Spinal decompression is an excellent solution for those suffering from pain caused by various spine-related health issues. The most significant advantage of spinal decompression is that it does not involve surgery. The non-surgical spinal decompression technique we offer at Capital Chiropractic treats several spinal conditions, including:
When it comes to pain, many Americans know the struggles that come with it. If pain is negatively affecting your life, Capital Chiropractic has many treatment options to help you while avoiding surgery and prescription drugs. Relief is possible with natural chiropractic treatments, including spinal decompression.
This FDA-approved technology relieves pain by expanding the space between the discs. During the procedure, the patient doesn’t experience any discomfort and will feel the spine gently stretching. This movement causes a vacuum effect within the disc, drawing back displaced disc material to help relieve pressure on nerves and replenish the spine with essential nutrients, fluids, and oxygen to help heal the damaged disc. The great thing about this therapy is that there is also no recovery time.
So, if you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, then spinal decompression at Capital Chiropractic may be the best treatment for you. Give our Sacramento office a call today to schedule a consultation. You’ll be one step closer to living pain-free.
Disc bulges, protrusions, and contained herniations often show good response. The therapy creates negative intradiscal pressure that can draw protruding material back toward center though results vary by individual healing capacity.
Modern systems use microprocessor-controlled cycles of distraction and relaxation, avoiding muscle guarding that occurs with static traction. This allows greater distraction forces comfortably at Capital Chiropractic in Sacramento.
We adjust angle of pull, distraction force, hold time, and session duration based on disc level involved, patient size, and condition acuity. Protocols differ significantly for cervical versus lumbar conditions.
Most plans involve 20 sessions over 6-8 weeks, though individual response varies. We monitor progress through symptom tracking and functional assessments, adjusting frequency as needed.
We avoid decompression with certain implant types, severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, tumors, or advanced instability. Thorough screening including imaging review ensures patient safety before starting treatment.
We often combine it with gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and core stabilization programs. This comprehensive approach addresses both structural and functional aspects of disc health.
We provide specific posture guidance, activity modification advice, and sometimes bracing recommendations. Consistent home practices significantly influence long-term treatment success for disc conditions.
With proper home care and maintenance, many patients maintain improvements for months to years. We recommend periodic re-evaluations and occasional maintenance sessions based on individual needs and activity levels.
