Spinal Decompression and Pain Management by our Chiropractor, Dr. O’Dell

Depending on your condition, chiropractor Dr. O’Dell may recommend a spinal decompression treatment. Spinal decompression is a traction therapy that gently stretches the spine. It creates a negative intra-discal pressure to reposition misaligned discs. Spinal decompression treatment also increases the ability for healing nutrients to enter the discs. It’s an effective treatment for bulging discs, herniated discs, sciatica and posterior facet syndrome. The goal is to relieve back pain and promote an optimal healing environment.
