Spinal Decompression Therapy and You

We’re thrilled to now be able to offer our patients this advanced treatment, with Finn Chiropractic Group being the only local chiropractor certified in the Kennedy Decompression Technique. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy is safe and effective for treating conditions such as neck and low back pain, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and sciatica.  It’s a non-surgical, traction-based treatment that relieves pressure on the spine by stretching and decompressing the discs.  Patients, fitted with pelvic and thoracic harnesses, lie on a computerized controlled table.  Most patients find the sessions, which last about 20-30 minutes, to be comfortable.  Treatment typically involves 8-12 sessions, with many patients reporting pain relief after the first few sessions.

Individuals who could potentially benefit from this type of therapy are those who:
  • experience chronic back pain
  • suffer from failed back surgery syndrome
  • have bulging or herniated discs
  • have been diagnosed with facet syndrome, sciatica, or lumbar degenerative disc disease.
Some people are not good candidates for this therapy, including those who:
  • are pregnant
  • have suffered a new vertebra fracture
  • have titanium rods in their back
  • have been diagnosed with pelvic or abdominal cancer
  • have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis
Additional information on this therapy can be obtained by contacting Finn Chiropractic Group at info@finnchiro.com.
