Spinal Decompression in El Paso TX

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses gentle, controlled traction to stretch specific areas of the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on irritated joints and discs, improve movement, and help relieve certain types of back or neck pain. It may be considered for patients with disc-related problems, sciatica, or other symptoms involving nerve irritation, depending on what we find during the examination.

At Right Way Chiropractic, spinal decompression in El Paso TX is never used as a one-size-fits-all treatment. We first evaluate your symptoms, health history, and exam findings to determine whether it is appropriate for you. When indicated, decompression may be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, or other therapies to support comfort, mobility, and overall function.

Understanding Spinal Decompression in El Paso TX

This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.

How Long Does A Spinal Decompression Session Take?

Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reducing the probability of recurrence.
