Spinal Decompression Therapy

Decompression Therapy

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

A Non-Invasive Option

Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, which changes its force and position. This change takes the pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, this gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and sciatica pain relief using a state-of-the-art procedure for bulging, herniated or degenerative discs in the lumbar regions. This, in turn, helps promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a variety of dynamic protocols to include unilateral or bilateral lateral flexion of the spine for one-sided sciatica or pain from scoliosis.

Spinal Decompression Therapy FAQ's

  • How does Spinal Decompression work?

    Spinal decompression therapy relieves pressure from the shock-absorbing discs between the vertebrae. The cushioning discs can get damaged from a spinal injury, poor posture or other health conditions. This causes severe neck and back pain that can be relieved through a series of spinal decompression treatments to create quick, effective vacuum forces inside these discs. This vacuum pressure helps pump nutrition into and waste products out of the disc, therefore hydrating the discs. By this tractioning of the discs, pressure is relieved from the pinched nerves and helps to alleviate back and neck pain while providing pain relief from the disc itself.

  • What are the symptoms of Spinal Decompression patients?

    Spinal decompression has been most effective for patients who suffer from the following conditions: Sciatica or other radiating nerve pain, neck pain, back pain, spinal injury, and headaches that stem from nerves pinched by degenerative arthritis, bulging, or herniated discs.

  • How does Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic work together?

    Most people can benefit from chiropractic adjustments. Any trauma, bump or bruise can cause a vertebra to become misaligned. A misaligned vertebrae is called a subluxation and usually requires chiropractic care to realign the misaligned vertebrae. Subluxations occur when vertebrae are not in the correct position or alignment. Everyone's body gets out of whack for a variety of reasons. However, some patients need care outside of their regular chiropractic adjustments to maximize their functional improvement. If you suffer from back pain, disc problems, radiating pain or tingling and numbness in the legs or feet, you may need treatment beyond the vertebrae realignment from an adjustment. Spinal decompression addresses all facets of your neck and back pain. We will bridge the gap by treating your overall spinal health through chiropractic care while also treating your specific condition through spinal decompression treatments. These therapies help to prevent unnecessary use of drugs or surgery.

  • How do I know if I am a good candidate for Spinal Decompression?

    Spinal decompression is safe for most patients. It is a great alternative to drugs and surgery. During your consultation, we will do a complete examination to rule out any conditions that might show contraindications to doing the treatment.

  • How many manual spinal decompression treatments does it take before I see improvement?

    This depends greatly on your individual condition of your spinal health. We have seen people stand up after the first treatment and notice significant improvement. Most people will notice some improvement immediately, but it may be a day or two to notice more significant relief. Others it may take 4-6 treatments to feel a significant improvement, it will again be different for each person depending on the severity of their spinal condition.
