Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a treatment that ultimately helps to alleviate pain associated with the discs in the spine. Over time, due to age, lifestyle or injury, discs can bulge, become herniated or degenerate. Once this process begins, pain, limited range of motion and discomfort may occur in the spine as well as the arms and legs. Spinal decompression involves stretching the spine, using a traction table or similar motorized device, with the goal of relieving this pain. It is nonsurgical, as surgical spinal decompression is usually classified as a laminectomy and microdiscectomy.
Why You Should Receive Spinal Decompression Treatment
Regardless if you have an injury or not, this stretching of the spine can improve posture, flexibility and daily living. Creating a lower pressure in the discs will cause an influx of healing nutrients and other substances to the disc that are important for improving functions of the body. This spinal treatment allows the body to stretch in a different way that you would be unable to do at home.

After Spinal Decompression, patients will feel elongated and relaxed. Other therapies may be combined with spinal decompression, such as diet recommendations and exercises depending on the patient. This low-risk treatment is essential for anyone with neck and back issues.
