Spinal Decompression in San Antonio for Lasting Pain Relief

At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio, we use state-of-the-art techniques to help provide our patients the best of effective, safe and gentle treatment. A principal focus of our practice is relieving the low back, upper back and headache pain caused by spinal misalignment. One of our principal treatment methods is spinal decompression.

Spinal decompression relieves neck and back pain caused by such injuries as whiplash, herniated discs, and even poor posture. The effect of any these injuries is to throw your spine out of alignment, and compress your disks and their nerves, triggering pain or discomfort. Spinal decompression relieves back and headache pain by gently stretching the spine, relieving the pressure of misalignment so that your nerves and disks can heal. Unlike other medical practitioners, chiropractors, use drug free, nonsurgical techniques such as spinal decompression to restore spinal wellness and relieve pain.

How spinal decompression works

Dr. Phillips utilizes a computerized, state-of-the-art spinal decompression system that applies traction to slowly lengthen the spine back into its correct position. With the patient safely secured to the decompression table, a gentle, carefully adjusted and repetitive process of contraction and release begins, decompressing the spine. With spinal alignment restored and oxygenated blood flowing to your injured disks, pain is relieved and healing begins. Many of our patients have said they experienced immediate relief of their migraines and upper and low back pain.

Is spinal decompression safe?

Once the spinal decompression process beings, any anxiety our patients may have about being strapped to the decompression table quickly evaporates as the gentle process of decompression begins. They find the treatment to be comfortable and effective. Many even dose off during the treatment.

Some of our patients come to us resigned to suffering lifelong pain from headaches and back pain. Happily, we’ve been able to bring them permanent pain relief through such gentle, holistic chiropractic techniques as spinal decompression.

At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio, we’re committed to helping you overcome the pain and stress that can lessen your enjoyment of life.
