Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

If you have a degenerative back condition caused by a spinal misalignment, then you know how persistent and agonizing that long-term pain can be. Perhaps you have had doctors tell you there is nothing traditional medicine can do for you other than to prescribe increasing amounts of medication. You may even have tried standard chiropractic adjustments to no effect. Fortunately, however, there is a Wichita chiropractor who can help. Our own Dr. Holdren at Auburn Hills Chiropractic is skilled in a technique that often succeeds where other techniques do not — non-surgical spinal decompression.

Spinal misalignments may stem from years of poor posture, a congenital imbalance, an auto accident, a sports injury, or a degenerative medical condition. The misalignment puts undue pressure on the gelatinous discs that cushion your vertebrae, allowing these discs to slip out of position, herniate and possibly even rupture. The nerves in and around the vertebrae or surrounding soft tissues may become pinched or strained, causing pain or tingling in your back, neck or limbs.

Pain Relief for Wichita and Goddard Patients

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a safe, effective method of taking the strain off the delicate discs and sensitive nerves in the spinal column. The patient lies on a special table while our chiropractor monitors a computer-guided machine that applies a series of slight but significant stretching forces to the affected part of the spine. This stretching force, along with rest periods, gently separates the vertebrae and helps guide them back into proper alignment, allowing discs and nerves to heal while also relieving back pain.

It usually takes several decompression sessions to get lasting results, but our patients often feel no discomfort during the procedure. In fact, some of them are so relaxed that they fall asleep on the table. The procedure is also completely safe when administered by experienced practitioners like Dr. Holdren. If you want to see if decompression therapy can help you, contact us to set up an appointment.
