If you're living with chronic back pain, radiating leg pain, or stiffness that just won’t go away, you may have heard about spinal decompression therapy as a non-surgical treatment option. But how do you know if it’s right for you?
At Village Family Clinic, we specialize in helping patients find lasting relief without invasive procedures. Here are seven common signs that you might be a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy.
1. You Have Chronic Lower Back Pain
If your lower back pain persists despite rest, physical therapy, or medication, decompression may help by relieving pressure on the spinal discs and nerves.
2. You’ve Been Diagnosed with a Herniated or Bulging Disc
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract, which can reduce pressure on nerves and ease your symptoms.
3. You Experience Sciatica or Radiating Leg Pain
Pain, tingling, or numbness that travels down your leg is often caused by compressed nerves in the lower spine. Decompression therapy can relieve that nerve pressure.
4. You Feel Numbness or Tingling in Your Arms or Legs
These symptoms often signal nerve irritation or compression, particularly in the cervical or lumbar spine. Spinal decompression can improve nerve function and reduce these sensations.
5. You Want to Avoid Back Surgery
Not everyone is ready—or a candidate—for spinal surgery. If you're looking for a conservative, non-invasive option, decompression therapy may be worth exploring.
6. You’ve Tried Other Treatments Without Relief
If chiropractic adjustments, massage, or physical therapy haven’t fully resolved your pain, spinal decompression can be a powerful complement or next step in your care plan.
7. You’ve Been Told You Have Degenerative Disc Disease
This common age-related condition causes spinal discs to break down, leading to pain and stiffness. Decompression may improve disc hydration and relieve associated discomfort.
