Back pain can be debilitating for millions of Americans every year. Chronic back pain treatment often involves the use of prescription drugs and or surgery. Spinal Decompression is a noninvasive medicine-free treatment.
Spinal Decompression Therapy Defined
In its most basic form, decompression therapy is a mechanized version of traction. This gentle non-surgical procedure often provides relief for neck and back pain. Traction works by stretching the spine resulting in a change in force and position of the spine removing pressure from the discs or nerves.
Chiropractors utilize a specialized table for spinal traction which is used only for this purpose. On this mechanized table, you are strapped into a special harness that goes around your head or it may wrap around your lower back depending on the injured area. it allows the machine, based on personalized settings, to place you in traction aka stretch you ever so gently with only as much pressure as assigned by your physician. When stretched fluid is directed to the discs that have been losing fluid to repair the discs.
Most patients will feel pain relief with as few as 6 to 10 treatments. Compression works best when combined with a directed exercise plan. Strengthening your core can help greatly with back pain.
Decompression Therapy Benefits
Decompression of the spine can help to negate the long hours of sitting most of us do here in the USA daily at work. Sitting in the same position day after day year after year can be wearing on the spinal discs and cause degeneration over time.
Patients with issues like degenerative discs, facet syndrome, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica are a great fit for decompression. It is not a good treatment fit for those who are pregnant, patients who have broken vertebrae, spinal fusion, or failed back surgeries.
