What is Spinal Decompression? Non-Surgical Relief of Back & Neck Pain

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical technique that utilizes traction based therapy to alleviate the pressure on a herniated or bulging disc. During your treatment, the doctor cycles through the dis-traction and relaxation phases so that the spinal disc can be isolated. This aids in placing the disc under negative pressure which causes a vacuum effect.

The injured disc is pulled back into its normal space where healing can take place. The procedure also works to increase blood flow in the area which can speed up the healing process. Spinal decompression will even work for those who have had back surgery but still experience pain and discomfort associated with a herniated disc.  Patients often report that they receive relief from neck and leg pain as well.

Spinal decompression is also often used on patients who do not have a herniated or bulging disc, but do suffer with poor spinal muscle control. In many patients, the spine and discs are problem areas, so if Dr. Bob believes that spinal decompression can relieve some of the pressure that may be causing your pain, then he will offer you this treatment option along with several others.
