Spinal Decompression at ChiroSource Madison
Spinal decompression therapy offers a research-driven alternative to surgery for patients suffering from disc herniation or protrusion, spinal stenosis, sciatica, or other cervical or lower back conditions. At ChiroSource Madison, we proudly offer this cutting-edge therapy using the top-of-the-line DOC spinal decompression table. We can’t turn back time—but we can improve your time with this phenomenal tool in our arsenal.
How It Works
The discs are gel-filled shock absorbers between each vertebra of your spine. They can be compressed and damaged in accidents from lifting incorrectly or even due to the force of gravity. When the discs are compressed, they protrude out of their normal position and can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing severe pain.
You’ll lie on the special computerized table with belts to keep you in place. We set the controls for the amount and angle of stretch needed, and then the table moves to gently apply the traction (there are no pulleys or cables). With this table, we can set stretching protocols at the proper tension for your individual issues with no guesswork.
To See Is to Know
We begin with X-rays for every patient to see exactly what’s going on with your spine and what we can and can’t help with. Based on your X-rays and consultation with our chiropractor, we’ll let you know if decompression can help your situation.
Your Comfort Is Paramount
We walk you through the entire process and explain the science behind how this therapy works to alleviate any nervousness you may have. We are here to help, not hurt—so we invested in this state-of-the-art table to ensure your safety and comfort. If you feel unsure, we will stop with no judgment and no pressure.
