What is Spinal Decompression?

The objective of this therapy is relief of back, neck, or leg pain.  Our Pottstown chiropractor differentiates it from surgical spinal decompression procedures such as a microdiscectomy or a laminectomy.

Spinal decompression in Pottstown is a technique using a traction table or a similar piece of motorized equipment to stretch the spine and take pressure off defective discs.  This relieves pain by decreasing pressure on nerves and other spinal structures.  The therapy creates a negative pressure within a disc to offer two benefits.  The treatment pulls bulging or herniated disc contents back into the affected disc.  It also helps nutrients pass into the disc to create an improved healing environment.

Common Conditions Spinal Decompression Treats

Chiropractors use spinal decompression to treat a number of conditions.  The most common are:

  • Sciatica
  • Neck pain linked to a bulging degenerated or herniated disc

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Bulging Disc        
  • Herniated Disc         
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Spinal Stenosis    
  • Facet Syndrome      
  • Failed Back Surgery
  • Radiculopathy (pinched nerves)

Treatment from Our Pottstown Chiropractor

Pain relief begins with a visit to our Pottstown chiropractor, who will explain how chiropractic works.  Following an examination and a review of the patient’s health history and symptoms, our doctor conducts a comprehensive physical exam.  Based on the diagnosis, our chiropractor recommends a customized treatment plan for pain relief.

A chiropractor eliminates some potential spinal decompression candidates after reviewing their health histories.  Examples of those for whom the therapy is not are appropriate are patients who are pregnant, have experienced spinal fusion, have had more than one procedure without improvement in pain, have specific health conditions like osteoporosis, or take blood thinners.

During a spinal decompression session in Pottstown, a patient lies on a partially movable motorized table.  A harness around the individual’s hips attaches to the portion of the table that can move, near the patient’s feet. 

While the top of the table remains stationary, the bottom part moves intermittently and in a controlled way.  As it slides back and forth, it creates traction and provides relaxation.  

Although patients should feel stretching in their spines, they should not experience pain during or following a spinal decompression session.  Sessions typically last 45 minutes or less and occur over a period of four to six weeks.
