Spinal decompression therapy uses controlled traction to gently separate the vertebrae and create space within the disc. When a disc is herniated or bulging into a nerve root, decompression reduces that pressure by encouraging the disc material to retract. The result is less compression on the nerve and a corresponding reduction in the neuropathy symptoms that compression was producing.
Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic offers spinal decompression as part of a neuropathy treatment plan for patients near San Luis Obispo, California. Dr. Bronstein determines whether the neuropathy presentation is consistent with disc-related compression before recommending decompression. That clinical judgment is what separates targeted care from generic treatment.
