ABOUT SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Advanced Non-Surgical Disc Treatment

Spinal decompression therapy is an innovative treatment that uses computer-controlled technology to gently stretch your spine. This creates negative pressure within the intervertebral discs, allowing herniated or bulging disc material to retract back into place. The reduced pressure also promotes the influx of healing nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, facilitating natural healing and pain relief.

This non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment is completely comfortable and performed in a relaxing environment. With over 20 years of experience, Chiropractic Associates of Alachua has helped thousands of patients find relief without surgery. Spinal decompression therapy works beautifully alongside traditional chiropractic care to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of spinal pain.

Spinal decompression offers hope to patients who thought surgery was their only option. By gently stretching the spine, we create an optimal healing environment for damaged discs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is spinal decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that uses computer-controlled technology to gently stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure within the disc, which helps retract herniated or bulging disc material and promotes the influx of healing nutrients and oxygen.
Is spinal decompression painful?
No. Most patients find spinal decompression therapy very comfortable and relaxing. You'll lie on a padded treatment table while the system applies gentle, precisely controlled distraction forces. Many patients actually fall asleep during sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical treatment protocol involves 20-30 sessions over 6-8 weeks, though this varies based on your specific condition. Many patients begin experiencing relief within the first few sessions. During your evaluation, we'll outline a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Is spinal decompression covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan and diagnosis. Our office staff will verify your benefits before treatment begins and explain all costs upfront. We also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible.
Who is a good candidate for spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is effective for many patients with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back or neck pain. However, it may not be appropriate for patients with certain conditions such as fractures, tumors, or severe osteoporosis. A thorough evaluation will determine if you're a candidate.
How does spinal decompression differ from traction?
While both involve stretching the spine, spinal decompression uses advanced computer-controlled technology to apply precise, cyclical forces that prevent muscle guarding. Traditional traction applies constant force, which can trigger protective muscle spasms that reduce effectiveness.
