Spinal Decompression Therapy
in Central Jersey

At Bod Medical, we understand how deeply back pain can impact your quality of life. That’s why we’re proud to offer spinal decompression therapy in Central Jersey, using the advanced Back on Trac spinal decompression system by Ergoflex Technology. This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on discs and nerves, helping to relieve pain and improve mobility.

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a therapeutic technique that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This process helps reposition bulging or herniated discs, promotes circulation of oxygen and nutrient-rich fluids, and supports the body’s natural healing process.

At Bod Medical, we use the advanced Back on Trac spinal decompression system by Ergoflex Technology, which allows for customized, comfortable, and precise spinal traction without the restraints or discomfort of older decompression methods. The system provides controlled movement and adjustable angles to target specific areas of the spine for optimal results.

Spinal decompression is especially effective for patients with herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back pain. Many patients experience lasting pain relief, improved flexibility, and restored mobility after a series of treatments, all without surgery, medication, or downtime.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that relieves pressure on spinal discs and nerves to target the root cause of back pain. At Bod Medical in Central Jersey, we use the Back on Trac spinal decompression system, an advanced technology that gently stretches the spine to promote healing and restore function. What makes Back on Trac unique is that it combines the benefits of decompression with therapeutic exercise. The system not only relieves pressure and improves disc health but also incorporates controlled movement to strengthen supporting muscles and stabilize the spine. This innovative approach provides both immediate pain relief and long-term improvement in mobility and spinal health.

Your Spinal Decompression Consultation

Before starting spinal decompression at Bod Medical, you will meet with our experienced team for a thorough consultation. We assess your medical history, symptoms, and any previous treatments to determine if this therapy is right for you. Our staff will explain the process in detail and answer any questions so you feel comfortable and prepared for your sessions.

What to Expect During Treatment

At the start of your spinal decompression session, you will be comfortably positioned on a specialized treatment table. The provider will secure you with harnesses to gently stabilize your upper and lower body. This careful setup ensures your safety and allows the therapy to target the affected spinal areas effectively.

Once you are properly positioned, the spinal decompression device will slowly and gently stretch your spine. This process relieves pressure on discs and nerves, promoting the flow of nutrients and fluids to aid healing. Most patients find the session relaxing and may feel a gentle pulling sensation.

Throughout the session, the provider monitors your comfort and progress, making adjustments as needed for optimal results. The equipment can be customized to your condition and tolerance levels to ensure a safe, effective treatment. Communication with your provider during the session helps address any discomfort immediately.

After the therapy is complete, you will be gently released from the harnesses and assisted off the table if needed. Your provider may offer guidance on post-session care or recommend additional therapies to support your recovery. Most patients can return to their usual activities right after treatment, often experiencing gradual pain relief over multiple sessions.

Recovery and Aftercare

What to Expect After Treatment

After your spinal decompression session at Bod Medical, most patients can resume normal daily activities right away. Some may notice mild soreness or stiffness, which typically resolves within a day or two. It is important to follow any specific instructions provided by your provider to maximize your results and ensure a smooth recovery.

Managing Discomfort

Mild discomfort after spinal decompression is uncommon but can occur, especially if your body is adjusting to the therapy. Applying ice or a cold pack as directed may help reduce any temporary soreness. Always communicate with your provider if you experience unusual pain or symptoms following your session.

Supporting Your Healing

Your provider may recommend gentle stretches or specific exercises to support spinal health between sessions. Staying active within your comfort level and avoiding heavy lifting can help promote healing. Following your individualized care plan will help you achieve the best long-term results from spinal decompression.

Follow-Up and Progress

Regular follow-up appointments allow your provider to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. Many patients notice gradual improvements over several sessions. Consistent communication and attendance at scheduled visits ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your spinal decompression therapy.

Timeline for Noticing Results

Most patients begin to notice improvements in pain and mobility within a few sessions of spinal decompression. However, optimal results typically develop over several weeks, as the spine gradually heals and inflammation decreases. Consistency with appointments and following your provider’s recommendations can help you achieve the best outcome from your treatment plan.
