Spinal Decompression

The full medical term of the procedure is Spinal Flexion Distraction Decompression but we call it “Spinal Decompression” for short. Spinal Decompression therapy at Health by Hamdon is a non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate chronic back pain and improve your spinal health.

This is a well researched and documented spinal adjustment that helps relieve spinal pain and return patients to their desired quality of life by:

  • Dropping intradiscal pressure as -192mm Hg
  • Widening the spinal canal foramina area by 28%
  • Reducing pressure on the spinal nerves
  • Returning motion to the spinal joints

The treatment involves gentle, controlled stretching of the spine, which helps circulation, promotes natural healing, and reduces inflammation. This approach benefits people who haven’t found relief through traditional methods or are looking to avoid surgical interventions. By targeting the underlying causes of spinal discomfort, Spinal Decompression can provide long-lasting relief and support the overall health of your spine. Many patients report improvements in their mobility, pain levels, and quality of life following the Spinal Decompression therapy.

Is Spinal decompression covered by my insurance?

Yes, if you have Chiropractic coverage under your extended health plan, then the Spinal Decompression can be billed under your Chiropractic coverage.

How many Spinal Decompression treatments will I need to feel better?

Depending on the patient, the number of treatments varies. Generally, you should start to expect to feel improvements within the first three sessions. For many people, a complete course of 12 treatments is typically sufficient to resolve the condition or issue. However, the exact number can depend on the severity of the issue and how your body responds to our therapy. It is important to follow the recommended treatment plan for the best results.

Will I feel pain during the treatment?

A painless treatment, spinal decompression is experienced by most as a gentle pull or stretch. Some even feel as though nothing is happening, but rest assured, the treatment is effectively working on your condition. The process is designed to be comfortable and is aimed at relieving pain, not causing it. Always communicate with your practitioner about any discomfort you might feel during the sessions.
