Spinal Decompression in Burlington, NJ
Spinal decompression at Burlington Chiropractic is a gentle, non-surgical therapy that stretches the spine on a specialized traction table to relieve back pain, neck pain, and radiating arm or leg pain. Our doctors in Burlington, NJ use decompression to create an optimal healing environment for bulging, herniated, and degenerated discs, helping many patients find relief without injections or surgery.
How the Treatment Feels
During each session, the table gently stretches and relaxes your spine in a controlled, intermittent rhythm. Most patients find decompression comfortable and relaxing, and many say it is one of the most soothing parts of their care. Our calm office atmosphere helps you rest while your body begins to heal.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression offers two key benefits. First, the gentle stretching creates negative pressure inside the disc. This negative intradiscal pressure helps draw bulging or herniated disc material back toward its proper position and away from irritated nerves. Second, the lower pressure encourages an influx of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the disc, which supports the natural healing process.
Conditions Spinal Decompression May Help
Decompression therapy may benefit patients with:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Pinched nerves
- Chronic low back pain and neck pain
- Spinal stenosis and facet joint pain
Cervical and Lumbar Decompression
We offer decompression for both the neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar). Cervical decompression may help with neck pain, arm pain, numbness, and tingling caused by disc problems in the neck. Lumbar decompression targets low back pain and sciatica caused by disc issues in the lower spine.
A Complete Approach to Disc Healing
We never just mask the pain. Our goal is to get to the bottom of your spinal problem so it does not keep coming back. Decompression is often combined with chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release to relax surrounding muscles, physiotherapy, and corrective exercises that strengthen the muscles supporting your spine. Before starting, every patient receives our 5 Phase Bio-Structural Evaluation so we can confirm decompression is right for you.
