Most of us suffer from back pain as we grow older or when involved in an accident. Our chiropractors at Purple Cow Chiropractic aka Disc Injury Specialists of California are located in Camarillo and Encino. They recommend spinal decompression to help your back pain go away.
Spinal decompression is a type of therapy that involves stretching the spine using a traction table to relieve back pain and leg pain.
Our patients are people seeking non-invasive treatments that do not involve surgery or taking of medication, especially opiates. The therapy involves gently stretching the spine; this relieves the pressure of the vertebrae. The reduced pressure causes the retraction and repositioning of the herniating and bulging disc material. The low-pressure region in the disc will stimulate the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients to your disc, and it will, in turn, speed up the healing process. Our chiropractor advises on approximately 20 sessions for you to feel significant pain relief. Each session can take up to 30 minutes. The treatment is also curated based on your age, health level, and pain levels.
The traction table has two parts, and only the lower part of the table moves. The patient either faces up or down on the table. The patient is then harnessed around the hips, and the harness is joined to the lower side. The lower part is the one that slides back and forth to provide traction and relaxation to the spine. Sensors fitted to the table can identify the resistance areas and adjust the pull's intensity until your muscles relax. A safety switch is also provided if you feel too uncomfortable and want the procedure to stop.
Studies have shown that spinal decompression therapy has numerous positive results, and they are long-lasting. It is also safer than surgery that has many other associated risks. At Purple Cow Chiropractic, we treat the following conditions using spinal decompression therapy:

Non-surgical decompression is a type of motorized traction that has been shown to relieve back pain. This therapy works by gently stretching the spine, which relieves stress on the back muscles and spinal discs. Because this is a non-surgical procedure, there is no need to go to a hospital or have any injections of incisions performed on your body. Non-surgical spinal decompression is also ideal for those who do not want to deal with the period of downtime following a surgical procedure.
Spinal decompression has been used for years in medical and chiropractic offices throughout the country. This procedure has been performed millions of times with an extremely high success rate. Because this procedure is non-invasive, there are almost no side effects or adverse reactions.
You may have some questions about non-surgical decompression. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the procedure.

The exact length of spinal decompression therapy varies from person to person. Sessions typically continue for a few weeks to a few months.

Decompression Therapy is a Non-Surgical Procedure to help reduce or eliminate low back and leg pain.
An effective Cervical treatment for neck pain, arm pain, and headaches is also available.
Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain, and headaches.
Decompression Therapy effectively relieves the pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, posterior facet, and other spinal related syndromes, by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.
Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and often renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle.
Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals.
Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases.
This treatment helps patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery.
Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. During each session, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, or therapeutic laser may be applied to help relax muscles and promote further healing of injured tissues.
After treatment, your doctor may prescribe specific exercises designed to help you regain proper control and strength of the stabilization muscles which can help create long term benefits.
Decompression Therapy is administered to patients fully clothed either face down or face up on the table.
Clinical studies suggest Decompression Therapy provides a majority of qualified candidates with initial relief within just a few sessions.
Decompression Therapy is an approved procedure that is covered by many insurance companies.
This proven, non-surgical approach could help you find the pain relief you need.

Decompression Therapy relieves pain, reduces inflammation of the spine, and restores spinal motion all while treating the underlying cause.
Spinal Decompression Therapy creates negative pressures inside the herniated, bulging disc letting it retract naturally, thus relieving disc pressure on spinal nerves which usually relieves the pain. Reducing pressure in the disc also restores the natural transfer of surrounding fluids, nutrients, and oxygen into the disc, a process essential for disc health. Tears in the disc’s wall can now repair themselves while nutrients introduced back into the disc’s nucleus can reverse the disc’s degeneration and its collapse, and restore disc height which relieves pressure on inflamed spinal joints.
The majority of our patients find treatments to be a comfortable and relaxing experience, many actually even fall asleep during treatments.
Research and clinical experience have shown the best results to occur with 20-30 decompression therapy treatments. These treatments are completed at a typical frequency of 3 times per week. Several factors will determine the treatment protocol that will be specifically designed for you. No two spines are the same. Several other treatment modalities may be employed in order to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, decrease pain, accelerate healing potential, improve balance, and strengthen supporting structures such as Deep Tissue Laser, Muscle Therapy, Strength and Restoration Therapy, Moist Heat, Stretching and Stability Exercises in addition to Chiropractic Specific Adjustments.
There have been several studies performed that demonstrate the effectiveness of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. As referenced by Gionis et al., “Results showed that 86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms, while 84% remained pain-free 90 days post-treatment. Physical examination findings showed improvement in 92% of the 219 patients, and remained intact in 89% of these patients 90 days after treatment.” Spinal Decompression Therapy has saved many people from spinal surgery and allowed them to return to their regular active lifestyle.
