Spinal Decompression
The Experts at Relieving Your Pain
Non-surgical compression from one of our chiropractors works similarly to surgical decompression, easing pressure on the discs and nerves without the downtime.

Spinal Decompression Provided by Our Orland Park Chiropractor
When you have an injured disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or any other issue that affects your nerves or nerves in your back, then spinal decompression may be the best treatment for you. Pain relievers only help you temporarily avoid the pain and surgery for back or neck issues can lead to health complications later in life. That is why our team at Chiro-Med Health and Wellness Centers in Orland Park is committed to providing you with the quality care you need for full, non-invasive relief from your neck or back pain with spinal decompression.
The Manual Difference
What Is Spinal Decompression
We use manual Flexion-Distraction, a hands-on technique performed by the doctor, which offers several advantages over a hands-off automated approach, including:
Customized Treatment
With manual flexion-distraction, the chiropractor can adjust the technique based on your unique needs, providing more personalized care for your specific condition.
Greater Precision
Manual adjustments allow for more precise control over the angle, pressure, and intensity of the spinal distraction, which can be especially beneficial for complex or sensitive cases.
Immediate Feedback
The chiropractor can feel and respond to the body's reactions in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments to ensure comfort and optimal effectiveness during the treatment.
Gentler Approach
Manual techniques can be more sensitive and gentler, particularly for patients who may have a lower tolerance for the automated machine's more rigid movements.
How It Works
How Spinal Decompression Helps Your Discs
The discs in your spine are circular cushions of cartilage filled with fluid that keeps your vertebrae from rubbing against one another. It is not uncommon for trauma to cause a disc to slip out of its protective position. Occasionally, a disc will lose its fluid making the vertebrae come in direct contact with each other. It is also possible for discs to degenerate or dehydrate causing them to not function as adequately.
Spinal decompression gently lengthens your spine, so discs can find their way back into proper alignment. It may take more than one treatment for the spine to be fully realigned, but spinal decompression can greatly reduce or eliminate chronic back and neck pain caused by pressure on the discs. It can also ensure that blood flows throughout your back more freely, which provides your discs with more blood. As a result, an injured disc will receive the nutrients it needs to heal more optimally and quicker. It can also relieve nerve-related pain.
