Overview

A Non-Surgical Solution for
Disc & Nerve Pain.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical procedure our Brooklyn chiropractors use for disabling pain in the lower back and neck, and for pain that radiates into the arms and legs. It is used for bulging, herniated, degenerative and ruptured discs, sciatica, and many failed back surgery cases.

A motorized table gently stretches the spine, unloading the discs and facet joints through distraction and positioning. Relieving that pressure gives a bulging or herniated disc room to retract and lets the healing process do its work.

Commonly Helps With:

  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Herniated & Bulging Discs
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Sciatica
  • Posterior Facet Syndrome
  • Spinal Nerve Injuries

How does spinal decompression therapy work?

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine using a motorized table or traction device. This relieves pressure on the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract, promoting healing and relieving pain.

What conditions can spinal decompression help treat?

It is commonly used to treat herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome and spinal stenosis — especially in the lower back and neck.

What happens during a session?

Sessions run about 8 to 12 minutes, typically 2 to 3 times per week. Electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound and therapeutic laser may be applied during a session to help relax muscles and promote further healing of injured tissues. Afterwards your doctor may prescribe specific exercises to help you regain control and strength in the stabilizing muscles.

Is spinal decompression painful?

No, most patients find the treatment comfortable or even relaxing. You may feel gentle stretching, but it shouldn't be painful.

How many treatments will I need?

Most treatment plans include between 15 and 30 sessions over several weeks. The exact number depends on your specific condition and your response to therapy.

Can spinal decompression help me avoid surgery?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical procedure, so it helps patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications and the potential of failed back surgery. It is used for patients with bulging, herniated, degenerative or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica and many failed back surgery cases.
