At Ross Chiropractic, we have years of experience providing residents of San Jose, CA, and the surrounding areas with natural and effective chiropractic care. One of the many treatments we offer is spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression involves gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and improve circulation. This will result in an improved range of motion and an enhancement of your body’s natural healing process. Following are the answers to several questions our chiropractor often receives regarding spinal decompression.

How is Spinal Decompression Helpful?

If you suffer from back pain as a result of herniated discs, degenerating discs, or bulging discs, then spinal decompression may be for you. It can help back pain caused by sciatica and pinched nerves. If you have suffered an injury to your spinal nerves or have spinal stenosis, you could be a great candidate for spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is an attractive option for back pain relief because it is natural and non-invasive. Rather than masking your pain with prescription medication, spinal decompression can relieve your back pain at its source and minimize the likelihood of it returning in the future.

What Happens During a Spinal Decompression?

During a spinal decompression session, our chiropractor will fit a harness around your hips and another around your trunk. You lie on a table that is controlled by a computer. The treatment is customized specifically for you and then controlled by the computer. After your chiropractor assesses your condition, they may decide that you require additional services to maximize the benefits of spinal decompression.

These services could include electric stimulation, which is when an electrical current is sent to your muscles to help them contract. We may also use sound waves to promote heat and healing within your body. The amount of sessions required to promote a full recovery varies from patient to patient. Our chiropractor will consider the root cause and severity of your back pain to provide you with the most effective possible combination of chiropractic services.
