Many Woodbridge patients spend hours a week on I-95, the Express Lanes, or the VRE. Long sitting puts steady load on the lower discs. At this office, decompression is usually paired with CBP posture correction so the spine handles the commute better once care ends.
Decompression slowly stretches the spine on a motorized table to lower the pressure on an irritated disc and nearby nerves. It is a non-surgical option we consider after a full exam.
When a low-back disc irritates a nerve, pain can travel into the hip and leg. We track how far the pain reaches and whether it moves back toward the spine as care goes on.
Dr. Hatam is certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics®, which measures posture and spinal alignment. Those findings shape how decompression and corrective exercises are set up for you.
Our Woodbridge office serves families connected to Marine Corps Base Quantico and Fort Belvoir, along with federal contractors and people in physical jobs. Lifting, gear, and long shifts can all strain the neck and low back. We accept VA Community Care referrals and Virginia workers' compensation claims.
Neck decompression may help when a disc or nerve root in the neck causes pain, headaches, or arm tingling. Settings start light and are adjusted visit by visit.
For lifting-related disc problems, low-back sessions target the lower lumbar levels. The force and angle are set for your size and diagnosis.
For workers' compensation and VA Community Care cases, our front desk coordinates documentation with employers, case managers, and referring providers.
