If you’ve been struggling with persistent neck or back pain, tingling in the arms or legs, or muscle weakness, you may be dealing with a pinched nerve in the spine. At Elliott Chiropractic, we offer a safe, non-invasive treatment called non-surgical spinal decompression that can provide effective, lasting relief—without the risks of surgery or medication.
What Is a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues—such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or inflamed muscles—compress a spinal nerve. This pressure disrupts the nerve’s function, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness along the nerve’s path.
Pinched nerves are commonly caused by:
● Herniated or bulging discs
● Degenerative disc disease
● Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
● Sciatica
● Poor posture or spinal alignment issues
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine using a specialized traction table controlled by advanced computer technology. This slow, controlled movement creates negative pressure within the spinal discs—essentially “vacuuming” the disc material back into place and relieving pressure on nearby nerves.
Here’s how it helps:
1. Relieves Pressure on Nerves
Decompression reduces the pressure on pinched or compressed nerves, allowing them to heal and function properly again.
2. Promotes Nutrient and Oxygen Flow
The negative pressure created during treatment improves circulation to the affected discs, bringing in nutrients and oxygen that aid the body’s natural healing process.
3. Reduces Inflammation and Pain
As pressure decreases and circulation improves, inflammation around the nerve root subsides—leading to reduced pain and better mobility.
4. Restores Spinal Alignment and Flexibility
Over time, decompression therapy can help restore the spine’s natural alignment and improve flexibility, reducing the risk of future flare-ups.
What to Expect During Treatment
At Elliott Chiropractic, we tailor your spinal decompression sessions to your specific condition and comfort level. Each session lasts about 20–30 minutes. Patients typically require a series of treatments over several weeks for the best results.
Most patients describe the experience as relaxing—some even fall asleep during treatment! There’s no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities right away.
