SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

Our Northampton clinic offers spinal decompression therapy, which is a treatment designed to address disc problems. The spine has delicate disc material that shields it from the strain of routine activities such as walking, turning, sitting, or lifting. However, incorrect posture or improper biomechanics can cause pressure to mount over time, resulting in damage or loss of disc material.

Spinal decompression therapy is an extremely effective treatment option for individuals suffering from conditions related to the spinal discs, such as herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, degenerative disc disease, chronic neck or back pain, and spinal stenosis. This non-invasive therapy involves applying a gentle traction force to the spine, which generates negative pressure within the discs, enabling them to retract and alleviate pressure on the affected nerves. It allows hydration and vital nutrients to return to the disc space and promote healing.

The innovative flexibility of our spinal decompression therapy tables allows for individualised treatment tailored to each patient’s specific needs. It has been proven to be highly effective in treating the lower back (lumbar) or neck (cervical) regions, with gentle traction applied to the spine while the table goes through a rhythmic cycle to pump fluids and nutrients back into the spinal disc space, promoting healing of cellular damage from previous injuries. Generally, disc injuries are difficult to heal due to the lack of blood supply to the area, making spinal decompression therapy an effective option. By easing spinal pressure, the therapy creates an optimal environment for continued healing even after the treatment has ended.
