Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression
Relieving Pressure on Discs
The spine is comprised of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers. Over time, these discs may experience compression, leading to conditions such as herniated discs or bulging discs. Spinal decompression creates a negative pressure that helps retract or reposition the bulging or herniated disc material, reducing pressure on the nerves and promoting healing.
Promoting Nutrient Exchange
Reducing Nerve Impingement
Creating Space for Healing
By gently stretching the spine, decompression creates space between the vertebrae. This allows for the expansion of compressed spinal structures and facilitates the influx of oxygen and nutrients, promoting the body’s natural healing processes.
Encouraging Disc Height Restoration
Over time, spinal compression can lead to a reduction in disc height. Spinal decompression aims to reverse this process by encouraging the restoration of disc height, which, in turn, can relieve pressure on nerves and improve overall spinal function.
Stimulating the Paraspinal Muscles
The stretching and relaxation cycles involved in spinal decompression not only target the discs but also stimulate the paraspinal muscles. This helps improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination, contributing to better spinal support.
Enhancing Circulation
The cyclical nature of spinal decompression promotes increased blood flow to the spinal discs and surrounding tissues. Improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the area, facilitating the healing process.
It’s important to note that the success of spinal decompression therapy may vary depending on individual factors and the specific condition being treated. Our doctor will assess your unique situation and develop a personalized treatment plan to optimize the benefits of spinal decompression for your back pain relief.
