Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle and non-invasive addition to Chiropractic care, designed to restore health in the spinal discs. It is used to:

• re-hydrate degenerative discs in the neck and low back
• create space for herniated or bulging discs to re-absorb
• reduce spinal pressure that causes issues like arthritis, numb/tingling hands or feet, sciatica, and headaches
• offset the effects of gravity on the spine

FAQ’s

What type(s) of patients benefit the most?

• Patients that benefit most from non-surgical spinal decompression may be those diagnosed with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease, or facet syndrome.

How does it work?

• Through cycles of stretch and relaxation, decompression unloads the disc – gel-like cushions which improves positioning, blood flow and important nutrient exchange for the injured area.

How does it help spinal discs?

• Traction of the disc creates negative pressure – a vacuum – in the disc which allows the body to reabsorb much or all of the bulging or herniated disc material.

How does the disc heal?

• Decompression helps bulging or herniated discs to re-tract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This promotes movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.

But I have a nerve issue, can this help?

• A “nerve issue” is often a disc issue. Various disc issues – bulging, herniation, inflammation, degeneration ~ cause nerve encroachment & irritation, resulting in symptoms of “nerve issues”.

Will I need a referral from a medical doctor?

• No
