What to Expect During a Spinal Decompression Treatment Session: A Guide for Patients

Knowing what to expect during a spinal decompression treatment session can help ease any anxiety you may have and make the experience more comfortable. Here's what you can typically expect during a session:

• Your healthcare provider will assess your condition to determine the best approach to spinal decompression treatment.
• You will be comfortably positioned on a traction table or other motorized device that stretches and decompresses your spine.
• Your session will typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, during which you will be asked to relax and remain still.
• You may experience a gentle stretching sensation in your back during the treatment, but the procedure should not cause any pain.
• You may require several sessions to experience the full benefits of spinal decompression treatment, depending on the severity of your back condition.

Remember to communicate with your healthcare provider about any concerns or questions you may have before and during the treatment session.
