At Vanguard Spine & Sport in Houston Heights, we pride ourselves on providing compassionate, coordinated spinal decompression treatments for many different spine pain-related conditions. Our team of physicians are specialists in conservative pain management and lifestyle optimization, ensuring each patient is provided with the best course of care and the best possible outcomes. Through a collaborative approach, we tailor personalized treatment plans that precisely address each patient’s specific spinal condition and healthcare goals.

Our state-of-the-art pain clinic is located in Houston Heights, often referred to simply as “The Heights,” a vibrant and historic neighborhood located in northwest-central Houston, Texas. This area is known for its rich history, unique character, and strong sense of community, making it one of Houston’s most desirable areas to live, visit, and receive care.

Neck and back discomfort often arises when your spine is subjected to compression. This compression often results from issues like disc herniations, muscle strains, the effects of whiplash, or extended periods of sitting or standing.

To alleviate this pressure, our team of physicians at Vanguard Spine & Sport in Houston Heights uses spinal decompression therapy to gently ease these issues affecting the neck and back. Additionally, spinal decompression therapy aids in enhancing tissue repair and hydration by promoting increased blood circulation to the affected area.

The cutting-edge spinal decompression table at our Houston Heights location is equipped with sophisticated sensors, ensuring precise measurements and monitoring for each of our patients in the Houston area throughout their spinal decompression treatments.

Deciding if spinal decompression therapy is the right course of treatment is the first step in our Houston Heights team’s three-part approach to personalized, conservative pain management. Spinal decompression therapy is recommended for a variety of conditions:

• Muscle Strain: An injury to the muscle or the tendons attached to the muscle, commonly due to overstretching or overuse.
• Whiplash Injuries: Neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes neurological symptoms typically caused by a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like that experienced in a car accident.
• Arthritis: In the spine, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, commonly seen in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Spinal Stenosis: Numbness or weakness in the legs or arms caused by the narrowing of spaces in the spine, which creates pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
• Herniated Discs: When the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer, causing pain and nerve irritation.
• Sciatica: Pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs.
• Lumbar Radiculopathy: Nerve pain in the lumbar (lower back) region of the spine due to compression or irritation of nerve roots.
• Intervertebral Joint Dysfunction: Dysfunction or abnormal movement of the intervertebral joints that can lead to pain and limited mobility.
• Lumbar Facet Syndrome: A disorder affecting the facet joints in the lumbar spine, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the lower back.
• Spondylolisthesis: When one of the vertebrae slips out of place onto the vertebra below it, often due to a defect, fracture, or degenerative changes in the spine, it causes pain and nerve compression.

For the best results, spinal decompression therapy sessions should be repeated in our Houston Heights pain clinic multiple times per week or month to alleviate chronic neck and back pain. Since it often takes years of trauma to compress the structures in the spine, spinal decompression is a gradual method that occurs over a series of visits. Our team of pain experts at Vanguard Spine & Sport will outline a spinal decompression therapy plan to help you understand the timeline and what to expect during your treatment.
