Spinal Decompression in Madison
Are you seeking a safe, non-surgical way to alleviate disc-related problems in the spine? If so, decompression therapy may be right for you. This therapy is particularly effective for patients with conditions such as degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. Unlike general traction, decompression therapy specifically targets these disc issues by creating negative pressure within the disc, promoting healing and pain relief.
How Does It Work?
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine using a state-of-the-art decompression table. This controlled, intermittent traction creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging bulging or herniated discs to retract and relieving pressure on pinched nerves.
By restoring space between the vertebrae, decompression therapy enhances nutrient flow into the discs, promoting healing and improving spinal health. As a result, it effectively addresses the root cause of disc-related pain, leading to significant relief and better nerve function.
What to Expect During a Session
Spinal decompression therapy is a relaxing and comfortable experience. During a session, you lie on a specialized decompression table while a harness gently stretches your lower back or neck, depending on the area being treated. The pull is light and controlled. If, at any time, you experience discomfort, we can make adjustments.
We also make sure that each treatment is fully customizable. During your initial visit, we conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine if spinal decompression is right for you. Based on your specific condition and comfort level, we carefully adjust the table settings to provide effective pain relief while ensuring a comfortable experience.
