What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is an FDA-approved, non-surgical way to help ease pain and discomfort from disc-related back and neck problems. This modern treatment takes about 10–20 minutes and uses mechanically assisted intermittent traction to help people dealing with issues like herniated discs, degeneration, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. Most of these conditions come from pressure on the spinal nerves and surrounding structures.
Common conditions:
- Bulging/Herniated Discs
- Posterior Facet Syndrome
- Sciatica
- Post Surgical Patients
- Spinal Stenosis
- Mechanical Low Back and Neck Pain
How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy work?
There are two main types of spinal decompression: cervical decompression, which focuses on the neck, and lumbar decompression, which targets the lower back. Both are effective in treating spinal issues and improving overall spine health.
In a spinal decompression session, the patient relaxes on a special table while a harness is secured around their lower back. The chiropractor sets up a computer-controlled program that gently applies traction to the spine, creating negative pressure in the discs. This helps pull bulging or herniated discs back into place, easing pressure on the nerves. It also brings water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs, supporting the healing of damaged tissue. The treatment can reduce pain and inflammation, boost mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.
Is spinal decompression right for me?
If you’ve been dealing with sharp, shooting pain, numbness, or tingling, spinal decompression therapy could be worth considering as a treatment option.
For most patients, spinal decompression is combined with a home exercise routine and gentle therapies that help improve the function of ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Along with adjustments, this addresses every aspect of a spinal condition. One of the biggest benefits of getting spinal decompression from a chiropractor is the well-rounded treatment plan, which goes beyond just the therapy itself to ensure the best results. This approach not only relieves pain but also speeds up recovery.
