Spinal Decompression

At Vassa Chiropractic & Wellness, Dr. Paul M. Vassa DC utilizes spinal decompression therapy for low back pain or pain management for a bulging or herniated disc. Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical procedure where the spine is stretched and relaxed intermittently in a controlled manner. During the session, the patient will remain clothed and lie on a motorized table, only the lower half is able to move.
The theory of spinal decompression therapy is that this process creates pressure within the disc itself, which is thought to have two potential benefits: pulls the herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc, and promotes the passage of healing nutrients, into the disc and fosters a better healing environment. The patient should never feel never during or after the decompression therapy, although they should feel a stretch in the spine.
