If you are dealing with chronic back pain, neck pain, or discomfort from conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or post-operative complications, you don't have to endure the suffering any longer. At Breakthrough Health Center in Bonita Springs, FL, and Fort Myers, FL, we offer Spinal Decompression therapy — a non-surgical, effective treatment designed to provide relief from pain and restore mobility to the spine.
Spinal Decompression is a gentle, state-of-the-art chiropractic technique aimed at providing long-lasting relief for individuals experiencing discomfort due to damaged or degenerative discs. Whether you are suffering from a pinched nerve, radiating pain into the arms or legs, or conditions affecting the lumbar and cervical spine, Spinal Decompression may be the solution you need to find comfort.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive therapy that applies gentle distractive forces to the spine to relieve pain and promote healing in the affected discs and nerves. This procedure works by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure helps to reduce herniation, improve blood flow, and enhance the exchange of nutrients to the injured areas, which accelerates healing. The goal is to relieve pain, restore proper spinal function, and reduce the need for more invasive treatments like surgery.
The procedure targets issues such as:
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Neck and back pain
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
During a typical Spinal Decompression treatment session, the patient is positioned comfortably on a special table designed to allow precise spinal traction. Using a computer-controlled system, the therapist applies gentle, targeted distraction forces to the spine. This helps to gently stretch the vertebrae, reducing pressure on the discs and nerve roots.
Throughout the treatment, you’ll experience cycles of stretching and relaxation. These cycles gradually build to their peak over several minutes, helping to unload the spine and promote the healing process. By creating space between the vertebrae, the procedure helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, which can help alleviate pain caused by conditions such as bulging or herniated discs.
How Long Does Spinal Decompression Treatment Take?
Each Spinal Decompression therapy session typically lasts less than 20 minutes. Treatments are usually done three times a week for about a month, with the frequency reducing as you progress and respond to therapy. Many patients start experiencing pain relief after as few as 6-10 sessions, while others may require a full course of treatment, typically completing their program in 8 weeks.
Spinal Decompression is not just about healing the discs; it also targets the muscular control of the back and neck. Our comprehensive program includes a combination of exercise and adjunctive therapies, such as:
- Heat therapy
- Cold therapy
- Muscle stimulation
- Ultrasound therapy
This holistic approach enhances the stabilization of the spine’s ligaments, tendons, and muscles, supporting the healing process while preventing future injury.
What Happens After Treatment?
After completing your Spinal Decompression therapy, regular home exercises and periodic follow-up visits to our office will be essential in maintaining the improvements you've gained. These ongoing practices help preserve spinal health, keep your muscles strong, and reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?
Spinal Decompression therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
It’s a safe and effective alternative to surgery and pain medication. If you are looking for a non-invasive solution to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore mobility, Spinal Decompression could be the answer.

June is Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month
This June during Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimers Association is encouraging all Americans to take charge of their brain health. Today, there are more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimers. Two-thirds of Americans have at least one major potential risk factor for dementia. The brain changes that cause Alzheimers are thought to begin 20 years or more before symptoms start, which suggests that there may be a substantial window of time in which we can intervene in the progression of the disease. Experts believe there isnt a single cause of Alzheimers. Its likely the disease develops as a result of multiple factors. While not a direct cause of Alzheimers, the greatest known risk factor is advancing age. Although some risk factors like age cant be changed, as many as 45% of dementia cases may be attributable to modifiable risk factors, such as high blood pressure and lack of physical activity. Research shows that adopting healthy behaviors like getting exercise and good quality sleep can improve your brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Based on mounting scientific evidence, the Alzheimers Association encourages individuals to incorporate these 10 Healthy Habits such as challenging your mind and eating healthier foods to help protect brain health. Be Proactive in Addressing Brain Changes Only half of those with Alzheimers disease ever receive a diagnosis, delaying needed care and potentially putting them at risk. Another important way to take charge of your health is to know the early warning signs of Alzheimers and other dementia and be proactive in addressing them. Early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimers is more important than ever. Early detection offers significant benefits for the person diagnosed and their loved ones, including greater access to treatment options and the ability to plan for the future. There are now treatments that can slow disease progression for people in the early stage of Alzheimers, making a timely diagnosis critically important. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory or thinking problems, its important to get it checked. Talk to your doctor so you can make an informed decision on available treatments to determine if they are right for you. Join the Fight to End Alzheimers During Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimers Association invites everyone to join us in the fight to end Alzheimers and all other dementia. Heres what you can do: Adopt the 10 Healthy Habits: It is never too early or too late to start taking positive actions for your brain. Visit alz.org/healthyhabits to learn more!
