Non-Surgical Spinal
Decompression in St. Louis
Are you living with the debilitating pain of a herniated disc, sciatica or degenerative disc disease? If you're seeking a powerful, non-surgical solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort, spinal decompression therapy at Metro Chiropractic could be your answer. We offer a path to lasting relief without invasive procedures.
Spinal decompression is a safe, gentle and effective therapy designed to relieve pressure on the lower back, neck and radiating leg and arm pain. Our spinal decompression therapy uses a sophisticated, computer-controlled table, the Triton Decompression Traction System or Triton DTS, to apply a specific, gentle stretching force to your spine.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
This process creates a negative pressure within the targeted disc, almost like a vacuum. This vacuum effect can help pull bulging or herniated disc material back into place and draw healing nutrients, oxygen and moisture into the disc to promote natural healing. Unlike simple traction, this targeted approach allows the spine to decompress without the body’s natural muscle guarding response, making the therapy more effective and comfortable.
What to Expect on Your Journey to Relief
We want you to feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Here is what your spinal decompression journey at Metro Chiropractic will look like:
1. Your Comprehensive Diagnosis: Your first visit is all about getting answers. We will conduct a thorough physical examination and use our on-site digital X-ray technology to analyze the biomechanics of your spine. This critical step allows us to pinpoint the exact segments that need to be treated.
​
2. Your Decompression Session: During your treatment, you will lie comfortably on our Triton DTS. This FDA-approved system is clinically proven to provide relief and is the cornerstone of our therapy. A secure harness will be fitted to you, and the doctor will input the precise settings for your specific condition. You will feel a gentle stretching and relaxation in your spine as the table cycles through its programmed movements. Each session typically lasts approximately 20 minutes.
​
3. Your Customized Treatment Plan: Spinal decompression is not a one-time fix. It is a therapy that works over a series of sessions. Based on your diagnosis, we will create a personalized plan that outlines the recommended number and frequency of your treatments to ensure the best and most lasting results.
