How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal discs separate each vertebra in the spinal column. These discs allow your spine to move with your body comfortably. When they slip out of place or suffer other forms of dysfunction, it can leave you with chronic or recurring pain. That’s when a visit to Oakview Chiropractic Center for spinal decompression in Omaha can help. Here’s what you need to know about spinal decompression and what it can do for you.  

Why Would You Need Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is often used to treat sciatica. Sciatica is a condition that causes pain as well as tingling and numbing sensations down the leg. We often see patients suffering from sciatica due to a bulging or herniated disc placing excessive pressure on the sciatic nerve.

We also use spinal decompression to treat a variety of conditions and injuries that cause mild to severe pain in the neck or back. If you suffer from a condition that impacts your spine or experience a bulging or herniated disc, this treatment may help relieve your discomfort. You can use non-surgical decompression alone or as part of a more comprehensive pain management plan. Working with our experienced doctor who is familiar with spinal decompression is the only way to ensure optimal results.

How This Therapy Works 

Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine. This encourages the discs to shift back into place. This treatment also allows oxygen to enter the spine and promotes the body’s natural healing process. The non-surgical procedure makes other chiropractic adjustments more comfortable and effective.
