What Is Spinal Decompression?

 

Disc herniation occurs when some of the softer "jelly"

of the disc pushes out through a crack in the exterior.

A herniated disc can irritate nearby nerves and result

in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.

​

Spinal Decompression provides motorized traction

to gently separate the vertebrae from each other,

creating a vacuum inside the discs.

 

The negative pressure may induce the retraction

of the herniated or bulging disc back into the inside

of the disc, and off the nerve root.

 

The cycles of decompression, over a series of visits,

promote the diffusion of water, oxygen and nutrient-rich

fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside.

These nutrients enable the torn and degenerated

disc fibers to begin to heal.
