Understanding Spinal Decompression in Massapequa NY

This gentle, non-surgical & drug free approach can provide relief to lower back and neck pain. The spinal decompression table relieves back pain by reducing pressure on the spine, disc, soft tissue muscles, and nerves.  The spine is gently stretched to help alleviate conditions such as a herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain. Depending on your specific case, a spinal decompression program/protocol is often recommended as part of a customized chiropractic care plan.  Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of recurrence.

How Long Does the Session Take?

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.

What to Expect During Treatment

One of the most beneficial aspects of spinal decompression is the relaxation it provides during the treatment. After the patient is correctly positioned, the computerized equipment will be programed for your specific case and will initiate its treatment protocol, resulting in the patient experiencing a decompressed and relaxed state. Spinal decompression may cause mild discomfort at first, but this typically improves as your body adapts and the healing progresses.
