Spinal Decompression
Maybe you’ve tried surgery, injections or acupuncture for your back pain or herniated disc. Or perhaps you’re hoping to avoid surgery and are looking for a non-invasive treatment to address your cervical and low back pain. At AdKore Rehabilitation Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, we are now offering spinal decompression with the state-of-the-art Hill DT table.
What Is It?
Spinal decompression is a cutting-edge computer-assisted technology that helps treat low back and neck pain that are due to herniated, bulging, degenerated and slipped discs. This FDA-cleared therapy involves gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure from the vertebrae.
How It Works
At the beginning of each session, you will be comfortably fitted with a harness intended to achieve optimal decompression of the low back or neck. During your session, your spine will gradually be lengthened as your discs are slowly decompressed and relieved of pressure.
The pull of the table produces sufficient force, which is called the vacuum effect. This effect rehydrates the disc by allowing water and nutrients to be drawn back into the disc. As the rehydration and disc healing occurs, there’s a reduction in the pressure on the nerve and nerve healing takes place.
Conditions Spinal Decompression Can Address
Here are some of the most common issues for which patients seek this therapy:
- Chronic inflammation
- Herniated discs
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Paget’s disease
- Sciatica
- Stenosis
Surgery Doesn’t Have to Be Your Only Option
Many people with back pain and disc conditions have been told by their doctor that surgery is their only option. With spinal decompression, you may be able to avoid this invasive and risky procedure.
Part of Your Customized Care Plan
Your chiropractor may include spinal decompression treatment as part of your individualized care plan that’s tailored to meet your unique needs. Your plan may include several decompression sessions along with chiropractic adjustments.
