Decompression

Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive chiropractic treatment aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, alleviating pain, and promoting healing. This technique is often used to address conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

How It Works

Spinal Decompression involves gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and relieve pressure on the nerves. This process, known as decompression, promotes the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the affected discs, facilitating healing and reducing inflammation. Spinal Decompression can be performed using various devices, including traction tables, decompression tables, and specialized equipment designed specifically for this purpose.

Key Benefits

     - Pain Relief: Spinal Decompression can significantly reduce or eliminate pain associated with spinal disc conditions, such as sciatica or disc herniation.

     - Non-Invasive: This technique is non-surgical and non-invasive, making it a safe and effective alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery.

     - Improved Function: By relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, Spinal Decompression can improve mobility, range of motion, and overall spinal health.

What to Expect

During a Spinal Decompression session, the patient will lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table or device. The chiropractor will then secure the patient using harnesses or straps and initiate the decompression process. The treatment typically consists of a series of gentle stretching and relaxation phases, allowing the spine to gradually decompress. Patients often find the treatment to be relaxing and may experience immediate relief or improvement in their symptoms.

Ideal for

Spinal Decompression is suitable for individuals suffering from various spinal disc conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. It is particularly beneficial for patients who wish to avoid surgery or are seeking a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments. Spinal Decompression is safe for most individuals, although it may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions or contraindications.
