Spinal Decompression at NoVa Spine & Wellness

Advanced Non-Surgical Relief

person on decompression table Spinal Decompression Therapy at NoVa Spine & Wellness represents the gold standard in non-surgical treatment for disc-related conditions. This innovative therapy provides gentle, controlled decompression of the spine, offering hope to patients suffering from herniated discs, bulging discs, and chronic back pain who want to avoid surgery and medication.

How Spinal Decompression Works

During treatment, our specialized decompression machine creates a precise, computer-controlled stretch of your spine. This gentle force creates a negative pressure within the discs, which helps to:

Retract herniated or bulging disc material
Promote healing by increasing nutrient and oxygen flow
Reduce pressure on compressed nerves
Restore proper disc height and function
Alleviate pain and discomfort naturally

The Treatment Experience

Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes, with the actual decompression portion taking about 10 minutes. Patients often report feeling a gentle stretch in their spine during treatment. While some may experience mild soreness initially, most notice significant relief either later the same day or by the following day. This therapy is both safe and comfortable, with many patients actually falling asleep during their session.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At NoVa Spine & Wellness, we understand that disc issues often relate to overall spinal structure. That’s why we combine decompression therapy with postural correction and spinal rehabilitation when appropriate. This integrated approach helps ensure lasting results by addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying structural issues.

This therapy can be particularly effective for herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, chronic back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and facet syndrome.

Treatment Plans and Results

While each patient’s needs are unique, we typically recommend a minimum of 10 sessions for optimal results. Dr. Weber will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition, taking into account factors such as:

Severity of disc involvement
Duration of symptoms
Previous treatments attempted
Overall spinal health
Lifestyle and activity levels
