Decompression relieves pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves.  The task of relieving pain comes about as a result of drawing areas of bulging or herniated disc back in place.  It also helps draw fluids, nutrients and blood supply back into the disc, "feeding" the disc and reversing the disc bulge, herniation or degeneration process.

Decompression achieves this by creating negative pressure within the disc.  This essentially creates a vacuum to draw the bulging and herniated disc material back into the disc space and relieve pressure.

As the ligaments and soft tissue that hold disc material in place become stretched or torn due to bulging and herniation, decompression strengthens the ligament bands that hold the disc material in place to heal and prevent future recurrence.

Most of the time, the healing process requires only a few weeks of treatment.  We have committed to undergo expert training in the delivery of decompression and dedicate our practice to the relief of severe and chronic low back and neck pain.  Patients come to us to return to a normal pain free life.
