Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy in Rhode Island
Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, gentle treatment designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, relieving conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we use advanced decompression technology to carefully stretch the spine, creating negative pressure that retracts herniated discs and increases blood flow to affected areas. This therapy offers a safe, effective solution for patients looking for long-term pain relief and improved spinal health.
Conditions Treated with Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy
Our decompression therapy is effective for a variety of spine-related conditions, including:
- Herniated Discs: Alleviates pain and promotes healing by creating space between vertebrae, relieving pressure on herniated discs.
- Sciatica: Reduces compression on the sciatic nerve to ease the radiating leg pain and numbness associated with sciatica.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Helps reduce pain and stiffness caused by disc degeneration by improving disc hydration and flexibility.
- Spinal Stenosis: Relieves pain and discomfort associated with spinal canal narrowing, allowing for improved function.
- Pinched Nerves: Decompression reduces nerve impingement, helping relieve symptoms like tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness.
How Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy Works
Decompression Therapy gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the spinal discs. This negative pressure helps retract herniated or bulging discs back into place, relieving pressure on the surrounding nerves. The process also promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs, which accelerates healing and helps reduce inflammation. By addressing the root causes of spinal pain, decompression therapy provides relief that is both immediate and lasting.
Benefits of Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy
Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy offers a range of benefits, especially for those seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery, including:
- Pain Relief: Reduces pressure on spinal nerves and discs, alleviating pain and discomfort.
- Improved Mobility: Restores proper spinal function, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of movement.
- Non-Invasive Solution: Provides a safe, effective alternative to surgical intervention for spine-related conditions.
- Supports Natural Healing: Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the spinal discs, accelerating tissue repair and recovery.
What to Expect During a Decompression Therapy Session
During a session, you’ll lie on a specialized decompression table where a harness is gently secured around your lower back or neck, depending on the treatment area. The table then slowly stretches the spine, applying intermittent traction to the targeted area. You may feel a gentle stretching sensation, which is usually relaxing. Each session typically lasts 20-30 minutes, and most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, depending on the severity of your condition.
Complementary Therapies
Cervical and Lumbar Decompression Therapy can be combined with other chiropractic treatments to maximize results, including:
- Spinal Adjustments to correct misalignments and further relieve nerve pressure
- Rehabilitation Exercises to strengthen supportive muscles and improve stability
- Massage Therapy to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
