Living with back or neck pain can make every day feel like an uphill battle. Simple activities like picking up your grandchild, walking the dog, or even just sitting at your desk can become painful challenges.
How Decompression Differs from Regular Adjustments
While traditional chiropractic adjustments focus on improving joint alignment (which is incredibly important!), decompression therapy addresses a different aspect of spinal health: disc compression.
Think about it like this: imagine a tire on your car that’s lost air pressure. What happens? The sidewalls bulge out where they contact the road. Similarly, when discs in your spine lose height or hydration, they can bulge or herniate, putting pressure on nearby nerves and causing pain.
Spinal decompression works like reinflating that tire. By gently stretching the spine, we create negative pressure within the disc. This action:
- Allows the disc to rehydrate with vital nutrients
- Helps retract bulging disc material
- Takes pressure off pinched nerves
- Promotes healing by improving circulation
The result? Relief without surgery!
Who Benefits Most from Decompression Therapy?
We’ve seen amazing results with patients suffering from:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Chronic low back pain
- Persistent neck pain
- Radiating arm or leg pain (sciatica)
Dr. Snider and Dr. Daniels carefully evaluate each patient to determine if decompression is the right approach. Generally, people with prior spinal surgery involving hardware implants aren’t suitable candidates—but don’t worry, we have other approaches that can help!
