The way this treatment works is to gently stretch the spinal segments while reducing the discs back into their normal position under the vertebrae thereby taking the pressure off of the nerves. The most important part is that it releases pressure from the nerves to allow relief and treatment for the pain. Spinal disc decompression is a great alternative to surgery and allows multiple ways to manipulate the discs in order to help the patients specific needs. It is a very comfortable treatment and can be beneficial in restoring the bodies own healing system. Our goal with spinal disc decompression therapy is to return you back to life you are missing while restoring your injury back to health. This is a great solution to neck and back pain, especially if you have other solutions, like chiropractic care, and they have not quite got the job done. Advanced imaging like x-rays or MRIs may be required to determine if you are a good candidate for spinal decompression. Spinal disc decompression is also very successful in the treatment of sciatica which is a compression on the sciatic nerve that can cause radiating pain down into the buttock or the back of your legs.
