Can Spinal Decompression Help Prevent Surgery?

Living with chronic back or neck pain can be exhausting and frustrating, especially when it starts interfering with your everyday activities. For many people, the fear of needing surgery looms large when pain doesn’t improve. Fortunately, there are non-surgical treatment options that can provide real relief and help you avoid the operating room. One such option is spinal decompression, a gentle and innovative therapy offered at Garmone Chiropractic.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and promote healing. It involves the use of a specialized table that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process encourages herniated or bulging discs to retract, relieves pressure on nerves, and enhances blood flow to the affected areas to accelerate healing.

How Spinal Decompression Works

During a spinal decompression session, you’ll be comfortably secured to a specialized decompression table. Using computerized controls, your chiropractor applies precise, gentle traction to targeted areas of the spine. This controlled stretching movement is designed to reduce pressure within the spinal discs, allowing herniated or bulging discs to retract and relieve stress on the surrounding nerves.
 

By creating negative pressure inside the discs, spinal decompression also improves nutrient exchange, which promotes the healing of damaged or degenerated discs. As the pressure on nerves is relieved, symptoms such as pain, numbness, or tingling can begin to subside. Sessions typically last around 30 minutes, and most patients require a series of treatments to achieve the best possible results.
 

Can Spinal Decompression Help You Avoid Surgery?

For many patients, spinal decompression can be an effective alternative to surgery - especially for conditions such as:
 

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Sciatica

• Degenerative disc disease

• Chronic lower back or neck pain

• Spinal stenosis

By addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction, spinal decompression can help many people find long-term relief and restore their quality of life.

The Importance of Early Intervention

The sooner you address your back or neck pain, the more treatment options you have available - and the more likely you are to avoid surgery. Early intervention with spinal decompression and chiropractic care can help manage symptoms, promote healing, and prevent further degeneration.
