What is Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy, commonly referred to as non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, works by stretching the spine using gravity or motorized traction. This essentially changes the force on the spine itself, which will take pressure off of the gel-like disks of the spine. By reducing this pressure your body is able to heal itself and relieve the pain. The specific length of time and pressure relief involved will vary from patient to patient, but in many cases it can provide results quite quickly.
What Conditions can Spinal Decompression Therapy Treat
Spinal decompression therapy has been used to treat a variety of different conditions for many years. The following are some of the conditions it is most commonly used to treat:
Sciatica – Sciatica is associated with pain, tingling and/or weakness in the back that travels down the leg.
Bulging Disk – A bulging (or herniated) disk is when the disk is not centered properly on the spine. This decompression therapy can help allow the disk to move back where it needs to be, effectively treating the condition.
Worn Spinal Joints – Worn joints are commonly caused by age or extreme use over time. Providing pressure relief can help reduce or even eliminate the pain associated with this condition.
Spinal Injury – If you have experienced a spinal injury of any type, this type of therapy may be a good option. It can relieve the pressure so facilitate your body’s own natural healing process quite effectively.
There are many other issues that can be treated with nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy. Working with our medical doctors, chiropractors and the rest of the team we can help determine whether or not this is a good option based on your specific situation.
