Spinal Decompression Brooklyn, NY

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a type of adjustment that may help relieve your back pain. During your treatment, Dr. Donovan will stretch your spine. The gentle stretch changes the position of your spine. It takes the pressure off the gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine. This is the reason spinal decompression is highly recommended if you have bulging or herniated discs. By taking the pressure off nerves, it promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs for healing.

How Does Spinal Decompression in Brooklyn, NY Work?

During your spinal decompression session at Nuro Chiropractic Clinic in Brooklyn, NY, you will be fully clothed. Dr. Donovan will attach a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You can face down or up on a table controlled by a computer. Your treatment can last between 30 and 45 minutes. The goal per session is to create negative pressure within the discs. It helps reposition your bulging or herniated discs. Because of how it works, you may experience significant pain relief. Your mobility will also be greatly improved after just a few sessions. This therapy is also useful in increasing blood circulation, especially to the affected area. Improved circulation can help hasten your healing process. It also helps in reducing inflammation while promoting tissue repair.
