Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy at Simply Chiropractic
Whether it’s from sleeping in an awkward position, long hours at a desk, or too much time on digital devices, back and neck discomfort can take a toll. That’s why at Simply Chiropractic, we provide SpineMED spinal decompression therapy—a non-surgical approach some people choose when dealing with disc-related concerns.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy uses gentle, computer-controlled forces to help reduce pressure within the spine. This process may support fluid and nutrient movement into the discs, which can assist the body’s natural healing responses. Unlike traditional traction methods, the SpineMED system is designed to apply precise, targeted adjustments in a comfortable and controlled way.
How Does It Work?
The SpineMED system continuously monitors and adjusts tension for accuracy. Its design allows Dr. Stephane to focus on specific spinal segments with consistency, while the patented pelvic restraint system offers secure positioning without traditional harnesses.
Common Uses
Spinal decompression therapy may be considered for individuals experiencing:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc changes
- Sciatica or radiating leg discomfort
- Facet joint irritation
- Spinal stenosis
- Ongoing back or neck discomfort
What to Expect
A typical SpineMED program involves 20-25 sessions, each lasting about 30 minutes. Sessions are usually scheduled 3-5 times per week over 4-6 weeks. You remain fully clothed, and many people find the process relaxing—some even doze off during their appointment.
Why Consider Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression systems like SpineMED are cleared for use in North America and are designed to minimize muscle tension that may reduce traction benefits. The ability to deliver targeted forces may make this option suitable for a broad range of people, depending on their health status and goals.
