How Spinal Decompression Works
This therapy involves the use of a specialized decompression table that applies controlled traction to the spine. The gentle stretching reduces pressure on spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract. This process also increases blood flow and nutrient exchange, which supports the body’s natural healing response.
Conditions That Benefit from Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions affecting the back and neck. Many patients find relief from chronic pain and mobility issues caused by pressure on the spine. Common conditions that respond well to this treatment include:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs – Reducing pressure on the discs helps them return to their normal position.
- Sciatica – Relieving nerve compression can ease pain that radiates down the legs.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Creating space between the vertebrae can slow disc deterioration.
- Chronic Back or Neck Pain – Stretching the spine alleviates tension and improves flexibility.
What to Expect During Treatment
A session typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Patients lie on a motorized table while our chiropractor adjusts the traction to target specific areas of the spine. The treatment is gentle and relaxing, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort. Several sessions may be needed to achieve lasting relief and maintain spinal health.
