What is disc decompression therapy?

A non-invasive treatment for back related pains

First of all, it is a non-surgical traction kind of procedure which effectively stretches out the vertebrae in your back and neck. It is intended to treat pain you feel in your lower back, and which might radiate down into your legs or into your arms. This type of therapy is effective because it gently stretches out the spine and relieves any pressure the vertebrae might be exerting on nervous tissue in the region.

It has been used very successfully in the past to treat a number of cases related to degenerative spinal discs, facet joint syndrome, and spinal disc herniation. Once you have undergone one or more sessions of disc decompression therapy, you should feel tremendous relief from pain as well as increased flexibility. Your soft tissue will be stretched and relaxed, your muscles will be much less stiff, and your joints will enjoy increased mobility. Here are some of the situations which commonly call for disc decompression therapy, and which are effectively managed by it:

  • nerve root impingement
  • cervical radiculopathy
  • back stiffness and pain
  • neck stiffness and pain
  • sub-acute or chronic pain in the joints
  • problems with herniated discs
  • problems with degenerative discs
  • sciatica
  • jaw pain (TMJ)
  • sciatica.

Questions ? You're Covered

What is disc decompression therapy?

Disc decompression therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This allows herniated or bulging discs to retract, promoting healing and reducing pain in the neck, back, and limbs.

This therapy is commonly used to treat:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica

  • Cervical radiculopathy

  • Nerve root impingement

  • Chronic back and neck pain

  • Spinal joint stiffness

  • TMJ-related jaw pain

Yes. When administered by trained professionals like our team at Align Wellness Center, it is a very safe, gentle, and relaxing procedure with minimal risk and no downtime.

The therapy gently separates the vertebrae using controlled traction, which:

  • Creates negative pressure to draw bulging discs back into place

  • Increases circulation to the spine

  • Allows oxygen and nutrients to flow into damaged discs

  • Relieves pressure on nerves that cause radiating pain

Absolutely. It often works best in conjunction with:

  • Chiropractic adjustments

  • Cold laser therapy

  • Corrective exercises

  • Massage or posture therapy
    We’ll design a comprehensive treatment plan just for you.
