What is spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on compressed discs and nerves. This helps improve circulation to the area and supports your body's natural recovery process.

Who should not have spinal decompression therapy?

This treatment isn't recommended for individuals with spinal fractures, advanced osteoporosis, tumors, or certain spinal implants. It's also not advised during pregnancy. A proper evaluation will help determine if it's a safe option for you.

How do I decompress my spine at home?

Some gentle stretches, posture improvements, and low-impact exercises may help relieve spine tension. However, professional spinal decompression sessions are more controlled and precise, offering deeper and longer-lasting results.

Are there any risks associated with spinal decompression?

Most patients tolerate the treatment very well, but some may experience mild soreness or stiffness after initial sessions. Serious complications are rare when care is provided by trained professionals.

Will insurance cover spinal decompression therapy?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. Our team at Health in Balance can assist you in checking your benefits and explaining your options before starting treatment.
