What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?

A NON-SURGICAL AND NON-INVASIVE OPTION
How does it work? This treatment provides a very specific and gentle stretch of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs.
The exact protocol you would need is based on a spinal examination, as well as any x-rays or MRI findings that are needed for proper diagnosis of your condition.
Unlike traditional traction techniques, true Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is the only way to decompress bulging and herniated spinal discs naturally.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Groton CT has helped many patients in our office find relief and avoid:
- Relying on medications
- Cortisone or pain injections
- Potentially unnecessary surgery
A COMFORTABLE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
What is a decompression session like? During treatment, our patients lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table while an advanced computer-controlled system gently stretches and relaxes the spine in a slow, rhythmic motion.
This controlled pull creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, which can:
- Ease the pressure on nerves
- Help herniated or bulging discs move back into place
- Encourage healing by improving hydration to the discs
Most patients find the treatment to be comfortable and relaxing, and many even fall asleep. Each session typically lasts around 30 minutes, and many of our patients begin to feel relief after just a few treatments.
FAQ
Although inversion tables and ordinary traction have been known to help with disc problems at times, they can only lower intradiscal pressure from +90 to +30 mm of mercury (pressure).
On the other hand, Spinal Decompression is clinically proven to create a negative pressure of up to -200 mm of mercury.
Traction can also trigger painful muscle contractions which worsen the pain in affected area. Spinal decompression is deep spinal traction without muscular contraction.
