What is Spinal Decompression?

Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a safe and effective way to slightly increase the space between your vertebrae. This process relieves pressure on nerves that were being pinched by two structures in the spine, allowing them more room for movement. Decompressing the spine can relieve pressure on pinched nerves and boost blood flow to that area, delivering more oxygen with nutrients. The procedure creates a type of negative pressure between vertebrae that can help pull your bulging disc back into place.

What are the benefits of spinal decompression?

The nerves that travel through your spine can become pinched, a condition called radiculopathy. This occurs due to many different back problems and while an injury may lead you have compressed ones. It mostly develops as part of degenerative conditions such as:

  • Herniated disc
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Bone spurs
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Facet joint arthritis

The sciatica is a condition where the spinal nerve gets pinched, causing severe pain that begins in your lower back and radiates down one leg.

What to expect during spinal decompression treatment?

Dr. Williams uses a motorized treatment table to perform your decompression therapy and after you lie down on it, he places a harness around your hips which connects with the end near one foot for stability during treatments. The gentle rocking of the table helps to stretch and relax your spine. Dr. Williams will watch you closely, making sure that this treatment is customized for an individual's needs before moving onto their next appointment.
