What is Decompression Therapy?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, non-chiropractic therapy to relieve conditions associated with spinal disc injuries. Bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, sciatica, neck pain, arm pain or leg pain can often be blamed on your spine asserting pressure on your discs. Poor posture, bad body mechanics, repetitive stress and acute injury can cause your vertebrae to compress your discs or to slip out of alignment thus applying pressure to your discs. The result is chronic pain / discomfort and hardening of discs which restricts the flow of nutrients necessary for healing.
How can Decompression Therapy Help You?
Spinal decompression therapy gently creates an optimal environment for healing–an environment in which both relief of intradiscal pressure and the flow of nutrients to the spinal discs occur. Decompression therapy provides gentle decompression of the disc through the use of a decompression table.
How does Spinal Decompression Work?
During a decompression therapy treatment session, a patient is secured to this decompression table so as it moves, it applies a traction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc) in between periods of relaxation. This force gently pulls the spine apart elongating it and creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae which pulls the disc back into shape.
Over time, decompression therapy encourages a bulging or herniated disc to reshape itself, heal, and receive the flow of nutrients needed to fight off brittleness and future injury.
