Decompression Blog

Simply stated, the term “spinal decompression” describes the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves of the spinal column. Spinal decompression can be achieved both surgically and non-surgically and is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back pain such as disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. If you are suffering from any of these conditions, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression therapy, the leading alternative to invasive surgery.

If your medical physician has recommended surgical spinal decompression, it may be performed using one of these common procedures: Microdiscectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure using a surgical instrument or laser while using an operating microscope for magnification; or a Laminectomy, an invasive surgical procedure in which a small portion of the arch of the vertebrae (bone) is removed from the spine to alleviate the pressure on the pinched nerve.

Consider Spinal Decompression Therapy, the safe, non-surgical alternative!

To find out if you are a candidate for treatment, you will want to seek the professional advice of a chiropractor who specializes in back pain, treating not just the symptoms, but the root cause. With the use of advanced computer technology, a mechanical traction device controls the force and angle of disc distraction, reducing the body’s natural tendency to resist an external force. This enhanced control allows non-surgical spinal decompression tables to apply a traction force to the discs of the spinal column to reduce the pressure between each disc.

Spinal decompression therapy is promoted as safe and effective without the normal risks associated with invasive procedures such as injections, anesthesia or surgery. Many patients have actually stated that they look forward to the treatment, as it is usually quite comfortable and well-tolerated, with the added benefit of relieving their pain.
