Spinal Decompression Therapy

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. Neurology and Pain Treatment offers Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression as a prominent low back pain treatment option. 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 causes the retraction of herniated or bulging discs. The discs have deteriorated, protruded and/or ruptured which produces nerve pressure sensitization. Decompression structurally realigns you. This treatment is frequently combined with ligament stabilization and natural nerve rehabilitation therapies. You also will be given a lumbosacral movement assessment and learn how your back and pelvis are designed to work, how you unconsciously compensate, and a customized individualized effortless movement plan to treat your condition, fix your pain and increase your function.
