How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

This painless procedure works by gently stretching and decompressing the spine, which helps to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves, discs and joints. With the use of advanced technology and techniques, Tangelo Chiropractic + Rehab utilizes spinal decompression therapy as a safe and reliable method for managing pain without the need for invasive surgery or medication. This treatment can facilitate the healing process by promoting increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected area, reducing inflammation, and relieving discomfort. This non-surgical and painless method is highly effective in treating a range of spinal conditions, including herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, and chronic neck and back pain. If you’re suffering from any of these spinal conditions, consider spinal decompression therapy as part of your comprehensive treatment plan.

Spinal decompression therapy involves the use of precise motorized traction, delivered by a specialized table, to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on spinal structures. The therapy works by creating negative pressure within the discs, which helps to promote the flow of oxygen and nutrients into the affected areas. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, easing pressure on spinal nerves. The movement of oxygen and nutrients into the discs fosters their healing, offering a straightforward yet effective approach to spinal care.

Patients undergoing spinal decompression can expect to experience improved mobility, relief from pain, and improved quality of life.

Why Do People Choose Spinal Decompression?

Patients opt for Spinal Decompression Therapy for its non-invasive approach and its effectiveness in treating persistent pain without the need for drugs or surgery. Expected outcomes include significant pain relief, increased mobility, and a return to normal daily activities.

How Is Spinal Decompression Performed?

During a session, the patient lies on a spinal decompression table while the device gently stretches the spine. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and a typical treatment plan may include multiple sessions over several weeks, tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
