Introduction To Spinal Decompression Therapy

Life’s demands can take a toll on our bodies, especially on our spine. Long hours spent in front of the computer, prolonged sitting, improper posture, and even injury can lead to excruciating neck pain and low back pain – simple tasks in the past may now seem daunting.

Here at Neeld Family Chiropractic, we offer state-of-the-art technology Spinal Decompression Therapy which can help those seeking effective and non-invasive relief from spinal issues.

Understanding Spinal Decompression

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal Decompression is a specialized chiropractic technique designed to alleviate the pressure on spinal discs, promoting natural healing. This therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs, which helps retract bulging or herniated material and encourages nutrient-rich fluids to enter.

This controlled stretching stimulates healing and can provide pain relief from various spinal conditions.

Conditions that Benefit from Decompression Therapy:

How Does it Work?

Spinal Decompression Therapy offers a targeted approach to address the underlying causes of such pain, providing relief and improving mobility.  During a Spinal Decompression session, the patient lies comfortably on a specialized table.

For Spinal Decompression Therapy of the low back, a harness is fitted around the pelvis and another near the trunk. The table then applies a gentle, controlled traction force, which relieves pressure on the spine, discs, nerves and facet joints.

For Spinal Decompression Therapy of the neck, the neck will be placed on the traction device to gently reduce pressure on the discs of the neck, which can help alleviate radicular pain into the arms.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Pain Relief – One of the most significant advantages of Spinal Decompression Therapy is its potential to alleviate chronic pain. By reducing pressure on affected discs and nerves, patients often experience a significant reduction in pain, allowing them to regain their quality of life.

Non-Invasive Approach – Spinal Decompression Therapy is non-surgical and non-invasive option.  Unlike surgical interventions, it doesn’t involve any incisions; this means shorter recovery times, minimal risk of complications, and no need for general anesthesia.

Improved Spinal Health – Spinal Decompression Therapy aims to improve overall spinal health. By promoting the body’s natural healing processes, it addresses the root cause of the problem rather than merely masking the symptoms.

Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?

Spinal Decompression Therapy is suitable for individuals suffering from a range of spinal issues, including bulging discs, herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. However, proper evaluation by a qualified chiropractor is essential to determine candidacy.

Before commencing treatment, a thorough consultation and evaluation are conducted. The chiropractor reviews the patient’s medical history, performs physical examinations, and may request imaging tests to devise a personalized treatment plan.

The Spinal Decompression Experience

What to Expect During a Session? A typical Spinal Decompression session is a comfortable and relaxing experience. Patients are gently secured to the decompression table, and as the table’s advanced technology applies traction, they might feel a gentle stretch along the spine. Most patients find the treatment soothing and even nap during sessions.

Duration and Frequency of Treatment – The duration and frequency of Spinal Decompression Therapy depends on the severity of the condition. Generally, a full treatment course involves multiple sessions over several weeks, with each session lasting around 15-20 minutes.
