When you are suffering from back or neck pain, herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or an injury to your spinal nerve roots, spinal decompression therapy may provide the relief you need. Spinal decompression therapy is a safe, effective chiropractic method for relieving stress and pressure in the spine and reducing symptoms of some common injuries and disorders.

If you’re ready to find relief from pain, improved mobility, less stress, and the ability to live your life pain-free, DeGroot Chiropractic Orthopedics can provide spinal decompression in Wilmington that will help you get back to living a happy, healthy life.

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle method of chiropractic care that utilizes a computer-controlled traction table to stretch your spine. You will remain fully clothed during the 20 minute treatment. Dr. de Groot will fit you into a safety harness, and you will lie on the traction table in a comfortable position. Dr. de Groot will then control the movement of the traction table using a computer. The table will slowly and safely stretch your spine in order to realign it and release pressure on your discs and nerves. Our patients have reported tremendous success after as little as a few weeks of treatment with spinal decompression therapy.
