What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a great treatment option for people experiencing sciatica. It is a therapy that provides a gentle and smooth pull to the cervical or lumbar spine to decompress the intervertebral discs. Cervical and lumbar disc herniations are some of the most common causes of radiculopathy in the neck and lower back. These radicular symptoms can be extremely debilitating, and some patients even consider surgery. Surgery should be a last resort after you have tried all other non-invasive therapies first. Spinal decompression could help keep you out of surgery. We have seen amazing patient outcomes with non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.
Here are some reasons why we see such great results: Most of the spinal decompression tables in the past have been cable-based pulley systems. The Hill DT table at HD Performance Chiropractic is the world's most advanced decompression table, with 96% of patients reporting better outcomes. “The Hill DT spinal decompression table employs sophisticated load sensor technology which constantly measures and monitors the treatment force and patient-resistance of every treatment. At a rate of over 10,000 pulses per millimeter, the table senses the patient’s approaching threshold and reduces the pull, allowing the table to provide low-force, smooth decompression in a completely different class from cable-based systems.” This helps to reduce the amount of muscle guarding a patient can experience during decompression therapy. The technology works to provide a smooth pull with less muscle guarding and muscle spasms. It decreases the amount of stiffness that you may feel on other cable-based decompression machines.
We don’t stop there. Each decompression treatment is accompanied with a treatment of EMS (electric muscle stimulation) and heat. This is an additional service we provide for patients to help the muscles relax even further. The combination of decompression therapy, EMS and heat has produced excellent outcomes for our patients. You will also receive mobility and strength exercises that will help you decrease your symptoms and keep this type of pain from coming back. Our goal is to get you out of pain and keep you out of pain. This multimodal approach sets us apart from other clinics in the area. HD Performance Chiropractic takes pride in our efficient outcomes. We truly want the best for our patients.
If you are dealing with sciatica, or cervical radiculopathy, then spinal decompression could be right for you. Not only could it take your numbness and tingling away, but it could also restore your strength if you’re experiencing muscle weakness. The research suggests a medical recommended dose of 18-24 treatments to feel complete resolution of symptoms. However, we have seen many patients get better in much fewer treatments. Each condition is unique and treatment times may vary. We strive to get you out of pain as quickly as possible.
