Spinal Decompression Therapy: Is It Right for You?

During spinal decompression therapy, the spine is stretched and manipulated as pressure is released. This non-surgical procedure is a popular treatment among chiropractic patients, especially those suffering from back pain. If you live in or around Rancho Cucamonga and are considering spinal decompression therapy as part of your healthcare routine, contact our team at RCMC Chiropractic Center.

What is Spinal Decompression?

This form of therapy involves a traction table or motorized device that stretches the spine and nerve roots. The spinal traction stimulates the nerves, increases blood flow, and releases tension throughout the spinal column.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is often used to treat spinal disc issues, particularly herniated discs, urgings, and degenerative disc disease. A spinal disc that moves out of its proper position can create pressure, resulting in back pain, stiffness, and tenderness in the affected area. During spinal decompression therapy, our chiropractor focuses on applying the traction tool in a way that manipulates the disc. This therapy has been used to treat broken vertebrae, arthritis, osteoporosis, and more.

What to Expect From a Therapy Session

The patient is given a comprehensive exam at which time spinal decompression therapy might be determined to be the best course of action. The patient is placed on a traction table and attached to the table. Our chiropractor will guide you through the session safely and efficiently. The table slowly and gently moves while being controlled by a computer and the chiropractor.
