Spinal Decompression/Traction
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical and cost effective method for treating disc problems in the neck and back. Patients who suffer with neck and back pain often experience weakness, tingling, numbness, pain and even decreased function in the arms or legs.
How it Works
Spinal traction stretches the spine in order to take pressure off of compressed disc. This straightens the spine and helps the body's ability to heal itself. Individuals with spinal conditions will benefit from this method of therapy because the traction reverses the force of gravity on the spine.
Common Conditions it Helps
- Herniated Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Sciatica
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Facet Syndrome
Techniques We Use
Manual Spinal Traction
During manual spinal traction, a licensed specialist will use their hands to put the you in a state of traction. They will then use manual force on the muscles and joints to widen the space between the vertebrae.
Mechanical Spinal Traction
During mechanical spinal traction, you will lie down on a table that is equipped with special tools to stretch the spine. A licensed specialist will then attach a series of pulleys, slings and ropes to your body to mechanically relieve pressure on the spine.
