Spinal Decompression at Freedom Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI

At Freedom Chiropractic in Grand Rapids, MI, we are dedicated to helping our patients find effective, non-invasive solutions to alleviate chronic back pain and discomfort. One of the advanced treatments we offer is spinal decompression therapy, designed to address a variety of conditions related to the spine.

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure from spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the vertebrae. This method creates negative pressure within the discs, promoting the retraction or repositioning of bulging or herniated discs. This also encourages the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, enhancing the bodies natural healing process.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is particularly effective for a range of conditions, including:

Herniated or Bulging Discs: The therapy helps reposition discs that have slipped out of place, reducing nerve compression and pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease: By reducing pressure on affected discs, spinal decompression can provide relief from pain associated with disc degeneration.
Sciatica: This therapy can alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing leg pain, numbness, or tingling.
Facet Syndrome: Spinal decompression can help address pain stemming from the small joints at the back of each vertebra, known as facet joints.
Chronic Back or Neck Pain: Many patients with long-standing discomfort find significant relief through this therapy.

How Spinal Decompression Works

During spinal decompression therapy, the patient is comfortably secured to a specialized table while a computer-controlled system gently stretches and relaxes the spine in a controlled manner. This targeted traction creates space between the vertebrae, allowing discs to reposition and relieve pressure on nerves.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Non-Invasive: Unlike surgery, spinal decompression is a gentle, non-invasive approach to treating back pain.
No Recovery Time: Because it is non-surgical, there’s no extended recovery period, and patients can resume daily activities quickly.
Pain Relief: Many patients experience relief after just a few sessions, especially for conditions like sciatica, disc herniation, and chronic back pain.
Improved Mobility: By relieving pressure on the spine, patients often notice an improvement in their range of motion and overall spinal health.

What to Expect During Treatment

Each spinal decompression session typically lasts between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated. Most patients undergo a series of sessions over several weeks, as recommended by the chiropractor based on their individual needs. The process is painless, and many patients report feeling relaxed during the procedure.
