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.

Stephanie Reef2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I sustained a sports injury to the neck and cervical spine area in 2017 that created some unusual and complicated symptoms that rendered me unable to drive, exercise, and perform daily activities such as shopping. Through chiropractic care, I've managed to live somewhat of a normal life. Moving from Kansas City to Minnesota I knew I had to find another chiropractor who would be up for the challenge. When I first walked into Enlighten Chiropractic I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Lee and Dr. B left no stone unturned with their extensive training and knowledge, which allows me to continue living a productive life. I'm driving and able to do the things I enjoy once again. They are true healers. This is how healthcare should be. Diane Mattson2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
