Providing Relief from Chronic Neck and Back Pain
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression involves the gentle and gradual stretching of the spine. It takes pressure off of individual discs using negative pressure and encourages the spine to reposition itself into a more desired shape. This allows bulging and herniated discs to return to normal function while drawing in fresh oxygen and nutrients to the surrounding tissues.

There is no reason for anybody to suffer from bulging disc pain.
Damaged or bulging discs can cause debilitating pain and reduced mobility making daily life more difficult. A fundamental part of our treatment approach for addressing back and neck pain is with a gentle and non-invasive therapy called spinal decompression.
In fact research has shown that using conservative care first can produce significant changes in most patients thus reducing the need for surgery down the road.
Often the source of back or neck pain can be caused by different factors to include:
Trauma or fractures from accidents
Overuse injuries
The breakdown of vertebrae from aging
Infections
Bone spurs
Obesity
Poor muscle tone
Muscle imbalances in the back or belly
Muscle tension
Arthritis
Joint Problems
Slipped or bulging discs
Osteoporosis and compression fractures
How Does Spinal Decompression Help?
In the immediate term, patients often feel temporary relief from bulging discs, pinched nerves, and sore muscles. This is especially true while decompression is taking place.
This therapy is a non-surgical treatment that aims to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. It can provide several benefits, including:
Pain relief: By taking pressure off the nerves, it can alleviate pain, numbness, and tingling.
Improved Mobility: Better spinal alignment reduces nerve compression and loosens the surrounding areas.
Increased Flexibility: The process gently stretches and lengthens the spinal ligaments, making them more flexible.
Reduced Inflammation: Fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients are drawn into the surrounding tissues.
Improved Disc Health: By creating a little negative space, discs are allowed to return to normal shape and improved height.
Non-Surgical Treatment: Spinal decompression is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for treating spinal conditions. This means it is generally safer and has a shorter recovery time.
Other Benefits: Some studies suggest that spinal decompression may also improve posture, reduce muscle spasms, and promote overall spinal health.
