Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a type of non-surgical chiropractic treatment for disorders associated with bulging or herniated spinal discs and the chronic pain that they cause. At Life Force Chiropractic in Glen Burnie, MD, our chiropractors offer spinal decompression to treat a range of conditions, including chronic neck and pack pain. Our goal is to help you return to a healthy, pain-free life.

Spinal Decompression Therapy 

Spinal decompression is a natural, safe, and effective treatment for spinal disorders. With spinal decompression, a special type of treatment table is used to stretch and create negative pressure on a patient's spine, its discs, and supporting tissues. Our chiropractor uses this method to treat herniated discs, which occur when a disc moves out of place and causes pain. It can also treat sciatica, which is when a disc presses on the sciatic nerve. Stretching the spine allows the discs to move back into their proper places and stop pressing on parts of the back.

How it Works

In preparing a patient for the therapy, our chiropractor will strap the patient into a table that gently pulls on the spine. When the therapy begins, the spine is stretched, and negative pressure is created within the discs of the affected part of the spine. In turn, that can reposition discs back to their intended positions and release pressure on spinal nerves. The treatment takes about 30 minutes.

Depending on the nature and extent of a patient's condition, treatment can last up to 6 weeks. It is important to stay consistent with spinal decompression therapy to get the full benefits. Our chiropractor might pair decompression therapy with other methods to enhance your body’s recovery.
