Spinal decompression is a noninvasive treatment that uses a computerized table and a special harness to gently stretch your spine. It’s a pain-free way to address common musculoskeletal issues.
If you regularly experience neck or back pain and it interferes with your ability to work, exercise, or get a good night’s sleep, spinal decompression may be able to provide relief.
The team at Elite Spine and Health Center uses spinal decompression to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Sciatica
- Herniated discs
- Worn spinal joints (posterior facet syndrome)
- Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
You might also benefit from spinal decompression if you experience a sports injury or a personal injury.
At Elite Spine and Health Center, the team performs spinal decompression on an outpatient basis. At the beginning of your appointment, your provider puts a harness around your pelvis and torso. Then, they have you lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table.
Once you’re comfortable, your provider stands at a computer console. They use the console to control the movements of the table. Treatment lasts 30-45 minutes. During that time, the computerized table and harnesses work together to gently stretch your spine, relieving tension and encouraging circulation.
Following treatment, your provider might recommend a complementary therapy, like e-stim or therapeutic ultrasound, to enhance the benefits of the procedure.
Spinal decompression is a cumulative treatment, meaning the results add up over time. As a result, the team at Elite Spine and Health Center typically recommends you participate in a series of 20-28 treatments spaced over 5-7 weeks.
At each visit, your provider monitors your progress and makes adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary.
Spinal decompression is usually well-tolerated. After each treatment session, you might experience some mild stiffness or achy muscles, but these symptoms should subside within a day or two. If they persist or get worse, let your provider at Elite Spine and Health Center know right away.
