A spinal decompression session is more relaxing than most people expect. The patient lies comfortably on the decompression table, secured with a harness, while the table applies slow, gentle traction to the spine. There is no sharp sensation and no pain involved. Many patients simply rest during the session, which typically lasts a set number of minutes before easing off.
Because the treatment is gentle and non-invasive, a Pismo Beach patient can usually return to normal activity right afterward. Spinal decompression requires no recovery time and no downtime to plan around. When someone comes to Beacon Clinic for decompression, the experience is low-stress, which makes it easy to complete the series of sessions the treatment usually calls for.
