Decompression
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can be a life-altering condition that disrupts daily activities and limits mobility. It may stem from several underlying issues, such as:
-
Herniated or bulging discs, where spinal discs become damaged and protrude.
-
Degenerative disc disease, involving the gradual breakdown of spinal discs.
-
Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal.
-
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition affecting the joints.
-
Pinched nerves, resulting from nerve compression.
-
Sciatica, where the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain in the lower back, hip, and leg.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared therapy designed to relieve back pain by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
By creating negative pressure within the discs, spinal decompression encourages retraction of herniated or bulging disc material, alleviating nerve compression and facilitating disc healing.
Often combined with complementary physical therapies such as heat and cold applications, electrical stimulation, and massage, this treatment also helps promote the influx of healing nutrients and essential substances into the discs, enhancing recovery and reducing pain.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression
-
Restores Movement and Function
Spinal decompression therapy can restore mobility and increase your range of motion, helping you participate in daily activities and hobbies without pain or restriction.
-
Alleviates Pain, Numbness, and Tingling
If you’re experiencing discomfort like pain, numbness, or tingling in your back, arms, or legs, spinal decompression therapy offers effective relief by reducing pressure on affected nerves.
-
Prevents Further Disc and Nerve Degeneration
This therapy helps slow down or prevent additional wear on spinal discs and nerves, potentially avoiding the need for surgery or more invasive treatments.
-
A Non-Surgical Treatment Option
As a non-surgical approach, spinal decompression therapy eliminates the risks associated with surgery, such as infection, and usually requires minimal recovery time.
-
Cost-Effective Solution
Spinal decompression therapy is generally more affordable than surgical options, and many insurance providers may cover part of the treatment, making it an accessible choice.
