How Does It Work?
Although decompression treatments may seem intimidating, there is nothing to worry about as our team of professionals keep patient safety the number one priority. Spinal decompression involves lying on the therapy table, where the lower back or neck is gently stretched. Gradual stretching alleviates pressure from vertebrae and nerves, letting compressed discs naturally realign. Through successive treatments, vertebrae, discs, and muscles relax, offering substantial pain relief!
Herniated and Bulging Discs
The spine comprises numerous discs, and when these jelly-like cushions slip or rupture, the ensuing pain can disrupt daily life. Decompression therapy effectively aids the natural healing of herniated or bulging discs. The gradual stretch of the traction therapy table provides the proper spacing between the vertebrae allowing for the discs to slip back into their natural place. Throughout multiple treatments, the discs reestablish their proper position to cushion the vertebrae.
Compression of the Spine
With many individuals working in office environments, and modern lifestyles involving long periods of sitting and slouching, the spine can be negatively affected. Abnormal muscle tension leads to spine compression, causing intense pain. Aging further decreases spacing between vertebrae, contributing to chronic pain due to nerve pressure.
Our decompression effectively stretches the neck and lower back to properly reestablish the spacing required to feel relief, as it also relaxes the tight muscles that often contribute to spinal compression.
Sciatica
Sciatic nerve issues, causing pain in the lower back, thighs, and calves, often result from immense pressure. Sciatica presents as shooting pain, tightness, aching around the glutes and quadriceps, lower back spasms, or numbness and tingling in the feet. Decompression traction therapy is an effective relief solution for these issues.
