Spinal decompressions can reduce and often eliminate chronic pain associated with pinched nerves, sciatica, neck pain, and a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative discs. Conditions of the lumbar and cervical spine can also be treated with spinal decompression.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical alternative to wide range of conditions. Decompression of the spine with unloading and proper positioning improves nutrient exchange and blood flow to injured areas providing a non-surgical and effective relief from pain and discomfort.

The treatment involves several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which increase in intensity over a period of 10-20 minutes. Therapy sessions typically last for 2 months with 1-2 treatments per week. Most patients begin to feel relief after 6-10 treatments. The average patient is released from treatment in 8 weeks or less.
