What Does Non Surgical Spinal Decompression Involve?
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment procedure that involves taking the pressure off your discs and joints through gentle and specifically targeted stretching of the spine to reduce pain and improve mobility.
It utilises a computerised medical device called a Decompression Table to help relieve neck and back pain with associated arm and sciatic pain. It also aims to relieve symptoms associated with bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, compressed or pinched nerves and radiculopathy.
Operated by a certified technician, the Decompression Table applies gentle stretch and release protocols to create a vacuum effect that encourages retraction and repositioning of any bulging or herniated disc material to its original position, giving the disc the opportunity to heal and rehydrate.
The Decompression Table has seven sensors that will continually monitor your position on the table to ensure a precise amount of force, thereby delivering a more consistent result than is possible with human hands alone in traditional manipulative therapies.
As a result of the gentle stretch and release protocols on the specific disc, negative pressure is created over time. This vacuum effect encourages any herniated material back into the disc taking pressure off the nerves, reducing chronic pain and improving mobility.
What Will You Feel During The Treatment?
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression is a very gentle, pleasant, and even soothing experience. With the actual time on the decompression table lasting only 20 minutes, you will be fully dressed and be completely relaxed. You can listen to music, meditate, or even sleep if you want to.
You will not feel any pain during the procedure. Some individuals may experience a temporary soreness and/or stiffness after a decompression treatment session which is a sign that muscles have been worked in a new way. This feeling is usually relieved by walking for a short distance immediately after the treatment session.
As Non Surgical Spinal Decompression is non-invasive, so it does not involve breaking the skin or inserting instruments into the body. It does not require any incision or penetration of the skin to treat a condition, so no cuts or punctures are made during the procedure.
It is also a drug-free procedure so you will not feel the effects of anesthetics, sedatives, muscle relaxants, pain relievers, or anti-anxiety medications. No drugs are needed to be administered before, during, and after the procedure.
