Relieves Pain

Tight or injured muscles can regularly spasm and cause you lots of pain. This can occur when muscles or disks are compressed. By gently pulling both ends of the spine, chiropractors are able to facilitate decompression in these areas. This relieves muscle tension and causes the nervous system to release pain-relieving neuro-chemical signals.

Promotes Healing of Spinal Disc Tissues

Spinal decompression relieves pressure on damaged disks by stretching out the spine and separating the vertebrae surrounding the afflicted areas. After the vertebrae have been separated, they move back into place, imposing a vacuum-like force on the spinal discs that causes fluids, cells, and other healing substances to rush towards them. This process helps the spine heal naturally.

Helps Restore Spinal Disc and Joint Alignment

Subluxed (out of place) joints and herniated discs are some of the leading causes of back pain and impaired mobility. The same vacuum-like force that helps promote the healing of spinal disc tissues also helps realign joints and discs and relieves pressure on spinal nerves.
