Introduction

Living with back pain can affect almost every part of your life. However, you don't have to live with it. In our West Des Moines clinic, we work to restore your mobility, reduce discomfort, and get you back to the things in life that you love.

What Is Chiropractic Spinal Decompression?

Chiropractic spinal decompression is a safe, non-surgical treatment to reduce pressure on the spine. In simpler terms:

• It creates space between your vertebrae.

• It reduces nerve compression.

• It helps your spine heal naturally — without drugs or surgery.

When done properly, spinal decompression can address the root cause of pain, not just mask the symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?

If you experience chronic back pain, neck pain, or tingling sensations in your limbs, spinal decompression exercises may help. You might benefit from this treatment if you have:

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Degenerative disc disease

• Sciatica or nerve compression

• Persistent lower back or neck pain

• Injuries from poor posture or repetitive strain

A chiropractor in West Des Moines can perform a detailed assessment to determine whether spinal decompression is right for you. Every spine is unique, so your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.

How the Process Works

During your spinal decompression session, you’ll lie comfortably on a specially designed table. The chiropractor will gently apply traction to your spine in precise cycles of pulling and relaxing.

Here’s what you can expect:
 

1. Preparation

2. Gentle Traction

3. Relaxation Cycles

4. Duration

Most patients describe the experience as relaxing — some even fall asleep during the process!

Road To Recovery

Spinal decompression is not a one-and-done treatment. It is part of an eventual healing process to help your spine realign and function better in the long run.

As you progress through your recovery spinal decompression experience, you may experience:

• Less stiffness in the neck or lower back area

• Less pain and inflammation

• Better alignment, or better posture

• The ability to return to an activity you previously avoided

To support your results after spinal decompression, you will be asked to do:

• Gentle stretching routines

• Core-strengthening exercises

• Lifestyle adjustments

These adjustments will complement the decompression process to help keep your spine balanced and pain-free.
 

The Benefits of Non-Invasive Back Treatment

Some of the benefits include:

• No incision or medication

• Relief of chronic back or neck pain

• Improved blood and nutrient flow to the spinal discs

• Increased mobility and flexibility

• Long-term spinal health and posture recovery

As patients tell us, they value how this helps them feel better naturally, without the need for invasive procedures or painkillers.
