Spinal Decompression Traction Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate back pain and related symptoms by gently stretching the spine. This therapeutic approach aims to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves, promoting the body's natural healing processes and restoring proper alignment.

During a spinal decompression session, the patient typically lies comfortably on a specialized table. The table is equipped with harnesses or straps that are strategically placed around the body to target specific areas of the spine. Controlled traction forces are then applied, either manually by a trained therapist or through automated systems, to gently stretch the spine.

As the spine is stretched, negative pressure is created within the spinal discs. This negative pressure can help to retract herniated or bulging discs, relieving pressure on nerves and reducing inflammation. Additionally, spinal decompression therapy may promote the movement of water, oxygen, and other nutrients into the discs, facilitating the healing process and promoting overall spinal health.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spinal decompression therapy is a versatile treatment option that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Treatment parameters, such as traction force, duration, and frequency, can be adjusted based on factors such as the patient's condition, symptoms, and response to treatment.

​

This therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet joint syndrome, and spinal stenosis. While individual results may vary, many patients experience significant relief from pain and improved mobility following a course of spinal decompression therapy.

​

It's important to note that spinal decompression therapy should be performed by qualified healthcare professionals who have been trained in the appropriate techniques and safety protocols. Patients considering spinal decompression therapy should consult with their healthcare provider to determine if it's a suitable option for their condition and overall health.

Spinal decompression therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions related to the spine and associated symptoms. Some of the conditions that may benefit from spinal decompression therapy include:

01

Herniated Discs:

When the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer, it can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness. Spinal decompression therapy can help relieve pressure on the affected disc, allowing it to retract and reducing symptoms.

03

Sciatica:

Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause radiating pain, numbness, or tingling sensations that travel from the lower back down the leg. Spinal decompression therapy may help alleviate pressure on the nerve roots in the lower spine, reducing symptoms associated with sciatica.

05

Spinal Stenosis:

This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramina, leading to compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. Spinal decompression therapy can help create space within the spinal canal, reducing pressure on the nerves and alleviating symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness

02

Degenerative Disc Disease:

This condition involves the gradual breakdown of spinal discs over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Spinal decompression therapy can help alleviate pressure on degenerated discs, potentially reducing pain and improving function.

04

Facet Joint Syndrome:

Facet joints are small joints located between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. When these joints become inflamed or irritated, they can cause localized pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Spinal decompression therapy may help reduce pressure on the facet joints, providing relief from symptoms.

06

Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain, a common and often debilitating condition, is characterized by persistent discomfort or soreness in the lower region of the spine that lasts for more than 12 weeks.
