Spinal Decompression FAQs
If you’ve been living with stubborn back or neck pain, you may have heard about spinal decompression. At Resolve Chiropractic and Wellness in Celina, TX, we often get questions from patients wondering if it might help them. Whether you're dealing with a herniated disc, sciatica, or chronic tension, spinal decompression could be the missing piece in your recovery plan.
Here’s what you need to know.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy designed to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. It’s performed using a specialized spinal decompression table or spinal decompression machine. The idea is simple but effective, by relieving tension in the spine, we create space for discs to rehydrate and heal.
How Does It Work?
During a session, you’ll lie comfortably on a chiropractic decompression table. The device slowly and safely stretches your spine in cycles of tension and relaxation. This movement helps reduce pressure inside the affected discs, drawing in nutrients and oxygen that promote healing. It’s a pain-free experience for most people, and many report feeling immediate relief.
What Conditions Can It Help With?
Spinal decompression may be recommended if you have:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica or sciatic nerve irritation
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic lower back pain or neck pain
If you've tried other treatments without success, decompression could offer a new path forward.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Treatment plans vary based on your condition and how your body responds. Most patients need a series of sessions over several weeks for lasting back pain relief. Your chiropractor will customize a plan that's tailored to your needs and recovery goals.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for Me?
If you're looking for an alternative to surgery or pain medication, spinal decompression is worth considering. Our chiropractor near you will perform a thorough assessment to determine if you’re a good candidate. We may also recommend complementary therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, massage, or cervical decompression depending on your symptoms.
