Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapeutic technique designed to alleviate back pain by relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. The process involves the use of our specialized table that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the intervertebral discs. This negative pressure, also known as “negative intra-discal pressure,” can have several beneficial effects on the spine and surrounding structures. Here’s a breakdown of how spinal decompression works:

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapeutic technique designed to alleviate back pain by relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. The process involves the use of our specialized table that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the intervertebral discs. This negative pressure, also known as “negative intra-discal pressure,” can have several beneficial effects on the spine and surrounding structures. Here’s a breakdown of how spinal decompression works:

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

The negative pressure created during decompression facilitates the influx of nutrient-rich fluids into the discs. This helps improve hydration, nutrition, and the overall health of the discs, which is crucial for their function and resilience.

Reducing Nerve Impingement

When discs become compressed, they can exert pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness. Spinal decompression helps alleviate this pressure, reducing nerve impingement and associated symptoms.

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.

★★★★★
Excellent care, from the person at the front desk (very pleasant to all who were checking in, including myself), to my masseuse (Kathleen?) who had already read my intake form and asked clarifying questions as it was my first visit. She covered all area I had mentioned. I went here because it was on my insurance company’s list of cover d providers, and I’m glad I did.

I had my first massage with Heather and it was one of the best massages I’ve had! She worked through the knots on my neck and shoulders. The bed was heated and it went low enough for me to get on East (I’m 5’ tall). I also see Kathleen regularly and I love her! She uses lavender which I love. Sometime I feel chatty and we have the same vibe. Highly recommend them!

Most in depth chiropractic experience I've ever had. The focus isn't just on getting the cracks, but more of a holistic approach. We did some lazer therapy and after each session they would have me lay on a "bed" of ice or heat while a machine rolled my back out. It was great. The whole office staff is very nice and they ladies at the front always remembered my name when I walked it. 10/10 experience.

I had just gotten off the plane from the East Coast. I was in so much pain with Siatica. I called this office and they got me right in. Dr. Peter worked on me and was very thorough. I was able to enjoy my week with my son with little to no pain. I would highly recommend In Touch Chiropractic to everyone! The office is super friendly and better than anyone I have seen on the East Coast. Definitely the place to go if you’re in pain like I was!
