Decompression Therapy
Trailhead Chiropractic, Glenwood Springs
how it works
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and surrounding nerves. Here’s what you can expect:
Precise Motorized Table: You’ll lie comfortably on a specialized table while the device gently stretches and relaxes your spine in controlled cycles.
Targeted Pressure Relief: This stretch creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging bulging or herniated discs to retract.
Enhanced Healing: The process improves blood flow, promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs—helping your body heal naturally.
Completely Non-Surgical: No medications, no injections, and no downtime—just gradual, lasting improvement.
