Spinal Decompression Therapy: Do you know what it means?
You may be asking, “What is spine decompression?” Simply stated, it is defined as the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves of the spinal column. It is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back pain such as a bulging disc, herniated disc, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. Spinal decompression can be achieved both surgically and non-surgically. If you are suffering from back pain caused by any of the conditions mentioned above, you may be a candidate for spinal decompression therapy, an effective alternative to invasive back surgery.
Spinal Decompression Therapy -- the safe, non-surgical alternative to surgery!
To find out if you are a candidate for spinal decompression therapy, seek the professional advice of a chiropractor who specializes in back pain. They don’t just mask the symptoms of pain with medication but treat the root cause. Spinal decompression therapy is promoted as safe and effective without the normal risks associated with invasive procedures such as injections, anesthesia or surgery.
With the use of advanced computer technology for decompression, a mechanical traction device is used to control the force and angle of disc distraction, reducing the body’s natural tendency to resist an external force. This enhanced control allows non-surgical spinal decompression tables to apply a traction force to the discs of the spinal column to reduce the pressure between each disc. Many patients have actually stated that they look forward to the treatment, as it is usually quite comfortable and well tolerated, with the added benefit of relieving their pain on a long-term basis.
