Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy offers a gentle, drug-free treatment option for patients suffering from conditions like herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic nerve pain. At Lakewood Injury Chiropractic, we provide this advanced therapy to help relieve pressure on the spine, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing without surgery or injections.
Dr. Brian Wilmovsky and our experienced team tailor each decompression treatment plan to your specific condition, ensuring comfort and effectiveness throughout your recovery journey.
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works?
The therapy involves a carefully controlled stretching of the spine using specialized equipment designed to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure encourages herniated or bulging disc material to retract, relieving pressure on compressed nerves and improving blood flow to the area. Over time, decompression therapy supports disc rehydration and healing, which can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility.
Unlike traditional traction, our decompression therapy is precise and adjustable, focusing on the areas that need relief while avoiding strain on healthy tissues.
Who Can Benefit from Decompression Therapy?
Patients experiencing symptoms such as sharp or shooting pain down the legs, numbness, tingling, or weakness due to nerve compression often find relief through spinal decompression. It is especially beneficial for those diagnosed with herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back pain that hasn’t responded well to other treatments.
Our therapy is non-invasive and safe for most adults, providing an alternative to surgery and long-term medication use.
