Spinal Decompression for Disc and Nerve Pain
A good option when pain travels down a leg or an arm and pressure on the disc is part of the problem.
Spinal decompression at Stewart Clinic of Chiropractic in Casa Grande is a gentle mechanical traction treatment that slowly separates the vertebrae to reduce pressure on a bulging disc and the nerve next to it. You lie on the table fully clothed and most people describe it as a comfortable stretch.
Good candidates
Who it helps
- Disc bulges and herniations in the low back or neck
- Pain that travels into the buttock, leg, or foot
- Numbness or tingling down an arm from a neck disc
- Degenerative disc changes with stiffness and aching
- People who want to try conservative care before considering injections or surgery
What to expect
What a session is like
You lie on the decompression table with a harness across the hips or a padded support at the neck. The table applies and releases traction in a slow cycle.
Sessions usually run about 15 to 20 minutes. Many patients read or close their eyes. There is no downtime after, and you drive yourself home.
The layered approach
Paired with the rest of your care
Decompression takes pressure off. Dry needling settles the muscle spasm that showed up to guard the area. Rehab exercise builds the support that keeps the disc happy.
Dr. Stewart will tell you honestly if decompression is not the right tool for your case.
