Decompression Therapy

Decompression Therapy (DCT): When Chiropractic alone does not relieve chronic low-back, neck, and/or joint pain, Decompression Therapy may be the next step.

Decompression Therapy is a Non-Surgical disc rehabilitation program that gently stretches the spine and decompresses the discs. Often, the pain in your back or neck is due to a bulging or herniated condition of one or more of the discs that act as a sort of shock absorber or cushion in between the vertebrae that make up your spinal column. When your disc(s) bulge, are herniated, or simply wear out, the disc can press or pinch against a sensitive nerve, the result of which can be VERY painful.

Treatment Plan: Dr. Graves will recommend individual or packaged sessions depending upon your condition. Over the course of the session the patient lies comfortably on the decompression table while experiencing the gentle sensation of being stretched. Intervals of stretching and relaxation create a vacuum that allows the disc to receive vital nutrients, and enhances the natural healing process.
