The solution to chronic lower back pain?
Millions of people suffer from lower back pain on a daily basis. Many have tried various treatments and at times with no results. The root cause could be the disc of the spine and the treatment might be spinal decompression theory.
Your spinal discs don’t have a direct blood supply. They receive nutrients from motion/ activity to stay healthy and hydrated. Through dehydration and wear/ tear, discs can:
- Bulge / herniate
- Compress on spinal nerves
- Cause localized or radiating pain
- Limit spinal motion
That’s where Spinal Decompression Therapy comes in.
How Does Disc Pressure Cause Pain?
Your spine is like a stack of blocks with soft cushions in between—those cushions are your discs. When the spine becomes compressed from poor posture, injured or disc degenerated from lack of motion, the discs can bulge or flatten, leading to:
- Nerve compression
- Muscle guarding/ spasms
- Chronic inflammation
- Shooting pain into the arms or legs
- Abnormal posture
- Sciatica
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on the nerves and giving the discs room to heal.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, mechanical treatment that carefully elongates the spine to:
- Reduce pressure on spinal discs and spinal nerves
- Create negative pressure to “pull” bulging discs back in
- Promote the flow of healing nutrients and oxygen
What Conditions Can It Help?
Spinal decompression is especially effective for:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (pain down the leg)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
At The Spine and Health Center (SHC), we evaluate each patient individually to ensure decompression is the right fit for your condition.
Is It Safe and Comfortable?
Yes! Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing. The sessions are:
- Painless
- Gentle
- Customizable to your body and pain level
Our providers monitor you throughout to ensure your safety and comfort.
You Don’t Have to Live with Disc Pain
Patients can experience relief in immediately after spinal decompression. Patients with active sciatica can find instant relief at times while on spinal decompression.
