What is Chiropractic Decompression

At Hawkins Chiropractic, we use decompression as a treatment for spinal isssues and back pain. Chiropractic decompression refers to a therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Decompression is often used to treat back pain and other spinal issues.

Decompression Process

The treatment process typically involves a thorough assessment of your condition followed by the use of specialized equipment to gently stretch the spine. Patients usually lie on a decompression table, which applies controlled traction to the spine. This decompression process can alleviate pain and promote healing in conditions such as herniated discs or sciatica.

How Does Decompression Help Heal and Alleviate Pain?

Decompression helps by creating space between the vertebrae, allowing for better circulation and reduced pressure on nerves. Sessions may last 30-45 minutes and are often repeated multiple times a week for optimal results.

We often work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, such as physical therapists or primary care physicians, to ensure a comprehensive approach to treating lower back pain. Whether you choose Hawkins Chiropractic or a different provider, always ensure you are consulting a licensed chiropractor to determine if this treatment is right for your specific condition.
