Spinal Decompression Therapy in Glen Allen, VA 23059
Living with chronic back or neck pain can make the simplest tasks feel like insurmountable hurdles. Whether it’s a sharp, shooting pain down your leg or a dull, constant ache in your lower back, spinal issues often stem from compressed discs that just won't heal on their own.
At Health First Chiropractic & Wellness we specialize in non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy at our Glen Allen clinic. Utilizing the state-of-the-art Hill DT computer-controlled decompression table, we help patients find lasting relief from herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative joint disease without the risks of surgery or the dependency on pain medications.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, traction-based treatment designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves.
Unlike traditional traction, the Hill DT technology used at HFC & Wellness uses sophisticated sensors to bypass the body's natural muscle guarding response.
By gently stretching the spine, we create negative intra-discal pressure. This "vacuum effect" accomplishes two critical goals:
- Retraction: It helps pull bulging or herniated disc material back into the center of the disc.
- Rehydration: It facilitates the influx of oxygen, nutrients, and healing fluids into the disc, promoting natural cellular repair.
Advanced Technology: The Hill DT Difference
Many clinics use basic traction, but at our Glen Allen office, we utilize the Hill DT table. This system is widely considered the gold standard because its computer-controlled sensors monitor the patient’s muscle resistance thousands of times per second.
If the system detects tension, it adjusts the force instantly, ensuring the treatment remains comfortable and effective.
