Spinal Decompression

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: What You Need to Know

If you're seeking effective relief for spinal issues in the Orlando and Winter Park area, spinal decompression can significantly alleviate pressure on affected areas of the spine, enhancing your mobility. Dr. Hull, a leading Winter Park Chiropractor, can guide you through the various options and help determine how spinal decompression may support your recovery.

What to Expect from Spinal Decompression

In the Orlando and Winter Park area, patients have the option of non-surgical spinal decompression, often used to avoid spinal surgery. Non-surgical spinal decompression, particularly with advanced technology like the DRX9000, is a prominent choice. The DRX9000 is a state-of-the-art motorized traction machine designed to gently stretch the spine. By applying controlled traction, the DRX9000 helps reduce pressure on herniated or bulging discs, potentially facilitating their retraction and promoting the body’s natural healing process.

Surgical spinal decompression is typically reserved for more severe cases, such as those involving herniated or ruptured discs. Surgical options, including Corpectomy, Laminotomy, and Diskectomy, may be discussed. Dr. Hull, an experienced chiropractor in Winter Park, will thoroughly explain these options and assist in determining the best approach for your condition.

Conditions Treated by the DRX9000

The DRX9000 is effective in treating a variety of spinal conditions, including:

Herniated Discs
Bulging Discs
Degenerative Disc Disease
Sciatica
Spinal Stenosis
Facet Joint Syndrome
Low Back Pain
Neck Pain
Neuropathy (Numbness/Tingling)

The Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000, can complement a variety of other therapies, such as massage therapy and Chiropractic care, and is a valuable part of a comprehensive treatment plan. The benefits of this non-invasive therapy include:

Improved oxygen and blood flow, along with enhanced nutrient delivery to affected areas, promoting faster healing.
Reduced pressure on injured discs, which can help retract bulging or herniated discs.
Decreased pressure on surrounding nerves and spinal structures.
Increased ability to perform daily activities and exercises with greater ease.
Relief from back or neck pain.

Typically, patients in the Winter Park and Orlando area will undergo a series of in-office treatments, each lasting up to 30 minutes. Many individuals experience reduced discomfort, inflammation, and muscle tension shortly after sessions.

While non-surgical spinal decompression with the DRX9000 can be highly effective, Dr. Hull, your trusted Winter Park chiropractor, will also evaluate other non-surgical options based on your specific condition and response to other therapies.
