Spinal Decompression Therapy in Santa Barbara
Do you have a herniated disc, multiple herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, or any other type of spinal problem? Is your doctor suggesting surgery, pain management, or physical therapy? Perhaps you have tried chiropractic or other avenues and didn’t find relief.
Benefit From Our Leading Technology
Designed by a team of physicians and NASA engineers, this cutting-edge therapy has given our patients relief when other therapies have failed. We have been utilizing spinal decompression for years to address herniated and bulging discs in the neck and low back. It is also helpful for facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, and muscle spasms.
Spinal decompression therapy does not just alleviate the pain associated with these conditions. It targets the source of the pain and speeds up the healing process to provide long-term relief.
What to Expect
Your comfort is our top priority. Our team wants your visits to be enjoyable and successful. Each session is brief and administered while you’re fully clothed. Most patients undergoing this therapy report improvements and a reduction in their pain after only a few sessions.
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure from the discs, joints and muscular tissues, while enhancing your body’s natural healing process. The gentle distractive forces of the Titron® DTS improve blood flow and boost nutrient exchange to the injured area.
Therapy sessions typically last less than 30 minutes. Most patients feel pain relief with as few as 6-10 sessions. It is essential to remember, however, that pain subsiding does not infer that your discs and spine are healed, so patients must stick with the protocol prescribed by their practitioners to achieve the full value.
- Discogenic Pain: Discs lie between each of the spinal vertebrae and allow our spines to move and absorb shock. Discogenic pain refers to neck and back pain caused by the inflammation or damage to the discs. Decompression therapy alleviates pressure on discs and creates a physiological response call “imbibition” which promotes blood flow and healing.
- Nerve Pain: Nerve impingement can result in tingling, buzzing, numbness, severe pain, and even loss of motor function. The impingement can be caused by something mechanical such as a facet joint being misaligned, disc related conditions, or degenerative changes that cause narrowing of the exiting nerve roots.
In 2007 I was diagnosed with a 7mm disc herniation in my neck and was told by two doctors that I would need surgery. Instead, I opted for the conservative, non-surgical approach of Spinal Decompression Therapy. After two months of care, I had a second MRI, which showed that the disc-herniation had shrunk by 6mm! I am now virtually pain-free and I strongly recommend the treatments for anyone with disc issues.

Last Spring I became pain-free after working with Greg Perkins at Bissell Chiropractic. The multiple spinal decompression treatments and Greg’s focused exercises have meant that I, for the first time in years had no pain in my neck or lower back. I continue to benefit from these treatments. The results have been truly amazing. I am so grateful for the good care that I received at Bissell Chiropractic.
