Spinal Decompression

WHAT IS NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION?

Your occupation, age, past injuries, and even your favorite hobbies can often lead to back and neck pain. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a state-of-the-art treatment to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and restore spinal motion all while treating the underlying cause.

When discs are injured, they will bulge beyond their limits. The excessive pressure on the disc can cause it to bulge or herniate and irritate the spinal nerves resulting in pain, weakness, tingling, and numbness in the arms or legs.

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is designed to relieve the pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves in the neck and low back. This, in turn, helps promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, stimulating the formation of collagen which helps the disc to heal. As your treatment progresses and healing begins, the motion within the joints of your spine and the flexibility of the muscles that support your neck and back are restored.

When we are young the discs can absorb these nutrients easily, however as we age the only way these nutrients enter the disc is from the joints above or below. Failure of the joints to move can result in immobilization degeneration starving the discs of the nutrients they need to heal and be healthy.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DOES IT TAKE?

At Mind Body Spine Chiropractic, the doctor will customize a treatment plan that is made specifically for you. The number of treatments greatly depends on the severity of the problem. Many patients see relief in the first few treatments, however, the average successful treatment plan requires 20 to 24 sessions over a seven-to-nine-week time period. Each treatment is approximately 20 minutes. Spinal Decompression is gentle and relaxing, many of our patients even fall asleep during the treatment.
