Spinal Decompression Therapy
Chronic back or neck pain can make it hard to do even the simplest of tasks. People often experience pain from conditions like bulging or herniated discs in the spine, placing pressure on nerves and other spinal structures. One way to help alleviate some of the discomfort is to add spinal decompression therapy to your individualized treatment program.
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a treatment aimed at alleviating back pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. This therapy is designed to relieve pressure on the spine’s discs and nerve roots without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal decompression therapy involves the use of specialized equipment that gently stretches the spine. This stretching creates a negative pressure within the disc space, which can help to:
- Reduce pressure on the spinal discs.
- Promote the retraction of herniated or bulging discs.
- Enhance the flow of nutrients to the affected discs and tissues.
- Facilitate the healing of damaged tissues.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
- Pain Relief: Many patients experience a reduction in pain and discomfort after undergoing spinal decompression therapy.
- Improved Function: The therapy can help restore mobility and function, making it easier to perform daily activities.
- Reduced Need for Medication: By addressing the underlying cause of pain, decompression therapy can potentially reduce reliance on pain medications.
- Avoidance of Surgery: For some patients, non-surgical decompression therapy offers an alternative to more invasive surgical options.
