SPINAL DECOMPRESSION FAQS

What type(s) of patients benefi t the most?

Patients that benefit most from true non-surgical spinal decompression may be those diagnosed with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease or facet syndrome.

How does it work?

Through cycles of stretch and relaxation, decompression unloads the disc – gel-like cushions which improves positioning, blood flow and important nutrient exchange for the injured area.

Why has it been shown to help disc issues?

Traction of the disc creates negative pressure – a vacuum – in the disc which allows the body to reabsorb much or all of the bulging or herniated disc material. 

How does the disc heal?

Decompression helps bulging or herniated discs to retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This promotes movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.

I don’t have a disc issue. I have a nerve issue.
