How Spinal Decompression Relieves Back Pain, Sciatica & Leg Weakness – Backed by Research

Chronic back pain, sciatica, and leg weakness can disrupt daily life, making even simple tasks a struggle. Many individuals believe surgery or medication are their only options—but at Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, we provide a proven, non-surgical alternative.

Spinal decompression therapy has been clinically shown to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall spinal health. A study following patients with an average of 10 years of chronic lower back pain found that after just two weeks of decompression therapy, pain scores decreased by 50%. After completing a six-week treatment protocol, 88.9% of patients reported significant relief.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy uses a gentle, computer-controlled stretching technique to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This process:

✔ Creates negative pressure within the spine, promoting disc rehydration

✔ Reduces the size of bulging or herniated discs

✔ Relieves pressure on pinched nerves

✔ Enhances circulation, encouraging natural healing

A Journal of Neuroimaging study titled "MRI Evidence of Nonsurgical, Mechanical Reduction, Rehydration & Repair of the Herniated Lumbar Disc" found that 17 out of 20 patients experienced significant pain relief, and many reported complete resolution of weakness and immobility. MRI scans confirmed measurable disc improvement, directly correlating with pain reduction.

Conditions That Benefit from Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is highly effective for conditions such as:

🔹 Herniated or bulging discs

🔹 Sciatica and radiating nerve pain

🔹 Degenerative disc disease

🔹 Spinal stenosis

🔹 Facet syndrome

🔹 Chronic lower back pain

By addressing the root cause of spinal pain, spinal decompression therapy helps many patients avoid surgery and long-term medication use, providing a safer, long-term solution.
