Spinal Decompression Therapy
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
This therapy gently and rhythmically stretches the spine and pumps the spinal discs creating significantly enhanced flow of fluid and nutrients to help rehydrate and nourish the disc and support healing. The pumping also helps to reposition disc bulges and herniations toward the center of the disc where they belong and away from sensitive spinal nerves.. This process helps to:
Reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves
The therapy is performed while you lie comfortably on a decompression table. The computer-controlled device precisely adjusts the angle and force of traction, targeting the specific area of concern.
Conditions Decompression Therapy Can Treat
Spinal decompression therapy helps restore hydration and nutrient flow to spinal tissues. This pumping action creates negative pressure in the disks to help centralize bulges and herniations. These effects combined with class IV laser, chiropractic care, and therapeutic exercise promote natural healing and pain relief.
Herniated Or Bulging Discs
Degenerative Disc Disease
Sciatica (Pain Radiating Down The Leg)
Spinal Stenosis
Facet Syndrome
Chronic Lower Back Or Neck Pain
Spondylolisthesis
Cervical Radiculopathy (Pain Radiating Down The Arm)
Why Use Class IV Laser At The Same Time?
When combined with Class IV laser therapy, decompression treatments can be even more effective. The laser helps reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and promote faster healing enhancing the overall benefits of decompression therapy. Research shows that Class IV laser heals the disk 200 times faster than it would on its own.
Is It Right for You?
Not everyone is a candidate for spinal decompression therapy. During your initial consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment—including a physical exam and review of your medical history—to determine if decompression therapy is the right solution for your condition.
