Spinal Decompression Therapy
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive procedure that treats back and neck pain that comes from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. Thanks to the advanced decompression methods utilized at Pro-Active Physiotherapy Clinic, you and your patients can regain your active freedom and smile. At the same time, quality of life problems take a back seat.
How Spinal Decompression Works
It is achieved by employing a particular traction table or a motorized unit that softly pulls and stretches the spine. As a result, pressure is removed from the human spinal discs and nerves. In this way, oxygen, water, and nutrients are delivered, and physiology aids natural healing. As the spine is decompressed, the pain is diagnosed as being caused by this framework.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
A more detailed guide: Spinal Decompression alleviates pressure from pinched nerves and spinal discs, allowing patients to experience relief from pain again.
Increased Mobility: It promotes flexibility and increases the range of movement.

Faster Recovery: The body heals naturally, resulting in long-term pain relief.
Customized Treatment Protocols: Patients complete individual polymorphic sections.
What to Expect During Treatment
Another segment that can be obtained under Spinal Decompression Therapy is being comfortably laid on a specially adapted table. Whichever portion requires treatment, a harness is placed around the pelvis or the neck. A computer operates the table to create a gentle, recurrent pull and release to the spine. This will provide controlled distraction and slight relaxation to the affected spinal segment.
Each session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Depending on the case and the patient’s reaction, several treatments may be needed. Your specific needs will necessitate treatment plans developed by our physiotherapists.
