Spinal Decompression

Back and neck pain are common conditions that Americans face every day. When they do, a visit to a chiropractor’s office is often the most effective way of addressing that pain. At Premier Chiropractic in Federal Way, we have a variety of methods available for pain relief, one of which is spinal decompression. Let’s learn more about this incredible treatment and how you can benefit from it.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Your spinal column consists of various components, including muscles, discs, nerves, ligaments, and bones. Unfortunately, daily life all too often provides several opportunities for these components to get out of alignment and become compressed. A misalignment can lead to many sources of pain, discomfort, and suffering. Spinal decompression is a method through which your spinal column is gently stretched, allowing each component to return to its proper place.

How It Works

The patient simply lies down on a motorized table. This table then moves in various directions – slowly and gently – to stretch the troubled areas. There is no pain involved. In fact, people find it to be a very relaxing experience. The patient just lies there as the tension and compression are relieved.

Conditions Treated

Spinal decompression is beneficial for many conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Headaches
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica
  • Muscle tension

Often, as the spine becomes decompressed, other benefits appear. For example, some people notice relief from digestive discomfort or that they can breathe easier.

The Benefits of Spinal Decompression

In addition to pain relief, spinal decompression can produce other great benefits. One major one is that it is a completely natural method of treatment. It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require any type of prescription.

Another important benefit is how the process can help the body heal and prevent future issues. As each section of the spine is stretched, it draws in healing nutrients, natural pain relievers, and blood flow – like a vacuum. These elements help heal the damaged areas, preventing further pain.

It is also effective at restoring the patient’s range of motion. Many patients find that they can more easily manage their day-to-day tasks and even return to activities they’ve missed out on.
