Spinal Decompression

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Can Help You

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. This helps increase the space between vertebrae, allowing herniated or bulging discs to retract, reducing nerve irritation and pain. At Core Health Darien, spinal decompression therapy is used to naturally relieve chronic back and neck pain, improve mobility, and support long-term spinal health.

What is Spinal Decompression

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy uses a specialized table or device to apply gentle traction forces that stretch the spine. This controlled stretching creates negative pressure within spinal discs, encouraging herniated or bulging discs to retract and reducing nerve compression. The process supports improved blood flow and nutrient exchange for natural tissue repair.

Unlike surgery, spinal decompression is painless, non-invasive.

Our Spinal Decompression Therapy Process

Four Step Approach to Healing

Initial Consultation

Our certified practitioners thoroughly evaluate your spinal health, medical history, and symptoms to determine if decompression therapy is right for your condition.

Treatment Plan Design

We develop a personalized protocol that includes treatment duration, frequency, and specific spinal regions targeted to maximize healing.

Therapy Sessions

During therapy, you lie comfortably on a motorized decompression table that gently stretches your spine with precise control. Each session lasts about 30–45 minutes and is painless.

Post-Treatment Care

We provide customized aftercare instructions including exercises and lifestyle tips to maintain spinal health. Follow-up sessions and evaluations ensure your progress and long-term relief.

What to Expect During a Session

You'll experience complete comfort during treatment – most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warming feeling or no sensation at all. Many clients find the sessions so relaxing they fall asleep during treatment.

Each session typically lasts between 10-30 minutes depending on the treatment area and condition severity. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment with no recovery time required.

Most patients begin noticing improvements within the first few sessions, with significant results typically occurring within 2-4 weeks. The healing process continues even after treatment ends, with many experiencing lasting relief.

Spinal Decompression Helps Stop Back Pain

How Spinal Decompression Helps Stop Back Pain

Back pain often results from compressed discs irritating spinal nerves. Spinal decompression therapy gently relieves this pressure and restores proper spacing between vertebrae, allowing discs to heal and nerves to decompress. Patients typically experience less pain, improved posture, and increased flexibility after several treatments.

How Spinal Decompression Helps With Neck Pain

Neck pain caused by disc issues or pinched nerves responds well to decompression therapy by easing nerve pressure and restoring spinal alignment. This helps reduce stiffness, radiating arm pain, and headaches linked to cervical spinal problems.

Spinal Decompression for Sciatica & Nerve Pain in Darien

Sciatica pain emanates from nerve compression in the lower back. Spinal decompression stimulates healing of affected discs and soft tissues, easing nerve irritation and providing relief from sharp, shooting leg pain.

Spinal Decompression Therapy for Herniated and Bulging Discs

When a spinal disc becomes herniated or bulges out of place, it can compress nearby nerves and create significant pain, numbness, or tingling in the back and extremities. Spinal decompression therapy uses gentle, controlled traction to relieve this pressure, allowing the disc to retract and take pressure off the nerves. This approach not only eases discomfort but also helps improve mobility and promote natural healing of spinal structures. Patients often report noticeable pain relief and greater flexibility after a series of decompression sessions.

Spinal Decompression for Sciatica and Chronic Back Pain in Darien

Sciatica and chronic back pain frequently occur when nerve roots in the lower back are compressed or irritated. With spinal decompression therapy, targeted mechanical stretching opens up the spaces between vertebrae, reducing nerve compression and enhancing blood flow to injured tissues. This gentle technique helps decrease inflammation, relieve radiating leg pain, and support tissue recovery—helping patients return to normal daily activities with less discomfort and more confidence in their spinal health.

Spinal Decompression Therapy FAQs

How Long Does The Spinal Decompression Therapy Take?

When it comes to spinal decompression therapy, one of the most common questions is how long it takes. It's an important factor to consider when looking into this type of treatment, so let's take a look at what you can expect.

Generally speaking, the length of time for spinal decompression therapy depends on several factors, including the severity and type of condition being treated. For some people with mild to moderate back pain, a single session may be enough for relief. However, for more severe conditions or chronic issues, multiple sessions over several weeks may be necessary in order to achieve lasting results.

The actual length of each session also varies depending on your individual circumstances and needs. Typically these sessions last between 20-30 minutes and are done on consecutive days throughout the course of treatment. During each session your doctor or physical therapist will adjust the settings and intensity based on how your body is responding to the treatment. This helps ensure that your therapy is tailored specifically for you and that you're getting maximum benefit from it.

No matter what kind of condition you're dealing with, make sure to follow your doctor's advice regarding spinal decompression therapy to ensure that you get the best possible outcome from it.
