Spinal Decompression for Sciatica in Salem, Oregon

What is decompression therapy?

Spinal Decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment for back pain.  .

Spinal decompression Therapy  is a non-surgical treatment designed to gently reduce pressure on the spine and its supporting structures. Using a specialized spinal decompression table (Triton DTS) , controlled traction is applied to specific areas of the cervical or lumbar spine to create a gradual stretching and unloading effect. This may help reduce mechanical stress on spinal discs, joints, nerves, muscles, and surrounding soft tissues. During treatment, your spine is stretched and relaxed at set intervals, which creates a negative pressure within the discs in your spine. This negative pressure pulls your bulging or herniated disc back into place and improves circulation to the discs to support healing

Spinal decompression therapy is commonly used as part of a treatment plan for conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, facet syndrome, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, neurogenic claudication, scoliosis, chronic neck or back pain, and pinched nerves or acute discitis. By decreasing pressure and improving movement within the affected spinal segment, decompression may help relieve pain, improve mobility, and create a more favorable environment for recovery.

At InterState Medical Group, spinal decompression therapy  is not used as a stand-alone, one-size-fits-all treatment. It may be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation, soft-tissue therapy, Class IV laser, shockwave therapy, or other modalities based on the patient’s examination findings and individual needs. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore motion, improve function, and help patients return to the activities that matter most.

Movement is our medicine. Motion heals.

If you’re suffering from chronic back pain that’s not improving with medication and physical therapy, you may want to consider spinal decompression therapy at InterState Medical Group. The innovative healing therapy has helped many patients like you avoid major surgery.

Your decompression therapy is a painless in-office treatment. During your spinal decompression therapy, your provider has you lie on the Chattanooga Triton DTS table and then, as an example for back pain, places a harness around your trunk and hips, and begins your treatment, which may take 15-30 minutes.

To get the most benefits from your spinal decompression therapy, the team at Interstate Medical Group recommends a series of treatments set over a 5-7 week period. The committed team at Interstate Medical Group wants to not only relieve your pain but also restore health and wellness, and may combine your decompression therapy with other treatments, such as salt therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or massage therapy. For an example; a single disc herniation may need 18 visits; several disc herniations may require up to 30 visits.
