Spinal Decompression Questions & Answers
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical chiropractic technique that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This treatment is performed using a specialized table with motorized traction, designed to carefully reduce compression from herniated discs, pinched nerves, or other spinal conditions.
The controlled stretching motion helps improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the spine, supporting the body’s natural healing process and relieving pain.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
Spinal decompression is a safe and effective treatment for managing pain associated with several spinal conditions, including:
Herniated disc
Spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. When the outer layer of a disc becomes damaged, the inner material may protrude and irritate surrounding nerves. Spinal decompression helps reduce disc pressure and nerve irritation.
Sciatica
Compression of the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc or muscle injury, can lead to lower back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness radiating down one leg. Decompression therapy helps relieve pressure on the nerve.
Posterior facet syndrome
Facet joints in the lower back allow for spinal movement. Repetitive stress or degeneration of these joints can cause pain and inflammation. Spinal decompression may help reduce joint stress and nerve irritation.
Compressed or damaged spinal nerve roots
When spinal nerve roots become compressed or irritated, pain can radiate through the spine and into the arms or legs. Spinal decompression works by relieving pressure on these nerves to promote healing.
What happens during spinal decompression treatment?
During non-surgical spinal decompression, you will lie comfortably on a specialized treatment table. A harness is used to support your upper and lower body while the table gently stretches and relaxes the spine in a controlled manner.
This process reduces pressure on affected discs and nerves, allowing injured tissues to heal more effectively. Treatments are typically comfortable and tailored to your specific condition.
