Graves Family Chiropractic uses spinal decompression in Frisco TX to relieve low back pain, sciatica, leg pain, neck pain, arm pain and headaches caused from bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerated discs, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis and failed back surgeries. Even if you have tried medication, injections, physical therapy or surgery with no results, Spinal Decompression can work for you! With a success rate of over 80%, Spinal Decompression has provided relief for thousands of our patients by gently reducing pressure within herniated discs, allowing these discs to heal. The result is rapid, long-lasting relief from painful herniated and degenerated discs.

Understanding Spinal Decompression in Frisco TX

Spinal Decompression works by gently stretching your spine, taking pressure off the disc spaces between the vertebrae. This creates a negative pressure inside the disc. Over time, this vacuum effect pulls the disc bulge or herniation back into the center of the disc and off the irritated nerve root. By decreasing the size of the disc bulge and taking pressure off the nerve root, it drastically reduces or eliminates your pain and discomfort. Spinal Decompression increases vital circulation to degenerated and herniated discs by creating a pumping action inside the disc. This pumping action pumps waste out and nutrition into the disc. These nutrients enable the bulged and degenerated disc fibers to begin to heal. Spinal Decompression is different than traction because it prevents reflexive muscle spasms and guarding. Decompression achieves this by slowly ramping up the strength with which it pulls. This allows for true Spinal Decompression and keeps your spine completely relaxed during the treatment. It feels so good that most patients fall asleep during the treatment. Our patients say it feels like all the pressure in their spine is being released with an immediate improvement in their neck, back, leg and arm pain. Decompression is painless and relaxing.

How Long Does Spinal Decompression Take?

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
