Decompression Therapy

Decompression therapy is a treatment that slowly and gently stretches the spine while decompressing the discs in between the bones of the spine. Dr. Aranibar uses a special table known as a flexion distraction table to decompress the discs of the low back.

Decompression Therapy for the Low Back Helps:

  • Herniated discs
  • Degenerative discs in the low back
  • Sciatica (leg pain or numbness / tingling)
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Facet syndrome

Decompression therapy for the neck is done by using a Y-Strap. A Y-strap is a specially designed strap that works by stretching the spine pulling the head in the Y-axis of the body. This pulling force generates a decompression in the discs between the bones of the neck. This decompressive force enables nutrients to flow into the discs.

Decompression Therapy for the Neck Helps:

  • Arm pain or tingling / numbness
  • Degenerative discs in the neck
  • Headaches
  • Facet syndrome
