How We Provide Spinal Decompression Therapy in Sterling VA
Spinal decompression therapy is a non‒invasive treatment option available at Active Lifestyle Medical in Sterling, VA. We offer advanced Spinal Decompression Therapy in Sterling VA using the modern SpineMED machine, which is why patients come to us from far and wide. This machine is specifically designed to relieve pressure on nerves caused by disc issues such as bulging or herniated discs.
By utilizing the SpineMED machine’s specialized decompression capabilities and gentle traction techniques, the therapy helps to create a negative pressure within the disc. This allows fluid and nutrients to be drawn back into the disc, promoting healing.
Our treatment can effectively address conditions like sciatica, lower back pain, degenerative disc disease, and other lumbar issues, as well as disc bulging in the neck (cervical) area. Additionally, we offer Flexion/Distraction therapy in our office to complement our decompression treatments.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
The most important thing to know about spinal decompression is that there are two types: surgical spinal decompression and non‒surgical spinal decompression. At Active Lifestyle Medical, we use non‒surgical spinal decompression therapy. Non‒surgical spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spinal column, creating negative pressure. This then eases pressure on the spine, pinched nerves, or bulging discs through controlled stretching of the spine. This process not only helps with relieving pain but also promotes healing from conditions like herniated disks.
If you're struggling with persistent pain symptoms or spinal health problems and want a natural solution that's non‒invasive, spinal decompression therapy is for you. Many patients find our non‒surgical methods to be soothing and relaxing. To ensure you obtain lasting relief, our team creates a custom treatment plan to ensure you achieve optimal health.
If you’re looking to alleviate pain but don’t know where to start, start by scheduling an appointment with Active Lifestyle Medical. Our effective treatments are designed with your needs in mind and personalized to ensure you get the best care possible.
