What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, computer-controlled therapy that gradually stretches and relaxes the spine. The goal is to create negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing herniated or bulging material to retract. This takes pressure off the nerves and promotes the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the disc, which can speed up healing.
Unlike surgery, there are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime. Most patients find the experience relaxing – some even fall asleep during treatment!
Here’s what spinal decompression can do for you:
Relieve Pressure: Helps retract herniated or bulging disc material away from nerves, reducing pain.
Promote Healing: Encourages the flow of oxygen and nutrients into the disc to support natural healing.
Reduce Nerve Pain: Eases pressure on pinched nerves, which may relieve symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Improve Mobility: As pain decreases, many patients find they can move more freely and comfortably.
What to Expect During Treatment:
At DK Spine Chiros, your spinal decompression therapy session will take about 20 to 30 minutes. You’ll lie comfortably on a motorized table while a harness gently supports your lower back or neck. The machine will apply precise stretching and relaxing movements based on your specific condition and comfort level.
Most patients begin with a series of sessions spread over several weeks, depending on the severity of the condition. We often combine decompression therapy with chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, therapeutic exercises, or other natural modalities for the best results.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?
Spinal decompression therapy can be an excellent option if you have:
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica or radiating nerve pain
Chronic back or neck pain that hasn’t been resolved with other treatments
However, spinal decompression may not be recommended if you have certain conditions such as spinal fractures, tumors, severe osteoporosis, or have had certain spinal surgeries. An initial comprehensive evaluation with our team will allow us to determine if your condition is a good fit for spinal decompression therapy.
