Spinal Decompression Therapy

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate chronic back and neck pain. This therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution by gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves.  Used as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with chiropractic and registered massage therapy, it is a very effective and gentle treatment to help overcome the symptoms of disc herniations, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease.  

How Spinal Decompression Works

Using a motorized traction device, our chiropractors at Momentum Health apply controlled forces to gently stretch the spine. This process creates a vacuum effect within the spinal discs, encouraging the flow of healing fluids and nutrients to the affected area. Over a series of sessions, this can lead to significant pain relief and improved spinal health.

Cervical & Lumbar Spine Decompression

The decompression technology at Momentum Health provides relief for both cervical and lumbar spine conditions.  Both treatments are gentle and provide relief for neck and low back pain as well as radicular symptoms caused by nerves (pain in the arms and legs).  Lumbar decompression can also be performed supine (lying on your back) or prone (lying on your front) to provide maximal comfort and effectiveness.  

Why Choose Spinal Decompression Therapy?

• Non-Invasive & Drug-Free: Avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgery and medication.
• Noticeable Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction after just a few sessions.
• Long-Term Benefits: By addressing the root cause of back pain, spinal decompression provides lasting relief.
• Comprehensive Care: At Momentum Health, spinal decompression is part of a holistic treatment plan that includes exercise and chiropractic treatments  to ensure the best possible outcomes.
