Spinal Decompression Therapy in Raleigh NC

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Relief for Slipped and Herniated Discs

At Carolina ChiroCare and Rehab, we provide innovative spinal decompression therapy in Raleigh, to alleviate back and neck pain caused by conditions like slipped discs, herniated discs, and sciatica. This gentle, drug-free approach is ideal for people looking to avoid surgery while reducing nerve pain, shooting pain, tingling, and numbness in the arms or legs. Our goal is to ease pressure on the spinal discs and nerves so you can return to a more comfortable and active life.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled stretching to reduce pressure within the spine. This process improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to injured tissues, supporting natural healing. It is often helpful for:

• Lower back and neck pain
• Sciatica and nerve-related pain
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Certain types of post-surgical discomfort

Treatment involves repeated cycles of gentle stretching and relaxation that gradually increase over each session, targeting damaged discs in the neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar) regions. Sessions usually:

• Last under 20 minutes
• Are scheduled about 3 times per week for 4 weeks
• Produce noticeable relief for many patients within 6–10 visits
• Span an average treatment plan of around 8 weeks

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?

If you experience persistent symptoms, such as:

• Chronic neck or back pain
• Disc bulges or herniations
• Sciatica
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Numbness or tingling down the arms or legs
• The desire for alternatives to surgery and drug-based treatments

you may be an excellent candidate for spinal decompression therapy.

Specialized Treatment for Herniated Discs

A herniated (slipped or bulging) disc is a frequent cause of pain in the neck, back, and legs. Discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, allowing flexibility and absorbing shock. When a disc tears or shifts out of place, it can press on nearby nerves and cause:

• Localized back or neck pain
• Radiating leg or arm pain
• Weakness, tingling, or reduced mobility

Our herniated disc treatment starts with a thorough assessment of:

• Pain patterns
• Muscle strength
• Reflexes and nerve function

From there, we design a personalized treatment plan that commonly includes spinal decompression as part of a broader recovery approach. Many herniated discs improve within about 4–6 weeks, depending on severity and location, and some patients notice relief even sooner.
