How Does It Work?
Spinal decompression is a traction-based therapy. After an in-depth assessment by your chiropractor, a specialized table will be programmed to your exact needs. The computerized table will gently stretch your spine and then relax it repeatedly throughout your session.
When your spine is stretched in this way, it may help reduce pressure in the spinal joints and increase the flow of blood and nutrients to the disc and joints. Creating space helps alleviate pain, and increased circulation helps speed healing.
Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Care
Spinal decompression therapy can be done in conjunction with chiropractic care or as a stand-alone therapy. In some cases, the supporting structures are inflamed and can benefit from other therapies, such as chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy or massage.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Typically, we recommend a series of sessions over several weeks, but every patient is different. You will be given specific recommendations for your unique case. Once correction has been made, we encourage patients to maintain an active lifestyle. Many patients choose to come in for regular maintenance decompression.
