Overview

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a revolutionary technology used primarily to treat disc injuries in the lower back. This procedure uses FDA cleared equipment to apply precise distraction forces to spinal structures, followed by cycles of partial relaxation. Dr. Pollack at the Milwaukee Pain Clinic offers Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression as one of his back pain treatment options. The benefits of lumbar decompression are two-fold. First, the cycles of decompression and partial relaxation allows water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the injured discs. These nutrients promote the healing process. Second, spinal decompression therapy has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other. This causes a “vacuum effect”, known as negative intra-discal pressure, which may induce the retraction of herniated or bulging discs.
