What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve chronic back pain, neck pain, and disc-related conditions. It works by gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the spinal discs. This process helps reposition herniated or bulging discs, improves blood flow, and promotes healing of damaged tissue.
Spinal decompression is often recommended for people suffering from:
Herniated or bulging discs
Sciatica
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis
Pinched nerves
Chronic neck or lower back pain
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
During a spinal decompression session, you lie comfortably on a specially designed traction table. A computer-controlled system applies precise, gentle forces to stretch and relax your spine. This controlled movement relieves pressure on spinal discs and nerves, while also creating space for nutrients, oxygen, and water to reach the affected areas.
A full course typically involves multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and individual goals.
