Spinal Decompression Services in East York
Disc Herniation Decompression Treatment
A targeted therapy for patients with confirmed or suspected disc herniations. This approach gently separates the spinal vertebrae to reduce disc pressure, promoting rehydration and healing while decreasing inflammation and pain.
Sciatica Decompression Treatment
Designed for patients experiencing shooting pain down the leg due to nerve compression. Spinal decompression helps alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
Degenerative Disc Disease Decompression
A non-invasive approach that helps slow disc degeneration by improving disc hydration and relieving vertebral pressure. This therapy may reduce chronic back stiffness and improve long-term spinal health.
Facet Joint Decompression Therapy
This treatment helps reduce compression and irritation of the facet joints, common in patients with arthritis or age-related spinal changes. It can improve range of motion and decrease sharp or localized back pain.
Post-Surgical Back Pain Decompression Support
A gentle and safe option for individuals still experiencing discomfort after back surgery. Customized decompression sessions may help reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and support tissue healing.
Lumbar Spinal Decompression Therapy
Focused on the lower back, lumbar decompression helps create negative pressure within the lumbar discs. This can reduce radiating leg pain (sciatica), numbness, and stiffness caused by compressed nerves or degenerative disc disease.
