What Is Cervical Decompression?
Cervical decompression is a proven and effective, Noninvasive procedure that relieves severe Neck Pain due to Disc herniation, bulges, degeneration as well as stenosis and even headaches.
Cervical decompression restores function and decreases
pain by:
1. mobilizing muscles, ligaments, and joints
2. reduces disc pressure
3. relieves nerve root compression increases blood flow

What Conditions Can Cervical Decompression Treat?
The Cervical Disc: Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the space between each vertebral disc has gradually decreased over time. Cervical decompression will slow this progression and in many cases can reverse the process over time.
Disc Herniation occurs when the soft gel like center (nucleus) of a vertebral disc pushes through a tear in the more fibrous outer casing (annulus).
These conditions can cause symptoms such as pain that radiates down the arm, numbness or tingling and/or weakness in the arm or hand.
Cervical Stenosis:
Cervical stenosis is a multifaceted condition in which the spinal canal or lateral foramen are too small for the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. There are a number causes for spinal stenosis from congenital (born with a small spinal canal) to injuries like herniated discs, thickening ligaments and/or overgrowth of bone more commonly called arthritis.
These conditions can cause symptoms such as pain that radiates down the arm, numbness or tingling and/or weakness in the arm or hand.
Headaches:
Cervicogenic headaches occur when an injury to the neck refers pain into the head and/or face. More often these types of headaches are single sided and start off with intermittent pain that can progress to constant pain. Common causes are spinal misalignments and muscle spasm as a result of poor posture (micro trauma), trauma (accident or injury) and/or stress.
