Is spinal decompression a good alternative to surgery in Jupiter FL?

At Harbourside Chiropractic & Rehabilitation we offer the latest technology in non-surgical spinal decompression. This treatment is a good alternative to surgery resulting from chronic neck pain, low back pain, and sciatica. Non-surgical spinal decompression technology is used for the treatment of disc herniations, disc bulges, facet syndrome, sciatica, spinal stenosis and arthritis.

Spinal Decompression uses a traction device that uses a computer to specifically traction the affected spinal disc at a specific angle and tension. By using this very specific technology it creates a negative pressure within the affected disc which in turn creates a vacuum like effect that actually draws the bulging or slipped material back to the center of the disc. This negative pressure also draws fluid and nutrients back into the disc which is great since the discs lack a blood supply. These extra nutrients and fluid are used to help heal the injured disc and rehydrate.

Treatment time for decompression is very non-invasive and lasts about 15-20 mins long. Patients are laying down and often tend to fall asleep or completely relax during the treatment time. The actual traction is a gentle pulling that occurs to the affected area.

Understanding Spinal Decompression

This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.

How Long Does the Session Take?

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
