Spinal Decompression Traction in Los Angeles
Gentle, Non-Surgical Relief for Disc and Nerve Pain
Spinal decompression in Los Angeles at Faye Chiropractic uses intermittent traction to take pressure off irritated discs, joints, and nerves. This non-surgical spinal decompression approach is comfortable, controlled, and tailored to your condition, whether the pain is in your neck, your lower back, or radiating into a limb.
Spinal intermittent decompression traction is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce mechanical stress on the spine while improving mobility and comfort. By applying controlled cycles of traction and relaxation, the treatment helps reduce stress on the spinal discs, joints, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues.
Intermittent decompression is commonly used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as disc injuries, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, nerve irritation, and chronic neck or back pain. Every treatment is individualized based on your condition and comfort level.
Why Is It Called “Intermittent”?
Rather than apply constant traction, the treatment alternates between periods of gentle stretching and relaxation. These repeated cycles allow the tissues time to respond gradually while improving patient comfort and helping the spine adapt to the treatment.
Could Decompression Help Your Back or Neck?
An MRI or exam has shown a disc bulge, herniation, or degeneration
Pain travels from your lower back into your buttock or down your leg
Neck pain comes with tingling, numbness, or aching that runs into your arm
Standing or walking for long periods worsens symptoms linked to spinal stenosis
Chronic back or neck pain has lingered for months despite rest and stretching
You want to explore conservative care before considering more invasive options like surgery
The Benefits: Less Pressure, More Movement
Every cycle of traction and relaxation gives compressed structures a chance to unload. Over the course of care, this gradual approach may reduce stress on spinal discs and nerves while improving mobility and everyday comfort, without surgery.
