At SOHMA Integrative Medicine in Long Beach, CA, we offer non-surgical spinal decompression treatments for our patients who are experiencing lower back pain or neck pain. This type of therapy stretches your spine using spinal traction. A specialized decompression table is used to take pressure off of your disks and spine. It repositions your vertebrae specifically, and naturally, often bringing healing, lengthening, or other positive effects to the area. Most often, people with radiating nerve pain that travels down their arms or legs benefit the most from this type of non-surgical treatment.
We are finding that non-surgical spinal decompression is effective for bringing relief to patients with a wide variety of back and neck issues. In general, the decompressive pressure from the table causes your discs protrusions ro disc bulges to retract, taking pressure off of nearby nerves and encouraging the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the area to promote healing.
As a result, types of back or neck pain, such as sciatica, can be helped with spinal decompression therapy. Other conditions that might be helped include
