Spinal Decompression Therapy (SDT) of the lumbar spine is a modality used to treat acute and chronic back pain. We offer customized treatment protocols to provide quick and effective relief from symptoms such as pinched nerve(s),backaches, numbness or tingling in legs, muscle spasming of back, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar disc dehydration, annular tear(s), disc bulges, and so many other symptoms! SDT works by creating a negative intradiscal pressure to promote retraction or repositioning of the herniated or bulging disc material. It also works gently and slowly to allow spasmed muscle to relax, which facilitates the removal of lactic acid from the overstressed muscle. The gentle stretch allows an influx of healing nutrients and other substances into the discs, while promoting oxygenation to tissues. Most patients report achieving a state of ultimate relaxation by the time the treatment is complete. Depending on the condition, treatment frequency and duration may vary.
