Traction/Decompression

Effective Pain Relief with Traction/Spinal Decompression Therapy

Traction and spinal decompression therapy are highly effective treatments for relieving pressure on the spine and alleviating pain in Colorado. At our practice, we offer state-of-the-art decompression therapy designed to treat a variety of spinal conditions, including herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

Spinal decompression therapy involves gently stretching the spine to change its force and position. This process creates negative pressure within the disc, which helps to retract herniated or bulging discs, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. By doing so, it promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, which helps them heal.

Spinal Decompression Treatment Explained

Traction therapy, a form of decompression, uses mechanical or manual means to stretch the spine and alleviate compression. This treatment is particularly beneficial for conditions such as spinal stenosis, facet joint syndrome, and chronic lower back pain. Traction helps to elongate the spine, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility.

One of the primary benefits of spinal decompression therapy is its ability to provide long-term relief without the need for surgery. Many patients experience significant pain reduction and improved function after just a few sessions. This makes it an excellent option for individuals looking for a non-invasive solution to their spinal issues.

During a spinal decompression session at Foothills Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, you will lie comfortably on a specialized table while our therapist carefully adjusts the traction force. The therapy is painless and typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients require a series of treatments over several weeks to achieve optimal results.

In addition to spinal decompression therapy, we often combine other treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and personalized exercise programs to enhance the overall effectiveness of the treatment. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that we address all aspects of your condition and provide comprehensive care.
