Spinal Decompression

This gentle, non-surgical treatment can provide lower back pain relief, and sciatica relief, and helps with bulging/herniated discs or degenerative disc disease in the lumbar region.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create decompression of the spine while improving blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation throughout treatment.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

Therapy sessions are typically two times per week for one month and last less than 20 minutes to transition from passive to active treatments as you respond. Most patients experience pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments and are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of muscles, tendons, and ligaments is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, class IV laser therapy, and muscle stimulation can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also to enhance muscular control and support of the back.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of recurrence. Clinical results of this procedure have been effective in over 75% of the patients treated; most patients find long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they complete the entire program of treatments utilizing Spinal Decompression.
