Decompression / Herniated or Bulging Disc

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy? 

Spinal Decompression therapy is FDA cleared and has a high success rate for pain associated with herniated or bulging discs, even after failed surgery.  It is a non-surgical, traction based therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain.  During this procedure, by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it.

During spinal decompression therapy, a negative pressure is created within the disc.  Because of that negative pressure, disc material that has protruded or herniated can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc, and permit healing to occur.

People with back or neck pain caused by a damaged disc can benefit from spinal decompression therapy.  In most cases, the treatments are painless.  Some patients actually find the spinal decompression therapies very relaxing and even fall asleep.
