Decompression Therapy

Decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment for disc problems. Here’s how it works: when you have a herniated or bulging disc, it can press on nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling. Traditional treatments might help with the symptoms, but they don’t always address the disc itself.

Decompression therapy gently stretches your spine to create space between the vertebrae. This creates negative pressure within the disc, which can help retract herniated or bulging disc material away from the nerve. Think of it like pulling apart two pieces of bread that are stuck together—the gentle stretch creates space. During treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on a specialized table that does the work for you. It’s relaxing, and it can help reduce pain from herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and other conditions that cause nerve compression.

The benefits of decompression therapy are significant for disc-related conditions. By creating negative pressure within the disc, it can help retract herniated or bulging disc material, which relieves pressure on nerves and reduces pain. It also helps improve circulation to the disc, which supports healing. Many people find that decompression therapy provides relief from disc-related pain without the need for surgery.
