Spinal Decompression Therapy

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is proven effective at reducing chronic pain in the back, as well as associated discomfort and/or numbness in the neck, arms, and legs.

When the discs that separate and cushion the vertebrae of the spine slip out of place due to trauma or long-term misalignment issues, they place undue pressure on nerves that not only lead to chronic pain but interfere with nervous system function. 

Bulging and herniated discs are unlikely to heal while they remain compressed. 

Spinal decompression involves using a specialized therapy table outfitted with multiple physiological sensors and program options that combine gentle tension, passive stretching, and relaxation to relieve excess pressure on the nerves.  The therapy’s anti-gravity effect creates space between the vertebrae that allows damaged discs to be drawn back into position and oxygen, nutrients, and fluids to flow back into and nourish the discs.

Spinal decompression therapy is a highly individualized therapy that is a safe, non-invasive way to address chronic back and neck pain from disc-related conditions, as well as sciatica, scoliosis, stenosis, and arthritis, among others, without surgery.
