Spinal Decompression Therapy servicing the areas of Norwalk, Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien, CT.
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.

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
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.
