Spinal Decompression

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a revolutionary new technology used primarily to treat disc injuries in the neck and in the low back. This treatment option is very safe and utilizes FDA cleared equipment to apply traction forces to spinal structures in a precise and graduated manner to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the targeted discs.

This “vacuum effect” can help to pull back the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc, and off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both. It happens only microscopically each time, but the cumulative results over four to six weeks are dramatic.

Over a series of visits these cycles of decompression and partial relaxation promote the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside. These nutrients enable the torn and degenerated disc fibers to begin to heal.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression or back pain at hemet chiropractors is very effective at treating bulging discs, herniated discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, radiating arm pain, degenerative disc disease, leg pain, and facet syndromes. the treatments are simple, comfortable and effective. For the low back, the patient lies comfortably on their back or stomach on the decompression table, with a set of nicely padded straps snug around the waist and another set around the lower chest. For the neck, the patient lies comfortably on their back with a pair of soft rubber pads behind the neck. Many patients enjoy the treatment, and even walk out of the office already noticing a difference in their pain levels.
