Spinal Decompression in Fort Worth TX
Are you looking for spinal decompression in Fort Worth TX? You don't have to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back pain, a pinched nerve, sciatica, radiating pain into the arms or legs, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, and post-operative complications, as well as syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine. Spinal Decompression may be for you.
Understanding Spinal Decompression in Fort Worth TX
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.
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 reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, gentle therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and discs. It helps with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back pain by gently stretching the spine, promoting healing and pain relief.
Spinal decompression therapy involves lying on a specialized table while a computerized system applies gentle traction. This process:
- Creates negative pressure in the discs to reduce herniation and bulging
- Increases oxygen, water, and nutrient flow to promote healing
- Relieves pressure on nerves and spinal structures
Spinal decompression is effective for:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (nerve pain down the legs)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet syndrome
No, spinal decompression is gentle and comfortable. Many patients feel a mild stretching sensation and deep relaxation during treatment. Some experience slight soreness afterward, similar to post-workout soreness.
Each session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. The total number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition, but most patients undergo multiple sessions over several weeks for optimal results.
Many patients notice improvement within a few sessions, but full benefits typically develop over the course of treatment. Individual results vary based on the condition being treated.
Insurance coverage varies. Some policies cover spinal decompression if it is medically necessary. We can help verify your benefits and discuss affordable payment options if needed.
While both treatments involve spinal stretching, spinal decompression uses advanced technology to apply controlled, targeted forces, creating negative pressure in the discs. Traditional traction does not achieve this same effect.
Good candidates include those with chronic back or neck pain, herniated discs, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease.
- Pregnant women
- Patients with severe osteoporosis
- Those with spinal fractures, tumors, or infections
We offer a free consultation to determine if spinal decompression is right for you.
For many patients, yes! Spinal decompression can provide relief without the risks of surgery. If you are considering surgery for a herniated disc or chronic pain, decompression therapy may be a safer, non-invasive alternative.
