Some frequently asked questions:What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal Decompression is an
FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment for low back pain that is
safe, effective, and has helped thousands of people like you return
to normal active lifestyles. This breakthrough treatment is
non-invasive, comfortable and often so effective that many patients
who have been in pain for years feel better in just a few
treatments.

How does it work?
Spinal Decompression treatments
painlessly decompress the disc(s) in your lower back, relieving
pressure on the affected nerves and structure of the spine. Each
treatment session lasts just about 30 minutes. The course of
therapy typically involves about 20 treatment sessions, with most
patients experiencing relief within 6 sessions.

Why does it work?
Spinal Decompression relieves the
pressure that builds up on your discs and nerves. Pain is relieved
by moving areas of the herniated disc back into place by creating
negative pressure, which in turn draws disc material back into the
disc space and relieves the pressure.
In bulging discs, the outer ligament
bands that hold the disc material in place become weak and
stretched. Decompression allows these bands to strengthen.
