Spinal Decompression at Our Mount Pleasant Location

Many people visit our chiropractor due to back pain caused by pinched nerves or other musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractic care is an appealing option for back pain treatment because it does not involve prescription medication or invasive surgery. At Spine Pain Center, we have been sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with Mount Pleasant, SC residents for many years. Spinal decompression therapy is a method our chiropractor has had much success with.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression is a type of traction therapy that aims to gently stretch the spine. By stretching the spine, our chiropractor can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and reduce pressure in the lower back. You can expect our chiropractor will use a motorized device, like a traction table, to perform spinal decompression.

This treatment is also referred to as nonsurgical decompression therapy. It is safe, painless, and requires no recovery period. It is referred to this way to distinguish itself from surgical spinal decompression, such as microdiscectomy and laminectomy.

What are the Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy?

One of the benefits of spinal decompression is that this treatment is non-invasive. There is no risk of infection, pain, and extensive downtime following the therapy. Other benefits include:

• Restoring the function of bulging or herniated discs by creating a negative intradiscal pressure.
• Causing a healing nutrient influx and other substances into the damaged tissues.
• Improved mobility and overall body function.
• An improvement of the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
