Spinal Decompression Therapy

The office of Dr. Raymond A. Semente is the prime destination for spinal decompression in St. James. If you are struggling to find an effective method of chronic pain relief that is not dependent upon invasive surgeries or potentially addictive painkillers, spinal decompression might prove to be the appropriate option for you.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?

The guiding principle behind spinal decompression therapy is that the gentle stretching of your spine results in constrictive pressure being taken off your spinal discs. At which time, the free flowing of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids throughout the structure of your spine can commence, promoting the healing of the damaged discs from the inside out. Spinal decompression therapy has been shown to provide patients with relief from a variety of conditions, including:

• • Bulging or Herniated Discs
  • Lower Back Pain
  • Pinched Nerves
  • Sciatica
  • Neck Pain
  • Leg Pain

What Can You Expect?

When you arrive at our office for your first spinal decompression in St. James, our staff will help you get set up on our state-of-the-art traction table, on which you will lie for the duration of your session while the motor moves back and forth to provide stretching. Individual sessions can last up to 45 minutes, and you may require anywhere between 5 and 50 sessions in order to feel the full effect. However, we want to be absolutely clear in saying that the nature of your particular treatment plan–whether you fall on the low or high end of the spectrum–will be determined entirely by your conversations with Dr. Semente. Please be sure to get an MRI scan prior to your appointment, and come prepared with the results.
