Anyone who experiences back pain or neck pain caused by a damaged disc can be treated by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include bulging discs, protruding discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, leg pain or numbness. The list provided is a small number of conditions that could be treated.

During our Oakville’s spinal decompression therapy, the elements of the spinal column are realigned as they are being stretched. By doing this process, it takes off pressure on certain locations of the spine. While stretching the spinal cord, oxygen, nutrients and water movements are all encouraged and promoted. This increases the circulation within damaged tissues and injured areas, and leads to a natural healing process by virtue of fluids that reach the nutrient dense areas.

Are the sessions painful and how many sessions are needed to treat conditions?
In most cases of spinal decompression therapy, the treatments are completely painless and our clients do not feel any sort of discomfort. In fact, many patients fall asleep during spinal decompression therapy sessions, helping the process of the treatment become less intimidating. Doctors create treatment plans in order to determine how each patient’s sessions will go after their examinations. Based on current research on spinal decompression therapy, the best outcomes have resulted in doing 20 sessions over a 6-8 week period.
