Motorized non-surgical decompression helps relieve pain, removes pressure on the nerves, promotes healing, and increases blood flow to the spine. Spinal discs cannot attain nutrients from the blood without circulation. Decompression opens the spine, flooding the discs with nutrients that result in quicker and optimal healing. This, combined with manual chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage, can help get an individual to a pain-free lifestyle.

Spinal Discs

The soft disc material that separates each spinal bone can lose hydration, causing the material to dry out and compress. The discs can also compress from pressure from added weight, trauma from an automobile accident, work, school, and sports injury. Often the soft gel center of the discs spills out, causing a disc herniation. This is usually accompanied by:

• Numbness
• Tingling
• Soreness
• Stiffness
• Sharp pain
• Dull pain
• Achiness
• Muscle Weakness
• Stinging/Burning sensation
• Leg pain
• Poor balance

These are often indicators of a nerve or nerve bundle, including the sciatic nerve becoming compressed by a herniated disc, bulging disc or slipped disc, stenosis, facet syndrome, or degenerative disc disease. When this happens, the symptoms may be felt in the back or neck area, and/or they may spread out into the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

Motorized Decompression

Spinal decompression is relaxing and helps maintain range of motion throughout the body. The benefits of motorized decompression include:

• Relaxation
• Increased energy
• Pain relief
• Stress relief
• Headache relief
• Improved posture
• Improved range of motion
• Improved circulation
• Improved sleep

We focus on providing expert chiropractic treatment that incorporates the most current research and technology into personalized treatment plans. Our goal is to help the individual heal as quickly as possible while educating and training them to use tools to maintain health and wellness.
