Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Spinal compression is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, often resulting in chronic pain, reduced mobility, and a decreased quality of life. This condition occurs when the vertebrae in the spine are subjected to excessive pressure, leading to the compression of the discs between them. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock and allowing for smooth movement of the spine. When compressed, they can bulge, herniate, or degenerate, causing pain and potentially impinging on nearby nerves.

Causes of Spinal Compression

Various factors can contribute to spinal compression, including age-related wear and tear, injuries, poor posture, and sedentary lifestyles. Our discs naturally lose some water content as we age, making them less flexible and more prone to damage. Occupations that involve heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or prolonged sitting can also increase the risk of spinal compression. Additionally, traumatic events such as car accidents or sports injuries can lead to sudden and severe compression of the spine.

At Vito Chiropractic, we understand spinal compression's impact on daily life. Our center in Scranton, PA, provides innovative, noninvasive solutions to help our patients find relief and regain mobility. Led by Dr. Emanuel Vito, our team of experienced professionals combines cutting-edge technology with a compassionate approach to patient care.

Innovative Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

One of the most advanced treatments we offer for spinal compression is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This innovative therapy provides a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgical procedures, offering hope to those who have been struggling with chronic spinal pain. Our Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy utilizes a specialized table controlled by advanced computer technology.

You'll lie comfortably on the table while it gently stretches your spine during the treatment. This controlled stretching creates negative pressure within the discs, which accomplishes several important goals:

Retraction of herniated or bulging disc material
Promotion of healing
Reduction of intradiscal pressure
Stimulation of disc rehydration

Most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing. Many even report feeling immediate relief after their first treatment. However, sessions are usually recommended to achieve optimal and lasting results. The exact number of treatments needed varies depending on the severity of the condition and the body’s response to the therapy.
