Spinal Decompression Therapy at Leigh Brain & Spine
At Leigh Brain & Spine, we offer advanced non-surgical spinal decompression therapy using state-of-the-art DRX-9000 technology to relieve chronic back pain, neck pain, and disc-related conditions.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Our FDA-cleared DRX-9000 system provides precise, computer-controlled traction forces.
The therapy creates negative pressure within spinal discs, allowing them to retract and reposition naturally. This process helps draw in oxygen, water, and nutrients essential for healing.
Each session takes 20-45 minutes and patients often report feeling relaxed during treatment. Most treatment plans include 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks.
How Spinal Decompression Works
The DRX-9000 system uses sensors to deliver specific amounts of decompressive force to targeted areas of the spine. This creates space between vertebrae, reducing pressure on nerves and discs.
During treatment, patients lie comfortably on the treatment table while the system alternates between periods of gentle stretch and relaxation. This cycling helps promote the movement of fluids and nutrients.
The computer monitors patient response 13 times per second and automatically adjusts the treatment forces for optimal results and comfort.
Conditions Treated by Spinal Decompression
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Chronic neck pain
- Lower back pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Facet syndrome
Many patients experience significant pain relief within the first few sessions. The therapy addresses both acute and chronic conditions affecting the cervical and lumbar spine.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Spinal decompression works best for patients who:
- Experience chronic back or neck pain
- Have confirmed disc-related conditions
- Haven’t found relief through conservative treatments
- Want to avoid surgery
- Are in generally good health
Not everyone qualifies for treatment. We carefully screen patients with conditions like osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or advanced arthritis that might affect safety.
We perform thorough evaluations, including reviewing imaging studies and medical history, to determine if spinal decompression is the right choice.
Benefits and Unique Advantages
Professional spinal decompression therapy offers a proven path to relief from chronic pain while promoting natural healing and improving long-term spinal health.
Non-Surgical Back and Neck Pain Relief
Spinal decompression creates negative pressure within the discs, allowing herniated or bulging material to retract naturally. This gentle, controlled traction helps reduce pressure on compressed nerves and promotes healing.
We achieve significant pain reduction for patients suffering from herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease through our precise computerized decompression system.
Our treatment protocols are designed to address both acute and chronic pain conditions without the risks associated with surgery or invasive procedures.
Improved Mobility and Recovery
Many patients experience enhanced range of motion after their first few sessions. The reduction in nerve compression and disc pressure allows for more natural movement patterns.
We focus on restoring proper spinal function through targeted decompression, which helps speed up the natural healing process.
Our patients often report increased ability to perform daily activities and return to their favorite hobbies sooner than expected.
Reduced Dependence on Pain Medication
Spinal decompression addresses the root cause of pain rather than merely masking symptoms. This approach frequently leads to decreased reliance on pain medications.
We help patients achieve lasting relief through natural healing processes stimulated by decompression therapy.
Our treatment plans aim to reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing pain management medications.
