Non Surgical Spinal Decompression For Rockville and Gaithersburg Maryland Herniated Disc Patients

Each of us is constantly in a battle—with gravity! A frequent casualty is the soft disc material that separates each spinal bone. Pressure from our weight, trauma from an accident and other causes can increase the pressure on a weakened disc. In extreme cases, the soft pulpy center of the disc can escape. That can be quite painful, whether in the neck of low back and sometimes causes sciatic pain.

We use Spinal Decompression in conjunction with The Pettibon System™ therapy protocols this enables us to achieve unprecedented, lasting results with the rehabilitation of spinal discs and most spinal corrective patients. Spinal Decompression helps relieve the effects of back pain due to herniated and degenerated discs. Since discs are constantly under weight-bearing pressure, they can be slow to heal. By gently "stretching” your spine, we help relieve pressure and enhance healing. This is called disc decompression.

Ongoing research continues to show benefits of the comprehensive approach of spinal decompression therapy for recovery of disc health.

What Can I Expect?

First, we'll have you lie down on our Spinal Decompression table. Then, ever so slowly, we'll stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Our patients tell us this traction process is quite pleasant, even relaxing. Because they don’t feel the need to "guard” their spine, each sequence helps the damaged disc receive nourishment, expel cellular waste and enjoy reduced pressure. Then, healing can begin.

Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Anyone who has low back or neck pain that is caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be benefited by Spinal Decompression Therapy. These conditions include protruded, bulging or herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, or radiating pain down the arms or legs.

While not a cure-all, our spinal decompression table is highly effective, especially when combined with chiropractic care. Our experience shows that decompression can be helpful in supporting cases prone to frequent relapses. Do you know someone we could help overcome the effects of gravity?
