Spinal Decompression in Naples, FL
Back pain can transform simple tasks—like lifting your child or sleeping soundly—into daily challenges. At Bergtold Chiropractic Naples Florida, board-certified Dr. James Bergtold, DC, uses FDA-approved spinal decompression to gently stretch your spine, relieving pressure on discs and nerves so your body can heal naturally. This non-invasive, medication-free therapy creates space for bulging or herniated discs to retract and rehydrate, easing discomfort and restoring mobility. Customized to your unique spine curve and condition, each 15–20-minute session feels relaxing and often delivers noticeable relief within just a few visits. Many patients with sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back stiffness benefit from spinal decompression as part of a larger care plan. We often pair it with laser therapy, gentle adjustments, or corrective exercises to improve long-term outcomes.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy at Bergtold Chiropractic in Naples, Florida, is performed on the advanced Hill DT Decompression Table. This table applies a gentle, precise force between the vertebrae, creating space that allows bulging discs to return to their normal position. The space created helps reduce nerve pressure, alleviating pain and promoting the rehydration of the discs. As a result, patients often experience reduced inflammation and enhanced healing. This non-invasive treatment is designed to restore spinal health and mobility without the need for surgery, offering a long-term solution for those suffering from back pain, sciatica, and herniated discs. Each session is comfortable, and the therapy is tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring optimal results.
Common Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
This approach addresses a range of spine-related issues, including:
- Herniated & Bulging Discs: Eases pressure to calm nerve discomfort.
- Sciatica: Reduces inflammation along the sciatic nerve for leg pain relief.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Replenishes disc moisture to improve shock absorption.
- Spinal Stenosis: Opens the canal space, relieving pinched nerves.
- Pinched Nerves: Alleviates tingling, numbness, and weakness.
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain: Targets underlying disc problems for lasting relief.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
This treatment is more than temporary relief, it helps heal the spine.
- Non-Surgical & Medication-Free: Avoid the risks of surgery or long-term medication use.
- Corrects the Root Issue: Realigns discs and reduces nerve compression.
- Quick Relief: Many patients experience noticeable improvement within 2 weeks.
- Improves Movement: Restores mobility and flexibility by freeing up compressed joints.
- Prevents Recurrence: Strengthens the spine to avoid future flare-ups.
By healing rather than masking symptoms, spinal decompression delivers long-lasting results.
What to Expect During a Spinal Decompression Session
Your treatment plan typically lasts about three months, divided into three stages:
Phase 1: Initial Healing (Weeks 1–4): Focuses on relieving pressure and decompressing discs. Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain within the first few sessions.
Phase 2: Joint & Disc Restoration (Weeks 5–8): Works on deeper tissue repair and realignment of the discs and joints.
Phase 3: Stabilization (Weeks 9–12): Reinforces the surrounding muscles and ligaments to ensure long-term spine health.
We regularly evaluate your progress throughout these stages to adjust your treatment as needed.
