Spinal Decompression

    Spinal decompression is a type of  traction that may help relieve back pain and neck pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, which changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off of the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off 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 may use spinal decompression to treat:

  • Back or neck pain or sciatica, which is pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg
  • Bulging or herniated disks or degenerative disk disease
  • Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
  • Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
  • Offering lumber and cervical spinal decompression at our clinic! Call for details.
