Conditions Responding to Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy

Decompression Therapy can be beneficial for a range of conditions including sciatica, spinal arthritis, herniated discs, failed surgery, bulging discs, degenerative disc, spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, facet syndrome, and even headaches. Dr. Jason Wiese, our chiropractor, specializes in treating these conditions, providing top-level chiropractic care for our patients living in Waterloo.

The Science Behind Spinal Decompression Therapy

Decompression Therapy’s working principle involves easing pain, diminishing spinal inflammation, and restoring spinal movement, while simultaneously addressing the fundamental cause of your discomfort. It instigates negative pressures inside the herniated or bulging disc, facilitating its natural retraction. This alleviates disc pressure on spinal nerves, thereby reducing your pain.

By lessening pressure in the disc, the natural flow of surrounding fluids, nutrients, and oxygen into the disc is reestablished, enhancing disc health. The disc wall can now mend its tears, and the reintroduction of nutrients can reverse disc degeneration and reinstate disc height, relieving pressure on inflamed spinal joints.

How Many Sessions Are Typically Needed?

Decompression Therapy treatments are often described as comfortable and relaxing by numerous patients. To reap the best benefits, we generally recommend a regimen of 20-30 decompression therapy sessions, usually conducted three times a week. However, the precise treatment plan will be adapted to your particular needs, recognizing that every spine is unique.

Other treatment modalities, like Strength and Restoration Therapy, Moist Heat, Stretching and Stability Exercises, Deep Tissue Laser, and Muscle Therapy, along with Chiropractic Specific Adjustments, might be used to curb inflammation, enhance range of motion, decrease pain, accelerate healing, improve balance, and strengthen supporting structures.

Decompression Therapy is Backed by Clinical Research

Spinal Decompression Therapy has well-established effectiveness, as supported by clinical studies. According to research conducted by Gionis et al., 86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy noted immediate symptom relief, and 84% remained pain-free 90 days following treatment. Physical examination findings indicated improvements in 92% of patients, with these improvements enduring in 89% of patients 90 days after treatment. Decompression Therapy has enabled numerous people to avoid spinal surgery and resume their regular active lifestyles.
