Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression in Hoboken, NJ
Hudson Family Chiropractic and Physical Therapy
Spinal Decompression in Hoboken, NJ: Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive, specialized technique designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, making it an ideal treatment for debilitating low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain. Whether you’re suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, or even spinal stenosis, our team can employ spinal decompression to help address your specific needs effectively. Decompression Therapy effectively relieves pain by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning. Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and often renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle
The procedure involves the use of a traction table that gently stretches and releases the spine. You are fully clothed during spinal decompression therapy. The doctor fits you with a harness and you either lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table. A doctor operates the computer, customizing treatment to your specific needs. This controlled stretching acts as a remarkable method for repositioning the spine and creating negative pressure within the affected areas. By creating this negative pressure, spinal decompression encourages the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, effectively relieving pressure on the nerves and facilitating the natural healing process.
One of the primary benefits of spinal decompression is pain relief. As the pressure on the affected discs diminishes, nerve irritation subsides, leading to a reduction in pain levels. This enhanced comfort enables individuals to experience increased mobility and perform daily activities with ease. Furthermore, spinal decompression stimulates the circulation of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to the spinal discs, assisting with their repair and restoration.
Apart from pain relief, spinal decompression also aids in the restoration of proper spinal alignment. By gently stretching and elongating the spine, this technique can realign the vertebral discs, promoting improved posture and spinal stability. Proper alignment not only prevents further damage to the spine but also prevents nerve impingement, which may cause pain, tingling, or weakness in different parts of the body.
The benefits of spinal decompression extend beyond physical relief. Many patients report an improvement in their overall mental well-being, as the reduction in pain and improved mobility instills a sense of joy and optimism. By restoring the spine’s health and function, spinal decompression empowers individuals to pursue an active lifestyle and engage in their daily activities without pain or limitations.
Is Spinal Decompression right for you?
Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, and failed back surgery cases. This treatment can help patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery. Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. After treatment, your doctor may prescribe specific exercises designed to help you regain proper control and strength of the stabilization muscles, which can help create long term benefits.

What Patients are Saying…
After injuring my back weight lifting, and suffering pain for over 2 weeks I knew I needed professional help. I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Bill Magill of Hudson Family Chiropractic who was excellent. The combination of heat therapy, stretching, and a few adjustments alleviated the pain completely in 3 sessions. I appreciated the fact that he took additional time and didn’t suggest or execute risky adjustments to my neck as others have tried to do in the past. I hope he continues to practice in Hoboken for a long time, and this review builds his clientele as we need to keep him in Hoboken

Exceptional service at the front desk at this clinic. Doctor Mike was excellent and really diagnosed the cause of pain on my back which was killing me for eight days. Literally left the office feeling so much better on the very first visit. The friendliness and professionalism was luxury. I can not wait to see the doctor again and continue to see and feel the results of my healing. Highly recommended. Amazing and relaxed atmosphere too.

I am a longtime patient of John and Mike and found their services to be professional, proficient, and effective. I can always count on getting an appointment in a reasonable time and getting in and out is fast. But recently, I needed the attention of a Physical Therapist, and that’s when they referred me to their therapist, Nicole.
My first meeting with Nicole was extremely pleasant and I was quickly impressed with her knowledge in her profession. She made me feel comfortable and she explained what was causing my pain and what her course of action would be. Within a few days, the pain had almost disappeared and I started for feel great. She continued to work with me and again, the appointments were around my schedule and we got to work and I was out the door never feeling rushed.
I want to personally thank the staff at Hudson Family Chiropractic, John and Mike for the work that they do and also Nicole for her skills in getting me back on my NEW bicycle.
Great job Guys.

It was my first visit and the entire experience was seamless. The staff was very communicative with me prior to my appointment, online registration made things a lot easier, and Bill was excellent. He took the information I provided and was able to help me get started with pain relief. Super happy I found them!
