Spinal decompression is FDA cleared and has a high success rate for pain associated with herniated or bulging discs…even after failed surgery. It is a non-surgical, traction-based therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain.
During spinal decompression, a negative pressure is created within the disc. Because of that negative pressure, disc material that has protruded or herniated can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc.
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be helped by spinal decompression. These conditions include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, brachial neuralgia, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).
In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, some patients fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.
At Central Health Care, spinal decompression treatments are often combined with specific exercises to restore stability to the core. The specific treatment plan will be determined by your practitioner after your examination.
