Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy

If you have lasting back pain and other related symptoms, you know how disruptive to your life it can be. You may be unable to think of little else except finding relief. Some people turn to spinal decompression therapy.
 

What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This will take pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine.

Over time, negative pressure from this therapy may cause bulging or herniated disks to retract. That can take pressure off the nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Doctors have used spinal decompression to treat:

  • Back, neck pain or sciatica- which is pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg

  • Bulging or herniated discs or degenerative disc disease

  • Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)

  • Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots (called radiculopathy)
