Spinal Decompression Therapy
WHAT IS SPINAL DECOMPRESSION?
If you are not familiar with spinal decompression, it is important to gain a clear understanding of what the procedure is and is not so that you can make an informed decision.
First, it’s important to note that non surgical spinal decompression is not an invasive procedure. Many patients are excited about this therapy option because:
​
-
non-invasive and does not require a recovery period afterward.
-
not involve any medications.
-
no potentially dangerous side effects.
-
not a painful procedure.
-
natural pain relief.
-
long-term benefits, even after their therapy is complete.
How long does Spinal Decompression take?
​
The length of treatment also varies based on the patient. Our goal is for your treatment plan to be long enough to provide long-term relief, but we won’t add unnecessary sections once you have received the maximum benefit. For most patients, the treatment regimen encompasses up to 20 sessions over a time period of four to six weeks.
Who can be benefit from Spinal Decompression?
It can benefit a wide variety of patients. The therapy is used to treat back pain, which is often caused by bulging disks, herniated disks, pinched nerves, or sciatica. Patients can also benefit from this type of therapy if they are suffering from spinal stenosis, degenerative disks, or pain after surgery.
However, that does not mean that decompression is the right option for every patient. If you have any of the following conditions, this therapy is most likely not a good fit for you:
​
-
Pregnancy
-
Spinal segment fracture
-
Failed back surgery
-
Spinal fusion
-
Spinal implants
