Chiropractic Spinal Decompression: A Non-Surgical Solution for Back Pain Relief
If you’re dealing with chronic back pain, sciatica, or a herniated disc in Kendall or the greater Miami area, you may be searching for a non-surgical, drug-free solution. At Divine Health Miami, Dr. Rafael Cervera offers an advanced treatment known as chiropractic spinal decompression therapy, providing lasting relief to patients who have tried everything else.
This blog explores what spinal decompression is, how it works, and why it might be the key to getting your life back without surgery or dependency on pain medication.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, traction-based treatment that gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on spinal discs, nerves, and joints. It is often used to treat:
Herniated or bulging discs
Sciatica and nerve compression
Degenerative disc disease
Facet syndrome
Chronic lower back pain
Neck pain
Unlike general chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression focuses specifically on releasing pressure within the spine and restoring disc health.
How Does It Work?
During treatment, the patient lies on a specialized decompression table controlled by a computer. Dr. Cervera programs the table to apply precise, controlled traction to the affected spinal segment.
This gentle stretching:
Creates negative pressure within the disc
Allows bulging or herniated discs to retract
Enhances nutrient and oxygen flow to the injured area
Reduces inflammation and nerve pressure
The result? Pain relief, improved mobility, and faster healing from the inside out.
Who Is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
You may benefit from spinal decompression therapy if you:
Have been diagnosed with a herniated or bulging disc
Suffer from chronic lower back or neck pain
Experience sciatica, numbness, or tingling
Have tried painkillers or injections with little success
Want to avoid spinal surgery
Dr. Rafael Cervera performs a full spinal exam, X-rays (if needed), and a postural evaluation to determine if spinal decompression is right for you.
Why Choose Spinal Decompression Over Surgery?
Surgery is not your only option. In fact, many patients find lasting relief through spinal decompression and chiropractic care, without the risks of anesthesia, long recovery times, or surgical complications.
Benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression:
✅ No incisions or downtime
✅ Gentle and safe for most ages
✅ Lower cost than surgery
✅ Can be combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehab
What to Expect During Treatment
Each spinal decompression session lasts between 20–30 minutes. Most patients begin with 2–3 sessions per week for several weeks, depending on the severity of their condition.
You may also receive:
Chiropractic adjustments
Soft tissue therapy or myofascial release
At-home posture and stretching exercises
Patients often experience relief within a few sessions, with continued improvement over the course of treatment.
