Spinal Therapy/Decompression

Spinal conditions can range from hardly noticeable to downright crippling for those with an unhealthy spine. The key to improving the patient’s condition and the symptoms the patient suffers from is to locate with pinpoint accuracy exactly where the patient’s spine is less than optimally healthy. Using state-of-the-art digital X-Rays, we can find the precise location of the disease in the patient’s spine and, from there, build a comprehensive rehabilitation program to address the specific areas needing recovery. Programs can include advanced therapeutic techniques/equipment and spinal adjustments.

Spinal decompression uses a highly specialized therapeutic device. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes the pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
