Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a therapeutic treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine by gently stretching (or decompressing) it, which can help reposition herniated or bulging discs, improve circulation to the affected area, and promote healing. This treatment is often used for individuals suffering from chronic back pain, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis. It can be an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery or for
patients who have not found relief through other treatments.
Conditions It Can Help
Here’s a list of conditions that non-surgical spinal decompression can help
address:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (radiating leg pain)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint syndrome
- Pinched nerves
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Post-surgical back pain (in some cases)
- Disc-related injuries or conditions causing nerve compression
This therapy can be tailored to individual needs, making it a versatile option for many spinal issues.
How It Works
You will get harnessed to our computerized decompression table, which will ever so slowly and gently stretch your spine. And then relax. This process opens up the space between spinal bones, creating a type of “respiration” of the fluid that surrounds the joint. The damaged disc receives nourishment and gets rid of cellular waste, enhancing the healing process.
