Common Questions About Spinal Decompression

If you have back pain or neck pain, the discomfort can prevent you from completing tasks throughout the day. Not only that, but the pain can become chronic without proper treatment. At Hudson Holistic Health & Chiropractic in Sarasota, FL, we offer various treatments, including spinal decompression, to alleviate your symptoms and help you heal. Here are some commonly asked questions about spinal decompression:

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive technique designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. It gently stretches the, either manually or with specialized equipment, to create negative pressure within the discs. This process can help retract bulging or herniated discs, improve nutrient flow to the spine, and alleviate pain associated with conditions like sciatica or degenerative disc disease.

What Conditions Does Spinal Decompression Treat?

Spinal decompression can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, such as the following:

• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
• Arthritis
• Chronic back pain
• Neck pain
• Pinched nerves

Is Spinal Decompression Painful?

One of the advantages of spinal decompression is that it is typically painless. During the procedure, you lie comfortably on your back while the equipment gently stretches and releases your spine. The movement is smooth and gentle, and many patients even fall asleep during the session. You remain fully clothed throughout, with no manual manipulation involved.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

The time it takes to see results from spinal decompression depends on the individual and the condition being treated. Some individuals may feel relief after just a few sessions, while others might need several weeks of treatment to see significant improvements. It is important to stay consistent with your care plan for the best outcomes and lasting relief.

Is Spinal Decompression Safe?

Spinal decompression is generally considered safe for most patients when performed by a trained professional. It is a non-invasive treatment that does not involve surgery or medication. However, as with any treatment, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to discuss your specific health conditions with our chiropractor to determine if spinal decompression is an appropriate option for you.
