What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a fairly new method used by a small group of chiropractors and spinal doctors. The spinal decompression process is non-surgical and is used to treat injuries in the neck and lower back.

Using FDA approved equipment, the spinal decompression technique allows the vertebrae to separate from eachother and reduce the pain that a patient may may feel. 

A patient may see results from spinal decompression therapy in four to six weeks, with weekly sessions.

Not all chiropractors offer spinal decompression as part of their service offerings, so a bit of research is needed. Services like American Spinal list out a variety of doctors in each area code and city that have identified themselves as offering spinal decompression, but if you live in a smaller city, reaching out to chiropractors to let them know that there is interest in their area can often trigger them to look into offering spinal decompression as a service.
