Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive, revolutionary treatment for chronic back and neck pain. It works by gently stretching the spine using a motorized traction table to change the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks—gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine—by creating negative pressure in the disc.
As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn helps promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal naturally.
Conditions We Treat
This therapy is highly effective for patients suffering from lingering pain who wish to avoid surgery or heavy medication. It targets the root cause of the pain rather than just masking symptoms.
- Back pain or neck pain (Sciatica)
- Bulging or herniated disks
- Degenerative disk disease
- Worn spinal joints (Posterior Facet Syndrome)
- Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
- Numbness or tingling in extremities
Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding your treatment is key to recovery. Here are common questions patients ask about Spinal Decompression.
No, the treatment is generally not painful. In fact, most patients find it very relaxing and some even fall asleep during the session. You may feel a gentle stretch in your back or hips, but it should not cause discomfort.
A typical session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. The total number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the condition, but a common protocol involves 15 to 30 treatments over a period of several weeks.
Yes. Standard traction applies a steady pull, which can sometimes cause muscles to spasm. Spinal Decompression uses computer-controlled sensors to alternate between stretching and relaxation, bypassing the body's muscle spasm reaction and allowing for true decompression of the disc.
