Spinal Decompression Therapy: Helping Your Back and Neck Feel Better

Do you have pain in your back or neck? Spinal decompression therapy might help! This safe, gentle therapy takes pressure off the spine. It can help with problems like herniated discs (when a disc pushes out of place), bulging discs, sciatica (pain down the leg), and worn-out discs.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on the discs. This can help with pain relief and make it easier to move around.

Spinal Decompression for Neck Pain

The neck, or cervical spine, allows you to move your head in different directions. However, this can also make it easy to hurt or wear out.

How It Helps:

• Pain Relief: It takes pressure off the discs in the neck, which can relieve pain.
• Better Movement: It helps the neck move more freely, making daily activities easier.
• Nerve Relief: Decompression can also help with tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms and hands.

Who Can Benefit?

Spinal decompression for the neck can help people with:

• Constant neck pain
• Discs in the neck that are out of place
• Pain that spreads from the neck to the arms
• Worn-out discs in the neck

Spinal Decompression for Lower Back Pain

The lower back, or lumbar spine, supports much of the body’s weight, making it easy to injure or wear out over time. Spinal decompression can reduce pain in the lower back and nearby areas.

How It Helps:

• Pain Relief: It takes pressure off the lower back discs, helping with pain in the back, hips, and legs.
• Healing Discs: The gentle stretching helps fluids move into the discs, keeping them healthy.
• Sciatica Relief: It can help with sciatica, pain going down the leg.

Who Can Benefit?

People who have:

• Long-term lower back pain
• Lower back discs that are out of place
• Sciatica or leg pain
• Worn-out lower back discs

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

In a session, you lie on a special table that stretches your spine. This gentle pull allows the discs to return to their proper position, relieving pain and helping you feel better.

What to Expect in Treatment

• Length of Session: Sessions usually last 15-25 minutes.
• Number of Sessions: You might need several sessions over a few weeks.
• Additional Treatments: Spinal decompression is often combined with other treatments, such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, and nutrition support, to help patients heal faster.
