Spinal Decompression in West Covina CA

Spinal decompression therapy in West Covina CA is a non-invasive treatment aimed at relieving back and neck pain caused by disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, or other spinal conditions. By gently stretching the spine, spinal decompression creates negative pressure within the discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract, which can alleviate pressure on nerves and promote the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs for healing. Benefits may include pain relief, improved mobility, reduced need for surgery, and enhanced overall spinal health.

Understanding Spinal Decompression in West Covina CA

This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.

How Long Does the Treatment 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.
