Spinal Decompression

Finding relief for back and neck pain can be challenging. At Upchurch Chiropractic in Royal Oak, MI, we have treated back and neck pain for many years. One effective method of back and neck pain treatment is spinal decompression. Read on to learn more about this treatment option.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a type of chiropractic treatment that can be used to relieve pressure in the spine. The spine is made up of many individual vertebrae. Between each of these vertebrae, there is a soft cushion called a disc. If this disc becomes inflamed, dislodged, or ruptured, it can cause a great deal of pain in the back and neck. It can also compress spinal nerves, causing pain in the extremities. 

Spinal decompression is a treatment that will gently relieve the pressure in between the vertebrae. When this pressure is relieved, blood, oxygen, and other nutrients can get to the disc. This relieves pain and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.

Who Needs Spinal Decompression?

This type of therapy is often recommended for people suffering from herniated or ruptured discs. A disc can become herniated or ruptured because of an injury or because of degenerative disc disease. Spinal decompression may also be recommended for people who have recently been in an auto accident or have sustained a personal injury of some kind. This treatment can help to relieve inflammation in the spine and surrounding tissues. 

What to Expect When Visiting a Chiropractor

When you visit our chiropractor, you will be evaluated for overall health and wellness. If needed, diagnostic tests will be done to determine if spinal decompression is a good option for you. If it is determined that you should have spinal decompression, our chiropractor will schedule your first session.

During the decompression sessions, you will lay on a specially designed decompression table. This table will apply computer-controlled pressure to pull the vertebrae of the spine gently away from each other. Regular spinal decompression sessions will relieve your pain, restore your range of motion, and improve your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
