SPINAL DECOMPRESSION
Spinal decompression is an excellent choice for many people who have lower back or neck problems. We recommend this therapy for patients with acute or chronic radiating pain, MRI confirmation of disc issues, and for those who want to avoid medication, injections or surgery.
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is an effective non-surgical approach to addressing disc problems, such as herniated or bulging discs, sciatic pain, stenosis, radiating neck and back pain, degenerative disc disease or chronic lower back pain. It can be highly effective, even for patients who have had no success with other traditional or alternative options. Research shows an 86-91% success rate when using spinal decompression for symptoms of sciatica, bulging or herniated discs, and neck and back pain.
What to expect
Spinal decompression is a state-of-the-art therapy utilizing a specialized table.
When your spine is stretched in a specific way, it helps create negative pressure and increases the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the discs and joints. Creating space will help to alleviate pain, reduce pressure on discs and nerves, and increase circulation to help speed the healing process.
Who can benefit from decompression?
Decompression is effective at treating many spine and nerve conditions, including the following:
- Cervical disc bulge or herniation
- Chronic neck pain
- Headaches
- Neck pain radiating into arms or hands
- Lumbar disc bulge or herniation
- Sciatic pian
- Chronic low back pain
- Low back pain radiating into legs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Cervical or lumbar stenosis
- Pinched nerves
Decompression therapy is generally painless, and most people find it relaxing and often fall asleep. As with all our care, your decompression care plan will be customized to your specific needs and goals.
