Spinal Decompression Therapy in West Ashley, Charleston, SC
Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatica, Chronic Back or Neck Pain...
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps alleviate back pain by reducing pressure on the spinal discs. The process involves a specialized traction table that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure. This pressure change allows bulging or herniated discs to retract, relieving pressure on the nerves and promoting the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients to the affected area. It’s an effective option for those looking to avoid surgery or heavy medications.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression Therapy
Our spinal decompression therapy is designed to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Herniated and Bulging Discs: By reducing disc pressure, this therapy helps relieve pain caused by displaced discs pressing on spinal nerves.
- Sciatica: If you experience shooting pain down your legs, our decompression therapy can alleviate the pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing discomfort.
- Chronic Back Pain: For those dealing with persistent pain, spinal decompression can offer long-term relief without the need for invasive procedures.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Decompression therapy helps increase the space between vertebrae, reducing wear and tear on spinal discs.
- Facet Syndrome: This therapy can help alleviate pain from inflamed facet joints, improving mobility and reducing stiffness.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
The treatment is simple, comfortable, and tailored to your needs:
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your symptoms and health history, perform a physical examination, and may take X-rays if needed. This helps us determine if spinal decompression is right for you.
- Customized Treatment Plan: If you’re a good candidate, we’ll design a treatment plan specifically for you, focusing on relieving your pain and promoting healing.
- The Therapy Session: You’ll lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table. The table gently stretches your spine in a controlled manner, creating space between the vertebrae and reducing disc pressure.
- Recovery and Healing: Most sessions last 20-30 minutes, and many patients begin to notice relief after just a few treatments. We’ll monitor your progress and adjust the plan as needed to ensure optimal results.
