Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to treat people who are suffering from back and neck pain through non-surgical methods that help reduce pressure from the spinal cord and the surrounding nerves and muscles. This non-invasive method of treatment is a viable option for those who are looking to avoid surgery and have found no relief from other non-surgical treatments. Through research and scientific trials of analyzing this method of treatment, Spinal Decompression Therapy works together with the spine and muscles to effectively provide relief from back pain and spinal discomfort.

What’s the difference between Spinal Decompression Therapy and Traction Therapy? The biggest difference between the two is the “Vacuum Effect” that occurs from Spinal Decompression Therapy, which does not happen with Traction Therapy. In fact, traction therapy tugs on the body in a way that causes the muscles to respond and contract. This response will increase the amount of pressure to the vertebral disc that is affected and, ultimately, create more pain. The Vacuum Effect is so important because it is the negative pressure created through Spinal Decompression Therapy that allows nutrients and oxygen to repopulate the disc area and begin the healing process.

Through gradual degrees of calculated increases of distractive force and calculated angles to the specific vertebral disc, Spinal Decompression Therapy slowly creates space between the discs to pull in the necessary nutrients and oxygen. Basically, the decompression device will slowly pull the vertebral discs apart to create the vacuum effect and allow the disc to rehydrate with the aforementioned fluids, which leads to pain relief and healing.
