Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical alternative targeted at relieving, healing and resolving lower back and neck pain and limited mobility issues due to spinal disc injury. This innovative treatment slowly and gently lengthens, and pumps compressed vertebral discs through repetitive motions on a decompression table. These motions are customized to pinpoint specific areas of the injured disc, creating a negative pressure change within the disc which allows it to decompress and regain its proper length and space requirements within the spine.
One of the difficulties involved with compressed discs is their general inability to heal, due to the fact they are constantly in use and thus constantly under pressure, as well as the lack of blood supply to the area of the body the spine is located within. Spinal decompression therapy enables the bulging disc and valuable disc nutrients and joint fluid to be drawn back into the center of the affected disc, relieving the initial pain of the compression at the site of the nerve root as well as hastening the body’s natural healing abilities.
Spinal decompression treatments generally last 30 to 45 minutes and significant pain relief and resolution is typically experienced after 20 to 25 treatments over five to seven-week time period. Other treatments can be offered as complementary therapies before or after a spinal decompression therapy session and may include electrical stimulation. ultrasound and/or hot, cold or contrast therapy.
Spinal Decompression Therapy can painlessly and non-invasively treat the following disc related conditions:
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Degenerative Disc Disease
Spinal Stenosis
Pinched Nerves
Sciatica
Chronic back or neck pain that has resisted relief from other medical interventions
