Expert Spinal Decompression

Your spine is the foundation of your body’s movement and function. It not only keeps you upright but also protects the spinal cord, which serves as the main pathway for communication between your brain and the rest of your body. When the spinal discs are compressed, they can cause pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation that make it difficult to move comfortably or enjoy daily life.

At APEX Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Greenacres, FL, we specialize in safe and effective spinal decompression therapy. This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure, restore mobility, and allow your body to heal naturally. Patients who undergo spinal decompression often notice reduced pain, improved posture, and better overall function.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression is a therapeutic technique that uses controlled traction to relieve pressure on the spinal discs. These discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, but when they become compressed or damaged, they can bulge, herniate, or degenerate. This often causes pain, tingling, or weakness that radiates into the arms or legs.

During spinal decompression, you lie comfortably on a specialized table that applies gentle stretching to the spine. This process creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated material to move back into place. At the same time, the stretching motion increases blood flow and nutrient exchange, which supports healing.

Spinal decompression is safe, comfortable, and drug free. Many patients describe it as a soothing, relaxing therapy that leaves them with a sense of relief after each session.

Why Spinal
Decompression
Matters

When your spinal discs are compressed, the results can affect more than just your back. Compressed discs often press on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms, legs, or even hands and feet. Over time, this compression can limit your mobility, reduce your ability to exercise, and make even simple tasks difficult.

Spinal decompression helps restore the natural spacing between your vertebrae. This takes pressure off the nerves, improves circulation, and allows your body to function as it should. By correcting the underlying problem rather than simply masking symptoms, decompression therapy offers long term benefits for spinal health.

Proper decompression can:

  • Reduce pressure on spinal nerves
  • Improve posture and mobility
  • Relieve chronic pain in the neck and back
  • Support disc healing and hydration
  • Help prevent recurring flare ups of pain

Common Conditions Spinal Decompression Helps Treat

Herniated or Bulging Discs

When the soft inner material of a disc pushes outward, it can press on nerves and cause pain. Spinal decompression helps move the disc material back into position and reduces pressure on the affected nerves.


Degenerative Disc Disease

As discs lose hydration and height with age, they may lead to chronic pain or stiffness. Decompression encourages fluid exchange that helps discs function more effectively.

Sciatica

Compression of the sciatic nerve often leads to radiating pain down one or both legs. By relieving nerve pressure, decompression therapy can reduce pain and improve mobility.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal can place pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Decompression helps create more space, easing irritation and discomfort.


Chronic Low Back Pain

For patients with ongoing pain that has not responded to other treatments, spinal decompression offers a safe, non-invasive option for relief.


Neck Pain and Cervical Disc Problems

Decompression of the cervical spine can ease tension, headaches, and nerve related symptoms in the upper body.

Common Causes of Joint Pain & Soft Tissue Injuries

Many factors can contribute to joint pain and soft tissue injuries. Identifying the root cause helps us build the most effective treatment strategy. The most common causes include:

What to Expect During Spinal Decompression Therapy

Joint and soft tissue injuries can develop suddenly or progress over time. Some are the result of accidents or trauma, while others stem from repetitive movements, improper biomechanics, or chronic inflammation. Understanding the types of injuries we treat can help you identify your condition and the care you may need.

Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history, and health goals. This helps us understand what you are experiencing and how decompression may help

We conduct orthopedic and neurological tests, assess posture and mobility, and may recommend imaging such as X-rays to evaluate spinal alignment and disc health.

Based on your condition, we design a treatment plan that includes the appropriate number of decompression sessions. This plan may also combine other therapies like chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, or soft tissue therapy.

You will lie comfortably on the decompression table as the device applies gentle, controlled traction. The treatment is not painful and many patients find it relaxing.
We monitor your progress throughout treatment and make adjustments as needed. Once symptoms improve, many patients choose occasional maintenance sessions to keep the spine healthy and prevent flare ups.
