Understanding Spinal Decompression in Monterey CA

Spinal decompression is one of the most effective forms of chiropractic care. It can be used to address back pain resulting from pinched tissues, such as sciatica. This form of care is one of the most popular at our office because it can provide lasting relief while improving your overall health and well-being.

This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

Specialized machinery and tables are used to steadily and gently apply force to the spine in opposite directions. The force will slowly stretch out the spine, which can relieve pressure on the discs and help ensure good alignment of the vertebrae. This will prevent injured discs from impinging nerve roots and loosen tight muscles.

Advanced computer programs can be used to better understand a patient’s condition. The software can also be used to control the spinal decompression machines. Dr. Rector and Dr. Ferrante at the Monterey Chiropractic Group can perform spinal decompression in Monterey, CA, using the latest technology.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reducing the probability of recurrence.

Spinal decompression is one of the most effective forms of chiropractic care. That said, it’s far from the only form. You can work with chiropractors to devise a multi-pronged approach to back pain relief. Spinal decompression may be a big part of your treatment plan, but you’ll have ways of complementing it.

Massage therapy, hands-on chiropractic adjustments, and therapeutic stretches and exercises can be used to address issues with not just the back, but also the neck, limbs, and more. The right chiropractic treatments may even reduce headaches. Best of all, patients won’t need to rely on expensive and potentially addictive pain medications.
