Request an AppointmentWhat Is a Decompression Table?
A decompression table is specialized chiropractic equipment designed to reduce pressure and tension in the neck and spine. It gently pulls on the vertebrae, allowing spinal discs to re-align and relax. This can significantly reduce pain from headache symptoms as well as related neck pain and back pain.
How Decompression Helps With Headache Treatment
The decompression table works by creating a gentle vacuum effect that pulls each vertebra away from the next, creating space in the spine. This helps relieve pressure on the surrounding nerves and muscles, which can reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, nerve pain, and other symptoms tied to chronic headaches and migraines or tension headaches. It also helps relax tight muscles and improve circulation, both of which contribute to fewer and less severe headaches over time.
What to Expect During Your Decompression Consultation
At our Downey, CA clinic, your decompression consultation begins with a review of your medical history and a discussion of the type of headaches you’re experiencing. Our chiropractors will then perform an exam to assess spinal alignment and posture and determine whether decompression therapy is the right fit. If so, we’ll recommend a series of treatments based on your specific case.
During treatment, you’ll lie face-up or face-down on a specially designed table as it gently pulls on your spine. Our team will monitor your posture throughout and make adjustments as needed to keep you comfortable. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and spinal misalignment, you may need several sessions to find lasting relief.
