Spinal Decompression
You’re In the Right Place for Spinal Decompression & Non-Surgical Pain Relief
Spinal decompression is an effective non-surgical technique that can relieve back pain, leg pain, and other symptoms associated with disc bulges, disc herniations, and other disorders of the spine. It works by gently imposing a traction or “pulling” force on both ends of the spine, either with a specialized mechanical device or with our chiropractor’s hands. Our doctor and our staff are proud to offer spinal decompression as just one of many services that makes a big difference in our patients’ quality of life and functional outcomes.
TOP 5 BENEFITS OF SPINAL DECOMPRESSION WITH DR. MIKE DIGRADO
​
Spinal decompression at our clinic is comfortable, non-surgical, and effective, plus, it offers several specific benefits for our patients with spine-related dysfunction:
​
1) Provides pain relief. Decompression can relieve tension in tight, spasoming, or injured muscles and stimulate the nervous system to release neuro-chemical signals that have an analgesic effect on the body. This can provide significant pain relief in as little as 1 to 3 sessions.
2) Promotes healing of spinal disc tissues. Decompression imposes a vacuum-like force on the spinal discs, which helps to draw healing fluids, cells, and other substances toward the damaged tissue.
3) Helps restore normal spinal disc and joint alignment. Things like stress, poor body mechanics, smoking, and other factors may cause joints to sublux (move out of place) or your discs to herniate. That same vacuum-like force that helps to realign the joints and discs, thus preventing further pain, inflammation, impaired mobility, and dysfunction.
4) Relieves pressure on spinal nerves. Spinal nerves can get pinched when discs, bones, or other tissues encroach on the small spaces through which the nerves exit the spinal column as they go on to innervate the body. Non-surgically decompressing the spine increases the space around these nerves, which may otherwise have become impinged and inflamed, thus allowing these nerves to begin healing.
5) Accelerates effectiveness of other healing approaches. At its core, spinal decompression helps to maximize your spinal health and function, and as we’ve heard the saying goes: a healthy spine supports a healthy body!
By maximizing your spinal health through decompression, other therapeutic approaches offered at True Wellness, including functional medicine and cold laser therapy, tend to work better and faster.
Cervical Decompression Treatments
Why our patients choose spinal decompression treatments:
(See below)
Sciatica: Pain affecting the back, hip, and outer side of the leg, caused by compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back, often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disk.
Bulging Discs: Spinal disc herniation is an injury to the cushioning and connective tissue between vertebrae, usually caused by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. It may result in back pain, pain or sensation in different parts of the body, and physical disability.
Herniated Disc: Spinal disc herniation is an injury to the cushioning and connective tissue between vertebrae, usually caused by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. It may result in back pain, pain or sensation in different parts of the body, and physical disability.
Spinal Stenosis: An abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen that results in pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. Symptoms are typically gradual in onset. Severe symptoms may include loss of bladder control, loss of bowel control, or sexual dysfunction.
Pain Due to Degenerative Disc Disease: Failure of disc material that degenerates and worsens over time
Pain Due to Degenerative Joint Disease: Chronic breakdown of cartilage in the joints
Dr. Digrado provides non-surgical spinal decompression in the Newport Beach, Ca and the surrounding area.

Many patients avoid surgery and live drug-free with this non-invasive, gentle treatment. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a safe treatment that is recommended by many healthcare providers worldwide.
Orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, chiropractors, pain management doctors, and physical therapists recommend the use of this innovative treatment prior to undergoing surgery. Patients no longer have to only rely on pain meds, steroid injections, physical therapy, muscle relaxants and invasive procedures.
Our clinic's goal is to provide a long-term solution for your health. We are here to empower you to take ownership of your health and to take the necessary steps to not only get help now but to take steps to help prevent future damage to your spine.

If you have tried many different therapies already, we know you are discouraged. This is normal. We often see patients that have bounced around from one provider or therapy to the next. This does make it more difficult, but not impossible. Don’t lose hope.
Don’t give up on your body. It is your birthright to be healthy and be able to recover from health challenges.
​
We have seen many patients live with daily pain for months or even years prior to meeting us. The good news is that there is a good chance that you don’t have to anymore. Your body has the ability to heal so you can get back to doing the things you love. We want to see you get back to exercising, gardening, working…being independent and out of pain.
