What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a treatment used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. It can be performed surgically or non-surgically, depending on the condition’s severity.

✔️ Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
✔️ Sciatica or pinched nerves
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Facet joint syndrome
✔️ Chronic back or neck pain

🛠️ Types of Spinal Decompression

1. ✔️ Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

✔️ Performed using a special traction table
✔️ Gently stretches the spine to reduce disc pressure
✔️ Improves blood and nutrient flow to the spine
✔️ Often used for chronic lower back or neck pain
✔️ Safe, painless, and done over several sessions

2. ✔️ Surgical Spinal Decompression (For Severe Cases)

🔹 Laminectomy

✔️ Removes part of the vertebral bone (lamina) to relieve pressure
✔️ Commonly used in spinal stenosis

🔹 Discectomy

✔️ Removes a portion of a herniated disc that presses on a nerve

🔹 Foraminotomy

✔️ Enlarges the opening where nerves exit the spine
