Spinal Decompression Therapy in Weatherford
How Does the Therapy Work?
The discs are fluid-filled “shock absorbers” that sit between the vertebrae of your spine. Accidents, injuries, and even the force of gravity can cause the discs to become compressed.
When this happens, the fluid can bulge—imagine squeezing a water balloon—and this bulge can press on nearby nerves, resulting in pain and other symptoms.
Decompression works by removing pressure from the discs, allowing them to return to their normal shape, and pumping nutrient-rich fluids into the area to promote healing.”
What to Expect
Based on your examination and X-rays, we’ll let you know if we believe this therapy can benefit you. If we incorporate it into your overall care plan, you will receive therapy before or after your chiropractic adjustments—purely based on your preference.
You’ll lie on our cutting-edge decompression table, and we’ll place straps to keep you positioned properly. Then we’ll program the table with the appropriate amount of tension for you. The table will gently stretch your spine and then release, repeating this motion for about 15 minutes. It’s painless, and many patients find it relaxing and soothing.
Some people experience noticeable relief after just one session, but full relief typically takes a series of sessions. Decompression may be included in long-term maintenance care for patients with significant disc injuries.
