Spinal Decompression with the Kennedy Neural-Flex Table

Kennedy Decompression Technique

Dr. Steven Tinlin is certified in the Kennedy Decompression Technique. KDT is non-surgical, calibrated decompression machine which is individually customized to each patient based on their weight, duration of pull and rest phases, and “directional preference” of flexion or extension. This is not a one-size-fits-all therapy!

KDT is a proven clinical option for those enduring acute or chronic pain due to vertebral disc dysfunction, spinal stenosis, vertebral joint degeneration, and for those considering surgical decompression and even some chronic post-surgical cases. Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers, and technicians at major teaching hospitals. The KDT table is the most advanced and versatile spinal decompression table providing patient comfort to attain optimal clinical outcomes.

Dr. Tinlin often applies the powerful K-Laser Cube to the lumbar spine while decompression is being applied. The K-Laser is a Class IV, FDA-registered device which provides a deep, penetrating warmth which dilates blood vessels, accelerates oxygen exchange and pumps metabolic waste out of the area leading to pain relief and improved function. (Learn more about K-Laser on this website.)

Healing is not an event; it is a process. As much as we love to help people make as full a recovery as possible, it is important to manage expectations. The standard of care for spinal decompression is 20 sessions. We have concluded that there is no set number of sessions and results are extremely individualized and are dramatically influenced by taking the comprehensive approach we devised from clinical experience.

If you are suffering from neck, shoulder or arm pain or lower back pain and/or leg pain, call Tinlin Chiropractic today at (502) 897-5181.

Dr. Tinlin has been fantastic to work with. I have seen him for years now, and I have never been disappointed. Truly listens and works the areas needed, making sure you are good to go or have a plan scheduled before leaving the office.

I have been with Dr. Tinlin for about seven years now. I came to him when my back was in a terrible condition, so bad it hurt to bend over to put socks and shoes on. Dr Tinlin took the time to not only address the issue I had at that moment, but learn the stresses that I put my body under as part of my occupation and give me preventative techniques to mitigate further issues! I now see Dr. Tinlin once a month for maintenance adjustments. If I need to schedule an appointment between the maintenance appointments, he is extremely accommodating, and it is very easy to utilize his online portal. My experience with Dr. Tinlin has extended my ability to continue my occupation without pain and suffering due to the nature of my job. I have referred multiple family members, friends, and fellow employees to Dr. Tinlin for the services that he can provide and the personal nature that he offers.

I have been seeing Dr. Tinlin now for several years. What I appreciate most about him is his attention to detail and willingness to listen. I underwent major back surgery almost twenty years ago and I’ve never found anyone who cares more about the wellbeing of his patients. I would and have recommended Dr. Tinlin to friends and family because of the level of care he provides is second to none.

I have been going to Dr. Tinlin for about 5 years now. I had daily neck pains and headaches that would hurt all day. He helped me with adjustments every other month for a few years. Over time, with his adjustments and recommendations, I no longer have those daily pains. He has helped me with comfort in my daily life. Since then, I go every 3 months for an adjustment. Always professional and actually listens to your problems and gets them fixed! I’m a younger guy (27), but back, neck, shoulder, etc. pain can get anyone! Almost my entire family now goes to Dr. Tinlin for adjustments. Definitely recommend setting up an appointment for the first patient assessment. He will help you out!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Tinlin for years! He is exceptional. I’ve had back issues for as long as I can remember and I’ve tried multiple chiros in the area, but he was the only one who ever really took time to learn the nuances of my issues, hear me out, understand causes, and develop plans for improvement. When I have flare ups, he is attuned to the situation and knows how to navigate without me explaining. He’s also recommended natural remedies, supplements, and other practitioners for other health areas, too. He takes a holistic approach to chiropractic health, not just a simple crack and a paycheck. I’d recommend him over and over!

I can’t say enough great things about Tinlin Chiropractic. After my car accident, I was in pain, overwhelmed, and unsure if I’d ever feel like myself again. From the very beginning, their team listened carefully, created a personalized treatment plan, and supported me every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their consistent follow-up and genuine care. They didn’t just treat my injuries, Dr. Tinlin stayed engaged in my progress, made adjustments when needed, and encouraged me to focus on long-term health. Because of their expertise and commitment, I not only recovered, but I was able to return to an active lifestyle and complete my first marathon something that felt impossible after my accident. I’m incredibly grateful for their knowledge, encouragement, and dedication to helping patients thrive. If you’re looking for a chiropractic team that truly cares and delivers real results, I highly recommend them.

I have been under the care of Dr Tinlin for over ten years now. He takes care of the whole patient and always stays on top of advancements that may help them. The scheduling process is easy and I can usually get in very quickly. There is plenty of parking at the building and the office is conveniently located to major expressways. I have only had positive experiences, and highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Tinlin is an excellent chiropractor—attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in your recovery. My back pain had reached a point where it was seriously affecting my quality of life, and his care made a big difference. He took the time to listen and tailor treatment to what I needed. Thanks to him, I’m back to doing the things I love, including playing pickleball again. I’m very grateful and highly recommend Dr. Tinlin.
