Struggling With Severe Neck or Back Pain? Non Surgical Decompression May Work For You

Oneonta Chiropractic is proud to offer non-surgical spinal decompression, a unique form of treatment that can help relieve back pain caused by conditions like sciatica, herniated discs or bulging discs, and spinal stenosis. If you suffer from back pain as a result of these or other debilitating conditions, spinal decompression therapy may be the answer you’re looking for. 

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a viable alternative to surgery and other more invasive methods. With the help of your chiropractic practitioner and advanced technology, you can hope to enjoy less back pain and discomfort, longer-lasting relief, and the confidence you need to be active again. 

The effects of non-surgical spinal decompression can vary depending on your condition. Potential benefits of this treatment include but are not limited to:

• Relief of pressure within the intervertebral discs, which consequently minimizes disc compression and reduces radiating sciatic nerve pain

• Correction of herniated discs and reduction in herniated disc pain

• Restoration of disc function

• Increased healing for damaged or degraded discs

• Decreased likelihood of degenerative disc disease

• Improvement in mobility and flexibility

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The core function of non-surgical spinal decompression is gently stretching the spine. This is done by combining the benefits of manual traction and modern technology with the knowledge of one of our expert chiropractic practitioners. 

When you visit Oneonta Chiropractic for non-surgical spinal compression therapy, you’ll lie down on a table to which you’re secured with harnesses. These straps are connected to an advanced computer system, which regulates the conditions of your treatment. The technology manages everything from duration to distraction or angle to intensity, ensuring the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing discomfort. 

By gently stretching the spine through traction, this treatment relieves pressure on the discs that act as cushions between the bones in your spine. It also creates a vacuum-like effect, which induces the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients that promote healing and strengthening.
