Understanding Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression at Harbour Medical Centers is a premier, non-surgical therapy designed to alleviate severe and chronic back pain by gently stretching the spine. This method reduces pressure on compromised discs and nerves, promoting the movement of healing nutrients into the discs.
How Our Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
Utilizing a state-of-the-art traction table, the therapy involves secure and methodical stretching of the spine. This creates a vacuum effect that helps retract bulging or herniated disc material, facilitating significant pain relief.

- Chronic Back Pain: Targets underlying issues causing long-term back discomfort.
- Sciatica: Reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve caused by pinched nerves in the back.
- Herniated Discs: Helps return herniated material to a normal position within the discs.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Promotes disc hydration to combat disc thinning or degeneration.
- Post-surgical Pain: Aids in recovery and pain relief post-spine surgery.
