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy aimed at addressing the root causes of pain rather than simply treating symptoms. 

“Most people have tried everything else before they find out about spinal decompression,” Mosurak said. “It doesn’t make sense for everyone, but the goal is to help patients live the life they want without major restrictions.” That can include everything from playing golf and working out to walking without pain.

The DRX-9000 spinal decompression machine is like a bed that stretches out the lower back or neck and shoulder areas. National studies have shown that it offers a 90% success rate for many patients. The initial, no-fee consultation helps to determine how many treatments are needed
