What should I expect during a spinal decompression session?
The treatment harness is checked first, then computerized traction begins after positioning and comfort review. The session uses controlled pulling through a spinal decompression table. Our team monitors your comfort and can make suitable positioning adjustments. A follow-up discussion helps determine the next step in your personalized treatment plan.
How does a spinal decompression visit move from the first call to the last step?
The visit moves from intake and examination to treatment planning, positioning, traction, and follow-up review. The health history identifies relevant injuries and symptoms. The exam helps us select decompression or another approach. After the session, we discuss progress and any next care step.
Which part of the treatment decides the session scope?
The health history and movement exam decide the session scope. Symptoms, injury history, mobility limits, and clinical findings guide the treatment plan. Computerized traction, positioning, and comfort adjustments follow that plan. Spinal decompression does not suit every condition, so assessment comes before treatment.
How can I tell whether spinal decompression fits my condition?
A chiropractic evaluation determines whether spinal decompression fits your condition. The assessment reviews symptoms, health history, movement, and treatment goals. Back pain, neck pain, and sciatica may lead to different care plans. Our team may recommend adjustments, rehabilitation, or therapeutic exercises when those options better match the findings.
What changes the cost of this treatment?
The evaluation, condition, included services, and treatment plan change the cost of care. Free estimates are available before treatment begins. The estimate discussion can address whether care includes decompression alone or related services such as adjustments, corrective care, or rehabilitation.
Do I need X-rays before starting spinal decompression?
X-rays are considered when they are clinically indicated, so they are not automatic for every patient. The health history and exam guide that decision. Bring relevant medical records if you have them, and share details about prior injuries, current symptoms, and other care during the intake.
Can spinal decompression follow an auto accident or work injury?
Spinal decompression can be considered after an auto accident or work injury when the evaluation supports it. The injury history and movement exam come first. Our team may also include injury rehabilitation, spinal adjustments, or therapeutic exercises. Urgent symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation before chiropractic treatment.
