Spinal Decompression in Murfreesboro

woman having back examined Are you tired of dealing with persistent back pain without finding lasting relief? Do you want to stop relying on pain medication to manage your discomfort? Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that relieves nerve pressure and promotes healing by gently stretching the spine, and at Morter Family Chiropractic, we specialize in addressing chronic and severe back conditions through customized spinal decompression treatments. Many patients who have tried multiple treatment options, including surgery, have found renewed hope and lasting comfort with our targeted decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression therapy is a cutting-edge approach to treating herniated or bulging discs by creating a negative pressure environment within the disc using a traction table equipped with advanced computer technology to target specific disc levels and provide precise treatment.

At our clinic, we recognize that each patient’s condition is unique. Our spinal decompression process allows for treatment adjustments based on the patient’s individual needs. This personalized approach ensures optimal relief and support throughout each session.

Effective Treatment for Disc Issues

This adjunct therapy provides a non-invasive, highly effective solution to relieve pressure on nerves caused by herniated or bulging discs. Through a series of stretch-and-release protocols, spinal decompression creates a vacuum effect within the discs, drawing herniated or bulging material back into place. This therapy promotes healing and enhances overall spinal health by reducing pressure on the spine and improving circulation within the discs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does each session take?

Most treatments last between 15 and 30 minutes.

How many sessions will I need?

Depending on your condition and its severity, most patients require 12 to 24 sessions.

Is spinal decompression safe?

When performed by trained clinicians, it’s considered very safe. Some patients experience mild, temporary muscle soreness. Rarely, symptoms may feel worse before they improve. Spinal decompression isn’t recommended for patients with fractures, tumors, infections, spinal instability, recent surgery, pregnancy, or abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Does insurance cover decompression therapy?

Insurance companies and government programs typically do not cover spinal decompression. In our area, treatments typically range from $125 to $150 per session. “Because decompression saved me from surgery, I make it affordable at $75 per treatment,” says Dr. Josh.

When will I notice results?

Most patients feel relief within an hour after their first treatment. That relief may last hours or even days initially. Each session builds on the last, and most patients report significant improvement after 4-6 treatments (about 1-2 weeks).

How effective is spinal decompression?

Studies show success rates of 85-92% for common conditions.

Are the results permanent?

For many patients, yes. Some benefit from occasional maintenance treatments every few months, but most don’t require ongoing care.

How does it compare to surgery?

Surgery involves a longer recovery time and significantly higher risks at a greater expense. Decompression offers lower risk, lower cost, and faster relief. Surgery is warranted in emergencies, but that’s only about 3% of cases.
