Whether your back pain is caused by a herniated disc, a pinched nerve, or degenerative disc disease, it can stop you from participating in the activities you love and seriously limit your mobility. If you’re ready to alleviate your back pain without undergoing invasive surgeries, you may be a perfect candidate for our spinal decompression treatments at Chiro-Med Health Center in Lynchburg, VA. 

What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a state of the art, FDA-approved technique that was designed to treat back pain without resorting to invasive surgeries. The process utilizes cutting edge technology to apply a distraction force to the back area in order to slowly lengthen and decompress the spine. This creates negative pressure in the vertebrae and promotes the repositioning of herniated discs. Spinal decompression can also nudge a bulging disc back into shape, reducing the amount of pressure that is placed on the surrounding nerves. 

What conditions does spinal decompression treat?

Spinal decompression treats herniated discs, bulging discs, pinched nerves, sciatica (leg pain), degenerative disc disease (DDD), spinal stenosis, post-surgical pain, and more. If you’re unsure of whether or not you could benefit from spinal decompression, your chiropractor would be more than happy to help you determine the optimal course of action. 

What can I expect at my spinal decompression appointment?

When you arrive for your spinal decompression treatment, you will be fitted for a special harness that allows you to experience the procedure as comfortably as possible. During your treatment, you will feel your spine begin to lengthen. The process is entirely safe - some patients even find it relaxing. 

If at any point you wish to stop the treatment, you can simply flip the safety switch and the process will cease immediately. Your session will typically take about half an hour, although the amount of time can vary based on your doctor’s recommendation and your specific condition.
