What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process helps relieve pressure on compressed nerves, promote proper spinal alignment, and accelerate the healing of damaged tissues. It’s a safe and effective alternative to surgery for many patients suffering from back or neck pain.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression Therapy
Herniated or Bulging Discs: When a disc in the spine bulges or herniates, it can press on surrounding nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling. Spinal decompression creates space in the spinal discs, helping to reduce pressure and promote healing.
Sciatica: Pain that radiates down the leg from a compressed nerve in the lower back. Spinal decompression helps relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Degenerative Disc Disease: As discs naturally wear down over time, they can lose hydration and elasticity, causing pain and stiffness. Spinal decompression rehydrates the discs and promotes healing.
Facet Joint Syndrome: When the small joints in the spine become irritated or inflamed, it can lead to back pain. Spinal decompression reduces the pressure on these joints, providing relief from discomfort.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain and numbness. Spinal decompression creates space in the spine to alleviate this pressure.
How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?
Spinal decompression therapy uses a specialized table that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure allows the discs to retract, reducing pressure on the nerves and promoting the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the damaged tissues. The process is gradual and precise, providing relief without the need for surgery.
The Steps Involved in Spinal Decompression Therapy:
Initial Consultation: We start by evaluating your medical history and performing a physical examination to determine if spinal decompression is the right treatment for you. If necessary, we may use diagnostic imaging like X-rays or MRIs.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your condition, we create a customized spinal decompression plan that may include multiple sessions over a few weeks. Each session typically lasts about 20-30 minutes.
During Treatment: You will lie comfortably on the decompression table, and gentle traction forces will be applied to your spine. The treatment is painless, and many patients feel relaxed during their sessions.
After Treatment: Most patients report feeling relief after their first few sessions. While some soreness may occur in the treated area, it is usually temporary and resolves quickly. We will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
Non-Surgical: A safe alternative to surgery, allowing patients to avoid the risks and recovery times associated with spinal surgery.
Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant relief from chronic back and neck pain, sciatica, and other related conditions.
Improved Mobility: Decompression helps restore spinal flexibility and function, making it easier to move and perform daily activities.
Enhanced Healing: By promoting the flow of nutrients to the discs and tissues, spinal decompression accelerates the body’s natural healing process.
Long-Term Results: Spinal decompression can provide lasting relief, especially when combined with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy.

Customized Treatment Plan: We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. The number of treatments may vary depending on the severity of your condition. Most patients experience relief after a series of treatments.
