According to the American Chiropractic Association, about 31 million Americans experience back pain at any given time. Many of these people are advised to have surgery to help with this pain, but a much safer alternative is mechanical spinal decompression. Spinal decompression in Downey CA is safe, non-surgical FDA-cleared technology that is typically used to treat disc injuries in the lower back and neck in.

What is Spinal Decompression in Downey CA?

Spinal distraction (spinal decompression) is used as a treatment option to relieve back pain resulting from herniated, bulging, or protruding discs associated with various spine injuries and pathologies. Decompressing the spine helps reduce pressure on the intervertebral disc, relieves compression and irritation of the nerve roots and improves traveling/ radiating pain.

Spinal Decompression can be used to treat conditions such as:

• Herniated or degenerated disc
• Spinal arthritis
• Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Nerve root pressure
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
• Posterior facet synd
  rome (worn spinal joints)
• Diseases affecting spinal nerve roots
• Injuries to spinal nerve roots
• Soft-tissue spinal stenosis
• Facet arthropathy

How it Works

The therapy itself works to decompress the spine, using a spinal decompression table to create negative pressure and space within the disc to allow disc fluid to move back into place. This creates an environment in which the disc can receive more nutrients and therefore heal itself more quickly and effectively. The ultimate goal of spinal decompression therapy is to relieve the patient’s chronic back, arm, neck, and/or leg pain, and to heal the source of said pain.

Spinal Decompression vs. Spinal Traction — What’s the Difference?

Q: What is spinal decompression?
A: Spinal decompression is a gentle, computerized therapy designed to relieve pressure inside the discs of your spine. It helps reduce disc bulges, herniations, and nerve irritation.

Q: What is CBP® spinal traction?
A: CBP® (Chiropractic BioPhysics®) spinal traction is a corrective treatment that focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment and posture over time using specific positioning and sustained stretching.

Q: What’s the main difference between the two?
A: Spinal decompression focuses on relieving pressure and pain, while CBP® spinal traction focuses on correcting the structure of the spine for long-term results.

Q: Which one do I need?
A: It depends on your condition. Patients with disc injuries or nerve pain often benefit from decompression, while those with posture-related issues or chronic problems benefit from CBP® traction. Many patients benefit from a combination of both.

Q: Can they be used together?
A: Yes. In many cases, we first use decompression to reduce pain and then use CBP® traction to correct the underlying issue and prevent it from coming back.

Q: Will I feel results right away?
A: Many patients feel relief quickly with decompression. CBP® traction works more gradually to create lasting structural improvements.

Q: Are these treatments safe?
A: Yes. Both treatments are non-surgical, drug-free, and performed under doctor supervision based on your specific condition.
