Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that aims to alleviate back and neck pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. Here are some of the benefits of spinal decompression therapy:

1. Pain relief: Spinal decompression therapy can help to relieve pain by reducing pressure on the affected nerves and promoting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area.

2. Non-invasive: Unlike surgery, spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that doesn't require any incisions or anesthesia, which means there are fewer risks and complications associated with the procedure.

3. Cost-effective: Spinal decompression therapy is generally less expensive than surgery, making it a more accessible option for patients who cannot afford more invasive treatments.

4. Improved mobility: By reducing pressure on the affected nerves and promoting the flow of oxygen and nutrients, spinal decompression therapy can help to improve mobility and range of motion.

5. Short recovery time: Unlike surgery, which can require a lengthy recovery period, spinal decompression therapy typically has a short recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more quickly.

It's important to note that spinal decompression therapy may not be suitable for everyone, and it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine whether it's the right treatment option for you.

Kinetic Chiropractic offers cervical and lumbar spinal decompression. An exam will be performed prior to the initial decompression session in order to ensure patient safety and determine if the pain is treatable with decompression.
