Spinal Decompression from Our Chiropractor in London, ON

If you've been suffering from lower back or neck pain that doesn't seem to go away on its own, it might be time to consider other treatment options, such as spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is a type of chiropractic treatment that can help alleviate pain that stems from issues with the spine. This includes sciatica, herniated discs, and bulging discs, numbness and tingling in the hands, and more. Suffering with these conditions can make it difficult to complete daily activities. Worst of all, back pain is one of the many causes of disability in Canada, showing just how important it is to treat it, and how difficult it can be.

At Corrective Chiropractic, we're here to help our clients in London, ON, get the help they need to feel relief from back pain. We want to help our clients feel their best by using high-quality care from our chiropractor, including spinal decompression.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a type of chiropractic care technique that involves laying a patient down on a specialized decompression table. This table is designed to gently stretch the spine. This allows discs in between the vertebrae to pull the fluid (and nutrients) back into the discs, decreasing the “buldge”.

This helps take pressure off surrounding compressed nerves and muscles. In addition, spinal decompression can also help alleviate pain due to sciatica, a condition in which the sciatic nerve is compressed and causes pain that radiates down the leg.

During spinal decompression, a person lays face down or up, and a chiropractor uses a special computer to determine how much tension for the machine to use to gap, or pull apart the person's vertebrae.

How Does a Chiropractor Use Spinal Decompression?

Only a trained chiropractor can perform spinal decompression safely. After spinal decompression, your chiropractor will examine how effective the treatment was, if any changes need to be made in the duration of the treatment, and if it should be combined with other types of chiropractic care.

This can include chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and improve posture and balance. When combined with other treatments, spinal decompression can be highly effective at treating pain due to herniated discs, bulging discs, and sciatica.
