Spinal Decompression
BACK PAIN RELIEF AT IT'S BEST
Spinal Decompression at Physio Pros Oakville and Bolton
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapy designed to relieve back pain and promote healing by gently stretching the spine. This targeted treatment reduces pressure on spinal discs, facilitating the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the affected areas.
 Ideal for those suffering from herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic lower back pain, spinal decompression offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery, aiming to restore spinal health and improve overall quality of life.
What Conditions Are Treated with Spinal Decompression?
Spinal Decompression is highly effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Sciatica
- Disc Herniation or Bulges
- Spinal Stenosis
- Spinal Arthritis
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Nerve Pain
Sciatica: Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down through your hips, buttocks, and legs, often caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
Disc Herniation or Bulges: Disc herniation or bulges occur when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Spinal Arthritis: Spinal arthritis is a condition where the cartilage between the joints in the spine wears down, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and chronic pain, particularly in the lower back or neck.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative disc disease involves the gradual breakdown of the spinal discs, which can lead to pain, reduced flexibility, and discomfort, particularly during movement or standing for long periods.
Nerve Pain: Nerve pain, or neuropathic pain, is caused by damage or dysfunction in the nerves, often resulting in sharp, shooting, or burning sensations that can be chronic and challenging to manage.
What to Expect During Spinal Decompression Treatment?
During spinal decompression treatment, you can expect a comfortable and gentle experience designed to relieve pressure on your spine. The session typically begins with you lying on a specialized table, where customized settings are applied based on your individual needs, such as body weight, age, and pain intensity.
 The treatment involves a controlled stretching motion that helps alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, promoting healing and reducing pain. Each session is carefully monitored by a trained professional to ensure your comfort and safety, and the entire process is non-invasive, allowing you to relax throughout the treatment.
