Frequently Asked Questions
How does non-surgical spinal decompression work?
Non-surgical spinal decompression uses a controlled traction-based approach designed to reduce pressure on affected spinal structures in some cases. The goal is to create a better mechanical environment for patients whose symptoms appear to be related to discs or nerve irritation.
Who may be a good candidate for spinal decompression?
Some patients with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, or radiating arm or leg pain may be good candidates for decompression. The first step is always an evaluation to determine whether your symptoms fit that pattern and whether decompression makes sense for you.
Can spinal decompression help a herniated disc, bulging disc, or pinched nerve?
It may help some patients when those symptoms are truly related to disc pressure or nerve irritation. Premier Chiropractic does not recommend decompression automatically; we recommend it only when the exam suggests it may be a reasonable part of your treatment plan.
What does a decompression care plan usually include?
A decompression care plan may include more than decompression alone. Depending on your condition, it may be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and other supportive therapies to improve movement and help you function better over time.
