What are the actual decompression treatments like?
Decompression therapy involves a gentle stretching of the spine and related tissues under control of specific computer programming. Effects noted after decompression therapy include relieved pressure from painful structures, the stretching of tight soft tissues, the breaking down of adhesions, improved tissue nutrition and healing, and overall pain relief. Our decompression protocol involves pre and post therapies as a part of your treatment. Pre-treatment therapies are designed to relax tight muscles, soften tissues, and increase circulation. Post therapies are designed to minimize the body’s naturally occurring inflammatory response and to speed overall healing. Core strengthening and spinal stabilization exercises are critical for long term recovery and positive long term outcomes and are a recommended as part of treatment.
