about this treatment

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc.

Your Guide to Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression

What does Spinal Decompression do?

During Spinal Decompression, a chiropractor employs specialized equipment or manual techniques to apply gentle traction to the spine, aiming to alleviate pressure on the intervertebral discs and promote spinal realignment. By carefully stretching the spine, they seek to create negative pressure within the discs, which may help to alleviate pain and improve overall spinal health. This process is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan designed to address conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and general back pain.

How often should you see a Chiropractor for Spinal Decompression?

Typically, a treatment plan may involve multiple sessions per week for several weeks, followed by a reduction in frequency as symptoms improve. It's important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the appropriate frequency based on your specific condition and response to treatment.

How does Spinal Decompression work?

Spinal decompression is closely associated with chiropractic care, as it is often utilized by chiropractors to address spinal issues such as herniated discs and sciatica. Chiropractors may incorporate spinal decompression therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at relieving back pain and improving spinal health. This non-invasive technique aligns with the holistic approach of chiropractic care, focusing on natural methods to promote healing and alleviate discomfort.

When is the right time for Spinal Decompression treatment?

The right time to consider seeing a spinal decompression practitioner is when conservative treatments for back pain, such as pain relievers, rest, heat, and cold therapy, have not provided significant relief.

Spinal decompression therapy may be considered for individuals experiencing chronic back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, or other related conditions.

Spinal Decompression helps treat the following conditions:

Spinal decompression is commonly used to treat various spinal conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis.

This non-invasive therapy aims to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, reduce pain, and promote overall spinal wellness. It is often integrated into comprehensive treatment plans for individuals experiencing chronic back pain or related spinal issues.
