Spinal Decompression Treatment: Non-Surgical Treatment for Spinal Discs, Sciatica, and More

What is Spinal Decompression Treatment?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive treatment for patients who suffer from neck and back problems. A decompression treatment slowly and gently lengthens or releases pressure in the spine through repetitive movements by a customized treatment table. The table pulls and releases, creating a pressure change within the intervertebral disc, surrounding soft tissue, and joints.

Rehydration of the disc and surrounding structures creates a physiological change that assists the body’s natural healing process. Patients typically experience significant improvement within 20-25 treatments. Research suggests that continued improvement is seen up to four years following the decompression treatment program. This pressure change allows the disc bulges or herniations and nutrients to be pulled back into the disc.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal Decompression Therapy treats Neck and Back Pain related to Degenerative Disc Disease, Disc Herniations or Bulges, as well as Sciatic Pain. If you have been diagnosed with sciatica, a bulging disc, or chronic back or neck pain, spinal decompression therapy can help. This revolutionary therapy is different from traditional medical treatments that rely on medication to “cover-up” pain. Decompression therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive alternative to back surgery and prescription painkillers.

• Through the logarithmic stretch and release protocols of the decompression procedure, negative pressure is created in the disc over time. This vacuum effect draws any herniated disc material back into the disc.
• By reversing the effects of axial load or compression in the spine, increased circulation occurs which aids in the healing process.

When a herniated or bulging disc slips out of alignment, it may compress nearby nerves. This compression can block the nerves from properly sending and receiving messages from the central nervous system and brain, leading to chronic pain. As long as this compression continues, patients will suffer pain. Spinal decompression therapy creates space between the different vertebrae, providing room for the herniated or bulging disc to return to its proper space in the spine. This relieves pressure on the nerves.

Non-Surgical Back Pain Treatment in Havertown, PA

At Rehab 2 Wellness in Havertown, PA, we are committed to helping each patient live an active, pain-free life. If you suffer from back or neck pain, then spinal decompression therapy is the first step back to wellness. Rather than masking your pain, this treatment works by addressing the underlying causes.

During a spinal decompression therapy treatment, the patient is securely strapped onto a table lying down. A computerized program controls the table, moving it at precise intervals to gently create space in the spine. Many patients experience significant relief after only one treatment. A series of 20-24 treatments over several weeks typically produces the best long-term results. Every patient is different, however, so we will tailor the treatment to your individual needs. You may benefit from additional sessions or only need a few to start feeling healthy again.
