Spinal Decompression Treatment – A Non-Invasive Solution for Back Pain
Back pain can be frustrating and limit your ability to enjoy daily activities. It may be caused by various conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Pinched nerves
- Sciatica (pain in the lower back, hip, and leg)
- Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
- Spinal Stenosis
- Post-surgical pain
At Texas Spine and Sports Therapy Center, Dr. Bart Atencio and his team specialize in non-invasive, drug-free treatments to help relieve back pain and restore mobility. One of the most effective treatments we offer is Spinal Decompression Therapy.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal Decompression Therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. This helps promote natural healing and reduce pain. Many patients who have not found relief through medication or surgery experience significant improvement with this treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
- You will be securely strapped into a specialized decompression table.
- The machine will gently stretch your spine, creating negative pressure to reduce disc compression.
- Sessions last about 30 minutes and require no recovery time or medication.
- A full treatment plan typically includes 20 to 25 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your condition.
Why Spinal Decompression is Effective
Unlike traditional traction or physical therapy, spinal decompression creates negative pressure within the discs, allowing them to realign and heal naturally.
Our clinic uses the DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression system, one of the most advanced technologies available. It automatically adjusts tension based on your body’s response, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
