Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and its surrounding structures, such as nerves, discs, and muscles. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain caused by auto injuries or degenerative spinal conditions. The goal of spinal decompression is to create space within the spinal column, relieving the pressure that causes pain and discomfort.

During spinal decompression therapy, the patient is positioned on a specialized table that gently stretches and relaxes the spine. This controlled stretching creates a vacuum effect in the discs, which helps reposition herniated or bulging discs, promoting the reabsorption of herniated disc material and enhancing nutrient flow to damaged areas. This process can help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.

Spinal decompression is an effective alternative to surgery for many individuals dealing with chronic back pain or disc issues. It is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and can be combined with other treatments like physical therapy or chiropractic adjustments for more comprehensive results.
