Chiropractic spinal decompression involves stretching the spine using motorized traction to help relieve back pain. This stretching changes the position and force of the spine, which takes the pressure off your spinal discs. These discs are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine.

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive mechanical procedure performed within our office to help alleviate back pain. It involves gently stretching the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs (the cushions that separate the vertebrae in the spine). By relieving this pressure, bulging discs can retract back into place which takes pressure off the nerves in the spine. By decompressing the spine, it permits water, oxygen and other fluids to work their way back into the discs allowing them to heal naturally. Spinal decompression is an excellent option for anyone with chronic back pain who wants to get back to living a pain-free life as quickly as possible.

Spinal decompression is safe for most patients. It is a great alternative for drugs and surgery. During your consultation, we will do a complete examination to rule out any conditions that might cause a problem. Some contraindications are patients with advanced osteoporosis, pregnancy, obesity and extensive nerve damage. This will be discussed in further detail during your first visit.

Conditions That May Be Evaluated for Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression may be considered as part of a treatment plan for certain patients experiencing back pain or symptoms associated with herniated or bulging discs. Disc injuries can occur gradually or following trauma, including some car accident injuries. Because the cause and severity of pain can vary, treatment recommendations should be based on an individual examination and diagnosis.
