Spinal Decompression
Whether you have severe back pain or a bulging or herniated disc, you want effective and lasting relief. Many people are told they’ll need surgery or painkillers, both of which can be risky. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a drug-free option to address your pain or disc issue. Best of all, you won’t need to go under the knife.
At Balanced Life Chiropractic, we use several methods of spinal decompression, including flexion distraction, lumbar traction, and the mechanical traction table to achieve the same goal of decompressing the spine.
Conditions It Can Help
Here are some of the main conditions that this therapy can address:
- Bulging or herniated disc
- Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
- Moderate to Severe arthritis
- Sciatica
- Spinal Stenosis
How Computerized Decompression Works
You will get harnessed to our mechanical traction table, which will ever so slowly and gently stretch your spine, and then it relaxes. This process opens up the space between spinal bones, creating a type of “respiration” in the fluid that surrounds the joint. The damaged disc, nerve, or joint receives nourishment and gets rid of cellular waste, enhancing the healing process.
The session typically lasts between 8-10 minutes after the adjustment, after which the patient can go home. Symptom relief depends on each case, depending on severity.
