Spinal Decompression Therapy:

A Pain Relief Option without Surgery 

Spinal decompression therapy has become more and more popular as a go-to treatment choice for patients who thought they might never find relief from their pain without surgical intervention. At Buffalo Creek Chiropractic, we often use spinal decompression in conjunction with other therapies to treat the whole patient and provide ongoing pain relief.

Understanding Spinal Decompression

Are you tired of living with constant neck or back pain? Have you tried various treatments without finding relief? If you're suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatic pain, back or neck pain, spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that may provide you pain relief.

Spinal decompression is a revolutionary non-surgical approach designed to relieve pain and promote healing in the spine. It is highly effective for a variety of conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the affected area (often neck or lower lumbar spine). This helps relieve pressure on herniated or bulging discs in the spine, reducing pressure and promoting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the damaged discs. As a result, many patients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility, as well as decreased inflammation of the affected areas.

Potential Benefits

One of the primary advantages of non-surgical spinal decompression is its safety and effectiveness. Unlike surgical procedures, spinal decompression therapy is non-invasive and does not involve the risks associated with surgery. Many patients report feeling pain-free after just a few sessions.

At Buffalo Creek Chiropractic, we tailor every treatment plan and office visit to your unique needs. For patients who have undergone unsuccessful back surgery, spinal decompression therapy can offer new hope for relief. We often pair this treatment therapy with other chiropractic adjustments, tool-based adjustments, or PEMF (Pulse electromagnetic frequency) therapy.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression can be an incredibly effective option when it comes to treating spinal issues like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, neck pain, and chronic low back pain. When negative pressure is created in the affected area, this allows for healing to take place. Improved circulation to the area, and relief of pressure on potentially pinched nerves are other potential benefits. This gentle stretching not only provides pain relief but also aids in the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, alleviating pressure on spinal nerves.

During a typical spinal decompression session, you'll be comfortably positioned on a specialized table. This is a very gentle treatment, and most patients find it painless. You may experience a mild stretching sensation during the treatment, but that is the most common report we receive from patients. This is also a fairly quick procedure and your appointment with any other treatments included will likely not exceed an hour.

Spinal Decompression has become a highly sought treatment option due to its versatility. It's a safe and effective option for a wide range of individuals and spinal issues. Here are some key groups that can benefit:

• Chronic Low Back Pain Sufferers: If you've been grappling with persistent lower back pain, spinal decompression can be your ticket to relief.
• Individuals with Herniated or Bulging Discs: Spinal decompression gently and effectively addresses disc issues, reducing discomfort.
