What is Spinal Decompression Chiropractic Care?
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions. It works by gently stretching the spine, which helps reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This therapy can help with conditions such as:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (nerve pain in the legs)
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
Dr. Robert P. Devine, D.C., has over 30 years of experience in chiropractic care, therapy, and acupuncture. At Chiropractic Care Center, we focus on relieving pain naturally without the need for surgery or medication.
How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?
Spinal decompression involves the use of a specialized table that gently stretches the spine. This helps create negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract. This process can improve blood flow, deliver nutrients to the spine, and promote healing.
