Lumbar spinal decompression offers a non-surgical approach to relieving pressure on nerves in the lower back. Chiropractors use this technique to address conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal stenosis, which often contribute to lower back pain and limited mobility. Lumbar spinal decompression helps reduce compression by gently stretching the spine and encourages healing within the spinal discs.
This treatment involves using a specialized motorized table that creates a controlled stretching motion in the lower spine. The therapy aims to change the positioning and create negative pressure within the spine to allow herniated or bulging discs to retract and rehydrate. This negative disc pressure promotes improved circulation, allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach damaged tissues more effectively. Each session typically lasts 30 minutes and is often repeated over several weeks for optimal results. Chiropractors tailor the frequency and duration of lumbar spinal decompression to meet the individual needs of each patient.
Lumbar spinal decompression may be recommended for patients experiencing:
Patients who do not respond well to traditional physical therapy or medications may find relief with this conservative treatment approach. However, it is not suitable for individuals with spinal fractures, tumors, or advanced osteoporosis.
During the procedure, the patient is secured to the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression table while the device gradually applies gentle decompression to the spine. Most individuals report feeling a mild stretching sensation with little to no discomfort, and over half the patients fall asleep due to the level of comfort on the machine. Chiropractic care often combines decompression with other therapies, such as soft tissue mobilization, cold laser therapy, or targeted exercises, to improve outcomes and support spinal health.
After a series of treatments, many patients notice improvements in mobility, posture, and overall comfort. Lumbar spinal decompression is often combined with lifestyle changes and wellness strategies, helping patients manage pain more effectively and maintain long-term spinal alignment and comfort. Follow-up care is essential to maintaining results and may include spinal adjustments, ergonomic guidance, and regular exercise.
The goal of lumbar spinal decompression is not only to reduce current symptoms but also to prevent future flare-ups. Strengthening the core muscles, correcting posture, and avoiding repetitive strain all contribute to better spinal stability. Chiropractors provide education and tools to help patients actively participate in their recovery and long-term well-being.
By addressing the root cause of nerve compression, decompression therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes and encourages sustained improvement over time.
