Spinal Decompression is amongst the advanced musculoskeletal techniques and treatments available at Optimal Integrative. Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive and low-risk treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce the pain associated with a disc injury or sciatica.
Spinal decompression gently lifts pressure off the spinal discs and nerves, allowing herniated or bulging discs to retract. As a result, nutrient-rich fluids, oxygen, and water can flow freely into the discs, so they can heal.
It is performed using a special adjustable table designed to stretch your spine and create negative pressure within discs. The amount of pull is carefully calculated to meet your individual needs. This traction force results in the repositioning of the spinal discs and material to alleviate pain due to disc bulges. This procedure serves as an effective alternative to surgery.
Depending on your specific injury and treatment plan, spinal decompression therapy usually consists of 8-20 sessions. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes and is typically scheduled over a four- to six-week period.
The highly trained and experienced provider and staff at Optimal Integrative regularly perform spinal decompression treatments to alleviate pain.
If you are suffering with back pain due to herniated or bulging discs, you owe it to yourself to consult with one of our providers to see if this nonsurgical procedure is right for you. Contact us today at (219) 661-8680 and schedule your appointment
