Chronic back pain and its disruptive impact on your life are all too familiar for many. It’s hard to focus on anything else when your back constantly reminds you of its discomfort. While surgery may seem like the answer, there’s a gentler, non-invasive option: back non-surgical decompression therapy. Here at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, we can help you explore if this treatment might be the key to back surgery prevention and a return to pain-free living.

Back Non-Surgical Decompression Therapy: A Gentle Approach to Back Pain Relief

Back non-surgical decompression therapy utilizes motorized traction to achieve a specific goal: relieving your back pain. This therapy works by gently stretching your spine, altering the forces and positions acting on it. This gentle stretch creates a negative pressure within your spinal discs – the gel-like cushions between your vertebrae. This negative pressure helps retract bulging or herniated discs, alleviating pressure on nerves and other spinal structures. This reduction in pressure, in turn, promotes the flow of water, oxygen, and essential nutrients into the discs, aiding their healing process.

Decompression Therapy for Various Back Conditions

Doctors have successfully implemented back non-surgical decompression therapy to treat a range of back conditions, including:

• Back or neck pain, or sciatica (pain, weakness, or tingling radiating down the leg)
• Bulging or herniated discs, or degenerative disc disease
• Worn spinal joints (posterior facet syndrome)
• Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
