Back pain is common for most Americans, causing an inability to enjoy daily life. Besides the physical pain, many people who experience back pain notice emotional side effects like depression, anxiety, or general low mood. At SoCal Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic, Downey, CA, we tailor a wellness program to help relieve spinal pain using the least invasive and highly effective decompression therapy.

Alleviate Pain and Tension

Decompression therapy helps improve pain and tension caused by spinal compression or pressure. We conduct multiple sessions of spinal decompression therapy to relieve you from chronic pain. These sessions will also improve your mobility.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Many patients opt for therapeutic injections when physical therapy and chiropractic care fail. Yet, these injections don’t offer permanent relief. As a result, some patients fear spinal surgery might be their only remaining option.

Spinal decompression therapy postpones or prevents spinal surgery, including discectomy or spinal fusion surgeries. Our patients are pleased by how effectively this nonsurgical treatment alleviates lower back pain. You can get relief after one session, but ongoing care is mandatory for optimal benefits.

Here at SoCal Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic, we gently stretch your spine, slipping your herniated discs back into their slots. Spinal surgery isn’t necessary if your body holds these changes.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Spinal decompression therapy assists the effects of degenerative disc disease. This progressive and everyday wear and tear condition occur as you age, degrading the normally supple, moist, and flexible spinal discs into a stiff, dry, and rigid state.

So, spinal decompression therapy helps decrease feelings of discomfort and stiffness, increase range of motion, improve spinal flexibility, and enhance fluidity.

Herniated or Bulging Discs

Spinal decompression therapy helps correct a herniated or bulging disc to its common space. Bulging or herniated discs are responsible for persistent neck pain or chronic lower back pain. In addition, a herniated disc leak can leak its soft interior gel onto nearby nerves, causing a burning sensation that radiates from the neck into your shoulder or the lower back into your legs or hips.

If you aren’t sure you have any of these conditions, we can take a complete physical exam, including digital imaging.

How Spinal Decompression Works

The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Table is a computer-controlled traction device that gently stretches the spine. This type of stretching relieves pressure on the discs and nerves by taking the weight off of your spine. The decompression table has been FDA-cleared and is a non-surgical, painless alternative to other forms of back pain treatment.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy can offer relief from a variety of conditions, including:

  • Herniated discs: A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of the disc ruptures and the inner gel-like substance leaks out. This can put pressure on the nerves, causing pain.
  • Degenerative disc disease: Degenerative disc disease is a condition that causes the discs in your spine to break down and shrink. This can lead to pain, as well as numbness and tingling in the arms or legs.
  • Sciatica: Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed. This can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
  • Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the space around the spinal cord narrows. This puts pressure on the nerves, causing pain.

During your initial consultation, our chiropractor will perform a thorough examination to determine if spinal decompression therapy is the right treatment for your condition. If we believe that you can benefit from this type of therapy, we will create a custom treatment plan for you.

What to Expect During Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a series of sessions that last about 30 minutes each. During each session, you will lie on the decompression table as it gently stretches your spine. You may feel a sense of relief during or after your treatment. Most patients require 20-30 sessions to see the full benefits of this type of therapy.
