What is Kennedy Decompression?

You likely know how debilitating back pain can be if you've ever suffered from it. Unfortunately, millions of Americans suffer from chronic back pain, and many of the solutions they have require prescription drugs or surgery. Kennedy Decompression is a non-surgical option for neck and back pain. Explore what spinal decompression therapy is and what it can do for you.

What Is Kennedy Decompression Therapy?

Kennedy Decompression Therapy is a traction-based, non-surgical treatment for disabling back, neck, leg, and arm pain. Decompression therapy can effectively relieve disc herniation, degenerative discs, posterior facet syndromes, and other spinal problems. This helps reduce pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through distraction and positioning created by decompression. When spinal decompression therapy is used correctly, it enhances the healing process. In addition, it provides immediate, amazing pain relief, allowing patients to return to a more active lifestyle as quickly as possible. The procedure was developed by prominent doctors, engineers, and technicians at major teaching hospitals.

Is Kennedy Decompression Therapy Right for You?

There has been significant success with Kennedy Decompression Therapy in treating bulging, herniated, degenerated, and ruptured discs, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases. A treatment like this helps patients avoid anesthesia, surgical complications, and back surgery. The first few sessions of Decompression Therapy are usually scheduled three to four times per week. Sessions typically last for 8 to 12 minutes. To relax muscles and promote further tissue healing, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, or a therapeutic laser may be used during each treatment session. After your doctor has treated you, you may be prescribed specific exercises to help you regain maximum control over your stabilization muscles, which can help create long-term benefits.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
