With Spinal Decompression we stretch and relax the muscles surrounding the spine. This reduces pressure on the nerve, decrease the feeling of pain while improving blood flow and allowing for better nutrient exchange. This can enhance the body's natural healing processes and reduce inflammation around the compressed nerve.

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, running from the lower back through the buttocks and down each leg. When this nerve becomes compressed or irritated, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, with pain being the most common.
How does Spinal Decompression Therapy help with sciatica?
Reducing Pressure on the Nerve: The primary goal of spinal decompression therapy is to reduce pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. In the context of sciatica, it aims to create a negative pressure or a vacuum effect within the intervertebral discs. This negative pressure may help retract herniated or bulging discs, potentially relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. By relieving this pressure, the therapy can help reduce pain and other symptoms associated with sciatica.
Improved Blood Flow and Nutrient Exchange: Spinal decompression therapy may also promote improved blood flow and nutrient exchange in the affected area. This can enhance the body's natural healing processes and reduce inflammation around the compressed nerve.
Stretching and Relaxing Muscles: During a spinal decompression session, muscles around the spine can relax, which may contribute to pain relief. Sciatica can cause muscle spasms and tension, and the therapy can help alleviate these issues.
The hallmark symptom of sciatica is a sharp, shooting, or burning pain that typically starts in the lower back or buttock and radiates down one leg. The pain can vary in intensity and may be accompanied by numbness or tingling
Many people with sciatica experience numbness and tingling in the affected leg. This sensation can range from mild to severe and may be felt in the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot.
In some cases, sciatica can lead to weakness in the leg or foot. This weakness may make it difficult to walk or perform certain activities.

A herniated or slipped disc in the spine can press on the sciatic nerve, causing pain and other symptoms.
This is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the nerves, including the sciatic nerve.
The piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, can sometimes compress the sciatic nerve, leading to similar symptoms.
This condition occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another, potentially pinching the nerve
