Your visit begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments. Dr. Desai will assess whether disc decompression is the appropriate non-surgical treatment for your condition, which may include degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or a damaged disc.
Next, we perform a detailed physical exam and may review imaging studies to identify the injured area. Our goal is to determine the exact cause of your discomfort and tailor the therapy to your needs for optimal results.
Once treatment begins, you will be guided onto the flexion-distraction table to target the affected area safely and comfortably. Proper positioning is key to achieving effective spinal decompression.
The therapy involves slow, rhythmic spine stretching using controlled flexion-distraction movements. This gentle technique creates space around the spinal nerves and relieves pressure from the damaged disc.
Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing and experience a sense of relief during or shortly after the session. As with any non-surgical treatment, results build over time with consistent care.
Decompression therapy is an effective approach to managing various types of back discomfort, including lower back pain and neck pain. By gently stretching the spine and relieving pressure on pinched nerves, the treatment helps reduce irritation and inflammation around the affected areas. This leads to meaningful symptom relief, particularly for individuals with chronic conditions that have not improved with other methods.
One of the primary goals of decompression therapy is to ease the load on spinal structures, especially in cases involving herniated discs. The treatment creates negative pressure within the disc space, which can help draw the disc material away from compressed nerves. This process reduces internal disc pressure and supports the spine’s natural healing mechanics.
In addition to relieving mechanical pressure, decompression therapy also promotes better blood flow around the spine. This increased circulation supports nutrient exchange in the discs and surrounding tissues. By restoring this natural process, the spine is better equipped to repair and maintain itself over time.
The cost of disc decompression in Tampa ranges from $100 to $250 per session, depending on the provider, the length of each visit, and whether additional therapies are included. Because this is a non-surgical treatment, it is more affordable than surgical options for managing spinal conditions. Costs may vary if you are receiving therapy for herniated or bulging discs, disc injuries, or chronic lower back pain.
It is best to consult Dr. Desai to determine the most appropriate plan for your specific condition and budget.
