Albuquerque Spinal Decompression chiropractor

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a safe, non-invasive therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine. Through the use of specialized equipment, gentle stretching is applied to the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure helps to retract bulging or herniated discs, promoting the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disc space for healing.

At 1st Health Inc., we use modern spinal decompression technology combined with customized chiropractic techniques to treat a wide range of back and neck conditions. Whether you suffer from chronic pain or an acute injury, spinal decompression could be the solution you’ve been seeking.
