Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is used to alleviate pain and discomfort in the spine caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Here are some of the benefits of spinal decompression therapy:

1. Reduces pain: Spinal decompression therapy can reduce pain by creating negative pressure within the discs, which can help relieve pressure on nerves and reduce inflammation.
2. Improves mobility: By reducing pressure on the nerves and improving disc health, spinal decompression therapy can help improve mobility and flexibility in the spine.
3. Non-invasive: Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that does not require surgery or medication.
4. Safe: Spinal decompression therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions, and it is backed by extensive research and clinical studies.
5. Customizable: Spinal decompression therapy can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient, ensuring that they receive the most effective treatment possible.

1. Those with herniated or bulging discs: Spinal decompression therapy can help reduce pressure on the nerves caused by herniated or bulging discs, which can help alleviate pain and improve mobility.
2. Those with degenerative disc disease: Spinal decompression therapy can help reduce pressure on the discs, which can help slow the progression of degenerative disc disease and alleviate pain.
3. Those with sciatica: Spinal decompression therapy can help reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can help alleviate pain and improve mobility.
4. Those with spinal stenosis: Spinal decompression therapy can help alleviate pain and improve mobility in individuals with spinal stenosis by reducing pressure on the nerves in the spinal canal.
5. Those who have had back surgery: Spinal decompression therapy can be an effective treatment option for individuals who have had back surgery but continue to experience pain or discomfort.

Typically, results can be seen after the first session, but research points to 10-12 sessions to fully experience lasting effects. Treatment varies from person to person and is up to the provider to structure the best treatment plan for you. Nonsurgical back pain treatment can be a great addition to managing your back pain. 

As with any procedure, there are always side effects. However, spinal decompression is a gentle procedure with minimal side effects. Some patients report soreness in the area of decompression that typically does not last longer than 12 hours, and often followed by relief. It is common to feel some soreness after your session, as your body is not used to being decompressed. 

Each session runs from about 12-18 minutes of traction therapy. Lower back traction is typically a longer session compared to neck traction. Our chiropractor will always assess your progress at each visit and make changes to your nonsurgical back pain treatment/ spinal decompression therapy if needed.
