Spinal Decompression Results

What our patients come to us for

Results depend on the condition being treated. These are the problems we see most often at the Dún Laoghaire clinic, and what decompression is doing in each case.

• Herniated and bulging discs

  Negative pressure inside the disc helps retract the herniation, easing the pressure it puts on the nerve root.

• Sciatica and leg pain

  Separating and elongating the vertebrae relieves the compression and irritation behind referred leg pain.

• Spinal stenosis

  Decompressing the spine opens the nerve canal, which is what restricts mobility in stenosis.

• Chronic back pain

  Gentle traction takes load off the discs and nerves so inflammation can settle and healing can begin.

• Degenerative disc disease

  Treatment aims at the stiffness and loss of disc height that comes with degeneration, not just the pain.

• Neck pain

  The same traction principle applied to the cervical spine, usually over a shorter course of sessions.
