Spinal Decompression in Surrey & Langley

chiropractic tableIf you’ve been putting up with back pain or stiffness or have been told you have a herniated disc, we offer a noninvasive and effective way to get relief. Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy uses a motorized traction table to reduce pressure on the spine by stretching and releasing the spine and separating the joints and bones in the back and the discs.

Anyone who has cervical or lumbar pain can get the therapy. Nonsurgical spinal decompression can also address sciatica or acute or chronic pain or back stiffness, radiating pain in the arms or legs, numbness or tingling, weakness in the arms or other extremities, or headaches.

What to Expect

Your chiropractor will perform an exam and go over your health history. They will determine what’s going on and whether you need the decompression therapy or not. Please allow 45 minutes for this first appointment.

If you are a good candidate for nonsurgical spinal decompression, you will receive your first treatment at this appointment.

Heat can be applied to your spine before starting the lumbar decompression therapy. This helps to warm up your joints and muscles, thus decreasing stiffness in your spine. Then we will have you lie down in a comfortable position on your back. You will be placed in a harness that fits your lumbar spine. As you are lying down the machine will gently pull to open up the spine. It is safe and effective. The therapy is typically given for 15 minutes, and an adjustment to the spine may be applied if needed.

Cervical spinal decompression is given for those with neck pain. With this type of decompression, a harness is placed around the head and a very gentle pull is felt. This type of decompression is helpful for patients with neurological symptoms in their arms or headaches related to any neurological symptom. As is the case with lumbar decompression, each session takes about 15 minutes.
