Would I benefit from Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a breakthrough for people suffering from chronic back pain, or acute disc injuries. It helps reduce disc compression and relieve symptoms related to pinched or compressed nerves. Some of the signs you may benefit from spinal decompression include:
- Sciatica
- Pain radiating from the neck into the shoulders, arms, or hands
- Pain radiating from the lower back into the hip, groin, legs, or feet
- Numbness, tingling, or "pins and needles" sensations in your arms or legs
- Chronic pain related to disc degeneration, or an old disc injury

What is Spinal Decompression?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive treatment for patients who suffer from neck and back problems.
A decompression treatment slowly and gently lengthens or releases pressure in the spine through repetitive movements by a customized medical device.
The table gently pulls and releases, creating a pressure change within the intervertebral disc, surrounding soft tissue, and joints. This pressure change allows the disc bulges or herniations and nutrients to be pulled back into the disc. Rehydration of the disc and surrounding tissues creates a physiological change which assists the body’s natural healing process.

How do I get started?
If you think you would benefit from Spinal Decompression, the first step is to call or schedule an examination online. Disc degeneration and compression can be seen on x-ray, so after a thorough examination, our doctor will let you know if you are a good candidate for care.
Decompression therapy is best combined with adjustments and home exercises. Your doctor will recommend a treatment program customized to your needs, and based on the severity of your condition.

How long will my results last?
Each patient is unique and results vary. However, research suggests* that continued improvement is seen up to four years following the decompression treatment program. Your doctor will give you recommendations to help you maintain your improvement and get the most out of your care!
