Spinal Decompression:
“The Future Of Treating Chronic Back Pain, Surgery And Opioid Free.”

Although chiropractors treat more than just back pain, many patients initially visit a chiropractor looking for relief from this pervasive condition. In fact, about 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. Worldwide, back pain is the single leading cause of disability, preventing many people from engaging in work as well as other everyday activities.
The opioid epidemic has led many respected health groups to reconsider the value of a conservative approach to low back pain (the most common condition for which opioids are prescribed).
Herniated and bulging discs can cause severe pain in the lower back. But Spinal Decompression is a unique treatment is helping patients become pain free again.
Spinal Decompression
This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off 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.
What does non-surgical spinal decompression feel like?
Our goal is to not only help heal the disc, but to also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.
Simply lie down and then a specialized belt is gently put around the waist. The machine is set to focus on the problem area (low back, upper back, neck, etc.), then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest.
The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You’ll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduates to a peak over a period of several minutes.
Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.
Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles, pain free.
