If you are suffering from persistent back or neck pain, spinal decompression is a treatment option that can help eliminate your symptoms. After your chiropractic evaluation, Dr. Stef will determine the best course of action to help you get back to being pain free. Spinal decompression is one type of chiropractic treatment we offer at New Heights Chiropractic & Nutrition. It involved use of a mechanical traction table which gently stretches your spine to relieve any pressure within your disks. If you are suffering from nerve pain, muscle weakness, or numbness, this treatment is for you. Spinal decompression can be used to treat many different causes of back pain. These include:

• Bulging Disk
• Herniated disk
• Sciatica
• Nerve compression
• Spinal Stenosis
• Migraines/headaches
• And more!

What to Expect During Treatment

Prior to treatment, the machine will be adjusted to ensure you receive the proper stretch without any pain.  Once the treatment begins, the table will move slowly and you will begin to feel a gentle pull on your spine. This helps relieve pressure on compressed nerves from disc herniations or stenosis. The stretch creates a small space in the spine allowing an increase of blood flow to the damaged area causing toxins to be eliminated.
