Many patients choose to try chiropractic care for the first time because of chronic back pain. If you’re looking for relief from sciatica, neck pain, or lower back pain, then your chiropractor in Fort Wayne may recommend decompression therapy as part of your treatment .

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical technology for treating pain related to the back. It is a method that uses gentle techniques and a specialized table or chair to stretch the spine. This type of traction therapy is designed to create negative pressure and allow the repositioning of a bulging or herniated disc that is the cause of the patient’s discomfort. Also, the lower pressure can allow an influx of nutrients to damaged areas of the back to promote their health and healing.

Because spinal decompression therapy does not require invasive techniques or downtime, it is an ideal treatment option for many people with back pain and who wish to avoid surgery.
