Spinal Decompression
Back pain due to a herniated or bulging disc can be debilitating, and in the past, surgery was the answer. Today, we have highly-successful advanced technology that allows us to relieve this pain without surgery. We use a system that combines a machine with an exceptionally precise computer program for spinal decompression treatment.
Using this computer technology and the decompression machine, we can create a custom treatment plan that decompresses the spine and pulls the herniated or bulging material back into the disc. One of our highly trained staff created and supervised the computer program. It gently stretches and relaxes the spine in rotation, separating the vertebrae over time. This creates a vacuum-like effect that pulls the soft bulging disc material back into the disc. This can clear back pain and any pain caused by the pressure put on the nerves. For example, patients who have a herniated disc in the lower back may have shooting sciatic pain down their legs. Relieving the herniated disc will cause that pain to vanish.
Treatment time and frequency will depend on each patient’s unique condition; however, each spinal decompression treatment lasts about twenty minutes. Patients usually have treatment a few times a week and are typically finished with treatment within eight weeks.
If you are living in pain from a herniated or bulging disc, we will work with you to find a spinal decompression treatment plan that corresponds with your body. Instead of turning to dangerous pain medications that cover up the problem, ask us if spinal decompression can help you.
