You may ask how is spinal decompression done? What is involved? Spinal decompression is exactly what it sounds like decompressing the spine and discs. After a thorough orthopedic and neurological evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy. We use a special set of tools and equipment to apply a decompressive force for the spine and discs. The patient lays face down on a decompression table and a gentle axial force is applied parallel to the spine. This force "stretches" the specific area allowing pressure to be removed off the nerve root or pinched nerve. Spinal decompression reduces disc pain and symptoms with out the need for expensive and dangerous Drugs or surgery.
Spinal Decompression in conjunction with a specific rehabilitation regiment has been proven to be as effective or more effective than most drugs or surgeries on the market today. Because we are healing the disc naturally and effectively targeting the reasons the disc was damaged in the first place the sustained long term effects are much greater than covering up disc pain with a drug or removing integral parts of the spine.
