Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy: How It Works
Spinal Decompression Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive chiropractic treatment that uses a computer-controlled table to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs and nerves. This technique, which incorporates the FDA-cleared DRX-9000 system, creates negative pressure that helps reposition bulging or herniated discs and promotes the influx of healing nutrients.
Key components of Spinal Decompression Therapy include:
- Mechanical Decompression: Utilizing the DRX-9000, the therapy applies precise, controlled forces to the spine, which are adjusted based on real-time feedback to maximize comfort and effectiveness.
- Comprehensive Pain Relief: Aimed at alleviating back pain and promoting an optimal healing environment, the therapy addresses severe cases of spinal issues, including those resistant to other treatments.
- Tailored Treatments: Each session is customized using advanced technology to target specific areas of the spine, ensuring that treatment is both effective and comfortable for the patient.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is especially beneficial for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments such as medications or physical therapy. This method provides a promising alternative to surgery, offering relief from pain and a return to function.
When Do You Need Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Identifying the right time to seek spinal decompression therapy is crucial for effective relief and recovery. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consider this therapy:
- Persistent Lower Back Pain: Pain that does not improve with conventional treatments.
- Sciatica: Sharp, shooting pain that travels from your lower back down to your legs.
- Numbness or Tingling: Sensations in your arms or legs, indicating nerve compression.

These symptoms often result from conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis, all of which can potentially be alleviated by spinal decompression.

FAQs About Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and improving the health of your spinal discs.
Spinal decompression uses a motorized device that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure and space between the vertebrae, which can help retract herniated or bulging discs and promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs.
Spinal decompression therapy is effective for conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, and other spinal issues that do not respond well to conventional treatments.
The cost for spinal decompression therapy can vary widely based on location and clinic, but typically ranges from $100 to $200 per session, with a full course of treatment often requiring 20 to 30 sessions.
