Learn More: Spinal Decompression

Our Indianapolis chiropractor performs spinal decompression to bring back pain relief to patients suffering from sciatica, herniated discs and other conditions affecting the spine.

Spinal decompression stretches and relaxes the spine in a controlled manner, using a traction table or similar motorized device. This type of traction therapy relieves back and neck pain, along with pain radiating into your arms or legs.

Many conditions can cause neck, back and radiating pain. Rubbery discs cushioning the bones of the spine can bulge or herniate to allow their gooey centers to rub against nerves, causing pain. Degenerative disc disease occurs when these discs begin to break down and allow the bones of your spine to grind against one another. Sciatica is a specific type of back pain that radiates down one leg. Facet syndrome causes pain when the joints of your spine become inflamed. Spinal stenosis causes pain when the inside of the spinal column narrows to pinch the nerves it houses.

Chiropractor Describes Spinal Decompression in Indianapolis

Spinal decompression in Indianapolis always starts with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your back pain.

You will lie comfortably on a motorized table for the procedure – you can remain in your own clothes for the treatment. Our chiropractor will place a harness around your hips then attach the harness to a lower table near your feet. The top table remains in place while the bottom table moves to provide traction and relaxation.

You should not feel any pain during the procedure, although you may feel stretching.

  • Herniated or bulging discs
