What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy has the primary goal of reducing or eliminating pain that’s associated with compression on the spine. The spine is comprised of 24 vertebrae, which are small bones that are stacked to create the spinal column. Between each of these vertebrae is a disc, which is formed from tissue and provides a cushioning effect when you move. When a person experiences a compression-related problem on the spine, it can cause serious and prolonged pain in the back.

In most cases, the focus of spinal decompression will be to relieve pressure on the spinal discs, which in turn can reduce pressure on the nerves in the lower spine – a common cause of back pain, stiffness, and even cognitive problems. By achieving a reduction in pressure, pain in the back can be reduced, circulation enhanced, and function of the spine restored, improving quality of life.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?

Depending on the decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical spinal decompression, the procedure for decompression will vary greatly. For non-surgical treatment, relief from back pain is generally achieved using a spinal decompression system, and the treatment can be performed by a trained chiropractor.

Spinal decompression systems use motorized traction tables to reduce pressure on the spine by stretching and releasing the spine and separating the joints and bones in the back, as well as the discs. The capabilities of spinal traction include the ability to change the position of the disc material and retract it, reducing pain and promoting healing in the process. The computerized system gives the chiropractor the ability to make careful adjustments to traction angle and force, to achieve negative pressure.

Non- Spinal Decompression is designed to correct:

• Disc herniations
• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet syndrome
• Sciatica
• Spinal canal stenosis

Spinal Decompression delivers specific traction to the compressed disc to allow nutrients, blood flow, and bulged material to return into the compressed disc. The traction is done by a computerized unit that gently distracts the spine apart and allows it to rest every minute throughout the session. Each session is usually less than 30 minutes and most patients report simply feeling a slight gentle stretching at their low back or neck. Spinal
