Spinal Decompression in Anderson

What is Spinal Decompression?

Dr Bland with patient on decompression table Spinal decompression therapy at ChirAlign Health & Wellness offers an effective, non-surgical solution for patients suffering from disc-related conditions. This advanced treatment uses a specialized computer-controlled table to gently stretch and relax the spine in a precisely controlled manner. The process creates a vacuum-like effect that helps retract herniated or bulging disc material and promotes healing by increasing nutrient and water flow to injured discs.

Unlike surgery, spinal decompression therapy is non-invasive and typically painless, with most patients reporting the treatment feels like a gentle stretch. The therapy’s pumping action alternates between carefully calibrated pulling and relaxing phases, which is significantly more effective than constant traction. This specialized approach allows Dr. Bland to target specific vertebral segments where disc injuries have occurred.

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?

Patients experiencing numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness in their arms or legs may be excellent candidates for spinal decompression therapy. These symptoms often indicate nerve irritation from a disc bulge or herniation that’s pressing on spinal nerves. The therapy is particularly beneficial for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or those who haven’t responded well to conventional treatments.

Dr. Bland recommends spinal decompression for various conditions, including herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and certain nerve compression syndromes. During your consultation at our office, Dr. Bland will conduct a thorough evaluation, including reviewing any existing MRI results, to determine if this therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.

The Spinal Decompression Experience

During your spinal decompression session at ChirAlign Health & Wellness, you’ll lie comfortably on our specialized treatment table. Depending on the area being treated, Dr. Bland will secure supportive harnesses around your pelvis or upper body to ensure proper positioning and optimal results. The computerized system then administers gentle pulling forces alternated with relaxation phases to create the therapeutic pumping action.

Initial sessions typically last about 10 minutes, gradually increasing to 30 minutes as your comfort level improves. Most patients find the experience relaxing, with many reporting they can feel a gentle stretching sensation without pain. The table’s precision allows Dr. Bland to adjust the treatment intensity to match your comfort level while still delivering effective therapeutic benefits.

Care Plans and Expected Results

Most patients require approximately one month of spinal decompression therapy, though individual treatment plans vary based on your specific condition and response to care. Typically, you’ll begin seeing significant improvement after three to four weeks of consistent treatment. Dr. Bland closely monitors your progress and adjusts your treatment protocol as needed to maximize results.

Spinal decompression therapy at ChirAlign Health & Wellness carries an additional fee beyond standard chiropractic adjustments, reflecting the specialized equipment and extended treatment time required.
