What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy is designed to reduce pressure on the spine. It works by gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on discs, nerves, and other structures. This process helps promote healing and lower pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

Is Spinal Decompression Painful?

Spinal decompression is a gentle and non-invasive procedure. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the treatment, and it is considered a safe option for those seeking relief from back pain. Some individuals may experience mild soreness afterward, similar to a workout, but this is temporary and should subside quickly.

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic back pain, sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and similar spinal conditions. It is particularly effective for those who have not found relief with traditional approaches such as medication or physical therapy.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

The number of sessions required varies from person to person. Typically, a series of 15 to 30 sessions is recommended over a period of several weeks. Our back doctor will create a customized plan tailored to your specific needs.

Is Spinal Decompression Safe?

Yes, the DRX 9000 spinal decompression technique is considered safe for most patients. It is a non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, such as severe osteoporosis or advanced spinal conditions. A thorough evaluation will be performed before beginning treatment to ensure it is the right option for you.
