What is
Spinal Decompression?

Fortunately, advancements in natural healthcare have led to an innovative treatment for back and spinal pain called spinal decompression offering long lasting relief and promoting healing without invasive procedures or reliance on medication.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based therapy designed to alleviate pressure on the spine and surrounding structures such as the discs, nerves and joints. It involves a computer controlling the gentle stretch of the spine to create space between vertebrae, relieving compressed nerves and promoting the flow of nutrients to damaged discs and arthritic joints. By targeting the root cause of back pain, spinal decompression aims to restore spinal health, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

During a spinal decompression treatment, patients are comfortably positioned on a specialized table equipped with advanced computerized traction technology. A harness is then attached to the patient’s pelvis and upper body, allowing controlled traction to be applied to the spine. This gentle stretching action creates negative pressure within the discs, promoting the retraction of herniated or bulging material and relieving pressure on pinched nerves.  The treatment last 15 minutes.  After the session majority of patients feel relief during and post treatment.

The Benefits of Spinal Decompression

1. Pain Relief: Spinal decompression provides effective relief from chronic back pain by addressing its underlying cause. By decompressing the spine and reducing pressure on nerves, patients experience a significant reduction in pain, allowing for improved mobility and functionality.

2. Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical interventions, spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment option that carries minimal risk and requires no downtime for recovery. Patients can undergo sessions comfortably and return to their daily activities immediately afterward, making it a convenient choice for those seeking natural alternatives to surgery.

3. Improved Spinal Health: By promoting the rehydration and rejuvenation of spinal discs and joints, spinal decompression supports overall spinal health. Increased nutrient flow to damaged discs facilitates healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body’s natural ability to repair damaged tissues, promoting long-term wellness.

4. Avoidance of Medication: Spinal decompression offers a drug-free approach to managing back pain, eliminating the need for long-term medication use and its associated side effects. By addressing the root cause of pain through mechanical traction, patients can achieve lasting relief without relying on pharmaceutical interventions.

5. Customized Treatment: Each spinal decompression session is tailored to the individual needs of the patient, ensuring optimal effectiveness and comfort. The traction force, angle of pull, and session duration can be adjusted based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment, providing personalized care for maximum benefit.

6. Safe and Versatility: Spinal decompression is suitable for a wide range of spinal conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and facet syndrome. Whether addressing acute injuries or chronic conditions, spinal decompression offers a versatile treatment option that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.

7. Preventative Maintenance: Spinal decompression can also serve as a preventive measure to maintain spinal health and prevent future injuries. By decompressing the spine regularly, patients can alleviate accumulated stress and tension, reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions over time.  Many of our patients prefer to come in once a month to benefit from a zero gravity environment treatment for their back.

Jennifer has answered all my skincare prayers! I have struggled with acne and other skin issues for the last 2+ years, and tried every product, treatment, medication out there and saw multiple different people trying to figure out what was going on with my skin. After only 2 visits, I finally feel a sense of relief and found someone I can trust. You can see how passionate and knowledgeable she is about what she does. Jennifer is the wizard of all things skin care. Pure Health has got me for life! Thank you Jennifer and Dr. Marcotte!

The office staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. Dr. Marcotte is very personable and knowledgeable in the field of functional medicine, nutrition, and health. He took the time to get to know us and address my concerns for me and my adult daughter with Down syndrome, ordered the appropriate testing, and set up a plan that we feel comfortable with. Looking forward to a partnership that will answer questions and give us the best results possible

Pure Health Medical is a life-saver. Dr. Marcotte is fantastic and is helping me get my health back on track. He is a great listener and doesn't rush you through your appointments like many other doctors do. He is empathetic, kind and encouraging. Dr. Caldwell is awesome as well and has been very patient with me during adjustments as I am new to the whole concept and have a hard time relaxing. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the environment is clean, bright and inviting. They offer many additional services that I have not yet partaken in (ie - massages and facials etc.) but I plan to. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a functional medicine approach to their health or a good Chiropractor - definitely go to Pure Health Medical!
