    Treatment for Spinal Decompression

    Spinal decompression therapy Singapore at Re:Chiropractic Lavender is a safe, non-surgical
    treatment that uses computerised traction technology to gently relieve pressure on the compressed spinal
    discs and nerves.

    Unlike surgery, this treatment requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime.

    Our American-trained chiropractors use specialized equipment to carefully stretch the spine —
    creating negative pressure that allows the herniated or bulging discs to retract naturally.

    This gentle decompression reduces pressure on spinal nerves — providing relief from neck pain,
    lower back pain, sciatica and disc-related conditions that have not responded to other
    treatments.

    What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

    Depend on the severity and how complicated the case is.

    Each decompression therapy session can last anytime from 15 minutes to 25 minutes.

    Common Questions
    About Spinal Decompression

    What is the difference between Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression?
    Chiropractic is a system of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulation of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are believed to affect the nerves, muscles, and organs. We will always recommend both treatments for patients who are suitable for Spinal Decompression Therapy.
    How effective is Spinal Decompression?
    In a study involving 219 patients, 86% of the treatments were successful. After treatment, patients rated themselves on the Oswestry Pain Scale, with a reduction of pain to 1 or 0 indicating success. 188 patients reported significant pain reduction without the need for medication. The remaining patients also showed improvements in pain and disability scores.
