Spinal Decompression Therapy: A Non-Surgical Solution for Sciatica and Herniated Discs
Are you suffering from the debilitating pain of sciatica or a herniated disc? At Denville Medical, we understand how these conditions can impact your quality of life. That’s why we’re excited to offer spinal decompression therapy – a non-invasive, effective treatment option that could be the key to your pain relief and recovery.
Understanding Sciatica and Herniated Discs
Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It’s often caused by a herniated disc, where the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing, irritating nearby nerves.
According to the American Chiropractic Association, up to 40% of people will experience sciatica at some point in their lives. The pain can range from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation, making everyday activities challenging.
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure has two primary benefits:
- It pulls the herniated disc material back into place
- It promotes the influx of healing nutrients into the disc
At Denville Medical, our state-of-the-art spinal decompression table allows for precise, computer-controlled decompression. This ensures a comfortable, personalized treatment experience for each patient.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

- Promotes natural healing
- Can provide long-lasting relief
- May help avoid surgery
- Comfortable and relaxing treatment sessions
Our Comprehensive Approach
At Denville Medical, we believe in a holistic approach to healing. While spinal decompression therapy can be incredibly effective on its own, we often combine it with other treatments for optimal results. These may include:
- Primary care consultations
- Physical therapy exercises
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Occupational therapy
- Acupuncture
This integrated approach allows us to address not just your symptoms, but the root cause of your pain, promoting long-term healing and prevention of future issues.
Is Spinal Decompression Therapy Right for You?
Spinal decompression therapy can be an excellent option for many patients suffering from sciatica or herniated discs. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. Conditions that may preclude this treatment include severe osteoporosis, spinal tumors, or advanced degenerative disc disease.
To determine if you’re a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive evaluation with our team. During this assessment, we’ll review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order imaging studies to get a complete picture of your condition.
The Road to Recovery
Recovery times can vary depending on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to treatment. Many patients experience significant relief within 20-28 sessions, typically scheduled over 5-7 weeks. However, some may find relief in as few as 8-10 sessions.
Throughout your treatment, our team at Denville Medical will closely monitor your progress, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Conclusion
Living with the pain of sciatica or a herniated disc doesn’t have to be your reality. Spinal decompression therapy at Denville Medical offers a non-surgical, effective solution that could put you on the path to a pain-free life.
