Spinal Decompression

Q: What is Spinal Decompression?

Chiropractic care is a personal treatment plan that’s designed to relieve pressure on your musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Through active and passive techniques, our chiropractor will manipulate targeted areas of your body in order to reduce the stress that is causing you pain. Spinal decompression is a kind of motorized traction designed to relieve pain. It has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, bulging and herniated discs, and even relapse or failed back surgery. The procedure takes place on a motorized table, but only the lower half moves when activated. To treat problems in your lower back, the harness is secured around your hips and the bottom end of the table. While the upper part of the table doesn't move, the lower part slides backward and forward to decompress the spine and slowly alleviate pressure.

Spinal decompression is a low-risk, all-natural, non-surgical procedure that can provide you with effective pain relief. Our Hudson doctor can administer this therapy to help release tension in your body, improve your nervous system function, and get you the long-lasting pain relief your body deserves.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy creates an optimal healing environment for nervous system issues, degenerating or ruptured spinal discs, and backaches. Spinal decompression is performed on a traction table, using the same basic principle to stretch the spine that chiropractors use in their treatments for spinal realignment. By slowly stretching your spinal column, spinal decompression therapy helps relieve pressure on the discs between the vertebrae. This pressure also facilitates an influx of nutrients and oxygen to the area.

Because this gentle technique supports and stimulates the body's natural healing methods, it's a viable alternative to surgical intervention for patients who are affected by disc trauma or damage. Our doctor will diagnose your condition and ensure that spinal decompression therapy is ideal for your symptoms and pain relief.

Spinal decompression therapy will extend your spine, allowing the restoration of the natural space between your vertebrae. You will feel relief in your back due to less tension on affected nerves that run through the spinal column. When your nervous system can communicate freely, your entire body will feel pain relief.
