Many people that live with pain ask, “Is spinal decompression therapy effective?” Spine decompression therapy, combined with rehabilitation, helps re-educate muscles, ligaments, and tendons, so the discs are protected in a healthier environment in the spine. 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 treating and relieving their pain.
Is spinal decompression therapy effective, you ask? Non-invasive spine decompression therapy is safe and effective without the usual risks associated with injections, anesthesia, or surgery. Each session of treatment is generally comprised of a series of 15 one-minute alternating decompression and relaxation cycles. Treatment slowly and gently stretches the area of the spine while decompressing the discs. This technique often allows for pressure to be relieved from the nerve root and promotes repositioning of the bulging or herniated disc. The frequency the number of sessions prescribed will vary with each patient, taking into account the type of injury to the body, and the severity of the pain.
