What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
The discs in your spine act as cushions between your vertebrae, allowing for flexibility and shock absorption. When these discs become compressed or damaged—due to injury, poor posture, or degeneration—they can press on nearby nerves and trigger pain, numbness, or tingling. This often leads to conditions like herniated discs or sciatica, which can significantly disrupt your daily life.
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive technique performed at Health in Balance using a specialized traction table that gently stretches and relaxes the spine in controlled cycles.
This process reduces the negative pressure within the affected area, drawing nutrients, oxygen, and hydration back in. Over time, it supports the recovery of injured tissue and helps reduce nerve compression—without relying on medication or surgery.
Don’t let spinal pain continue to limit your life. Connect with our team at Health in Balance, and take the first step toward natural recovery.
Conditions Spinal Decompression Therapy Can Help Treat
Many patients come to Health in Balance seeking relief from chronic discomfort. Spinal decompression therapy is often a key part of their healing journey.
If you are dealing with any of the following conditions, this non‒invasive treatment may help you feel like yourself again:
Herniated Discs
When spinal discs bulge out of place, they can compress nearby nerves and cause sharp or radiating pain. Spinal decompression sessions help reduce inflammation and discomfort.
Degenerative Disc Disease
As discs lose hydration and flexibility with age or injury, this treatment helps restore fluid and nutrient flow, easing stiffness and promoting resilience.
Sciatica
This condition causes pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from the lower back down one or both legs. Spinal decompression helps ease these symptoms by reducing the pressure on the sciatic nerve, allowing for greater comfort and mobility.
