Spinal Decompression

At Inlet Integrated Health Centre, we offer Spinal Decompression Therapy—a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment designed to relieve back and neck pain, promote healing, and improve mobility. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, disc issues, or sciatic discomfort, spinal decompression could be the solution you’ve been looking for to help you feel better and live pain-free.

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a specialized form of therapy that aims to alleviate pressure on the spine, specifically the discs, nerve roots, and other spinal structures. It uses a motorized traction system to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process helps to:

Relieve pain caused by conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
Promote healing by improving the flow of oxygen, nutrients, and fluids to damaged spinal discs and tissues.
Restore disc height and improve spinal alignment.
Reduce pressure on nerve roots and decrease inflammation.

Spinal decompression therapy can offer significant relief for those who have not found success with traditional treatments like medications, physical therapy, or surgery.

How Spinal Decompression Works

During spinal decompression therapy, you’ll be fitted with a harness while lying comfortably on a specialized table. The table will be adjusted to apply gentle, precise traction to your spine. The treatment is designed to target the area of discomfort, whether it’s in your neck or lower back.

The process is non-invasive, and most patients experience a gentle, stretching sensation. Spinal decompression creates a negative pressure environment within the discs, which helps to draw herniated or bulging disc material back into place, relieving pressure on surrounding nerves and tissues.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is highly effective for treating a variety of spinal conditions, including:

Herniated or Bulging Discs: When a disc in the spine protrudes or bulges out, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Decompression helps draw the disc material back into place.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Over time, the discs between the vertebrae can wear down, causing pain and stiffness. Spinal decompression can help restore disc height and alleviate pressure.
Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc, leads to pain that radiates down the leg. Decompression can relieve this nerve compression and reduce symptoms.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Spinal decompression may offer relief by creating more space within the spine.
Facet Syndrome: This condition involves inflammation in the joints of the spine, which decompression can help reduce.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: For patients who have not found relief after surgery, spinal decompression may offer an alternative option for pain relief.

What to Expect During Spinal Decompression Treatment

Your first visit will include a thorough consultation and evaluation by one of our specialists, where we will review your medical history and discuss your specific pain symptoms. Depending on your condition, we may use diagnostic imaging such as X-rays to determine the most effective treatment plan.

Once you begin spinal decompression therapy, each session typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. The therapy is painless and gentle, and many patients report feeling relaxed during the procedure. You may feel some mild stretching or tension, but it should not be painful.

Spinal decompression is typically administered in a series of sessions over several weeks to achieve the best results. Our practitioners will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure your recovery is on track.

Pain Relief: Spinal decompression can provide significant relief from back, neck, and leg pain caused by herniated discs, sciatica, and other conditions.
Improved Mobility: By alleviating pressure on the discs and nerves, decompression helps restore movement and flexibility, making it easier to perform daily activities.
