How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapy designed to alleviate back and neck pain. It helps reduce pressure on the spine to provide relief and improve function. Before scheduling your appointment at Spine Pain Center in Summerville, SC, take the time to learn how this treatment works.

The Spinal Decompression Process

During your appointment, you will be positioned on a decompression table. This table uses computer-controlled technology to apply a controlled pulling force to the spine. The gentle stretch helps target the affected areas, creating negative pressure that allows the discs to reposition. As a result, nerve pressure decreases and helps alleviate pain.

How It Promotes Healing

One of the main benefits of spinal decompression is its ability to promote nutrient and oxygen flow to the discs. Discs in the spine lack their own blood supply, so they rely on movement to receive the nutrients needed for repair. The spinal decompression machine creates space between the vertebrae, improving nutrient flow and supporting the healing process.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including:

• Herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica
• Spinal stenosis
• Chronic back pain
• Neck pain

Is This Therapy Right for You?

Spinal decompression is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic back and neck pain, especially when other treatments have not provided relief. If you have herniated discs, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, you may be a good candidate for spinal or cervical decompression. It is important to consult with our chiropractors to determine if this therapy is suitable for your specific condition.
