Benefits of Decompression Therapy

Benefits of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a safe, non-invasive alternative for treating disc-related pain. This approach gently stretches the spine, targeting a specific disc level, using specialized equipment and parameters completely unique to you. This creates negative pressure within the discs and a vacuum phenomenon to help retract herniated or bulging discs. This also brings water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs to stimulate natural healing.

Unlike surgery, decompression therapy addresses the root cause of disc problems without the risks of complications, lengthy recovery times, or potential scarring. Many patients at our Lakeville chiropractic care center experience significant pain relief and improved mobility after a series of treatments, making it an easy choice for those looking for a conservative yet effective alternative to surgery.

Your initial visit will include a comprehensive evaluation of your condition, a discussion of your medical history, and the creation of a personalized treatment plan. We’ll thoroughly explain the decompression therapy process and address any questions you may have. The therapy itself is relaxing, precise, gentle, and typically pain-free.
