Spinal Decompression Treatment

Released Date: 2021-08-22

Spinal decompression treatment is a procedure also call nonsurgical decompression therapy that involves stretching the spine using a traction table or spinal decompression table with a motorized device to relieve leg pain, arm pain, back pain or neck pain.

What is Spinal Decompression Treatment?

Spinal Decompression treatment is a non- surgical, safe, and drug-free method of treatment for those patients who suffer from severe back pain and neck pain that is caused by spinal related conditions like disc problems.Spinal decompression therapy gently and slowly releases pressure in the spine after lengthening it through repetitive movements on the spinal decompression table. In the intervertebral disc surrounding spinal joints and soft tissues, a negative pressure change is created with the pulls and release of the decompression table. The decompression inside the disc allows the disc bulge. A physiological change is created by the surrounding structures and rehydration of the disc that assists the natural healing process and reduces pain levels in the body. Various researches in the same have also shown continuous and significant improvements for up to 4 years after the spinal decompression treatment.

The major reasons to consider spinal decompression treatment are:

1. Chronic back or neck pain that is not responding to the traditional spinal treatment

2. Leg/arm numbness and pain

3. Herniated or bulging discs.

4. Failed back surgery

5. Spinal Stenosis

6. Sciatica

7. Spondylosis

8. Pinched Nerves

9. Disc Degeneration

10. Facet Syndrome

How does the Spinal Decompression Treatment work?

When the herniated disc or bulging disc is not in alignment, it compresses the nerves nearby. The sending and receiving of messages by nerves from the central nervous system and brain are also blocked by this compression. This leads to chronic pain. The patients suffer from severe pain and other symptoms as long as the compression continues. Spinal Decompression Treatment provides room for the bulging or herniated disc by creating a space between the different vertebrae so that it is drawn back in the spine into its central position. This causes decompression and relieves pressure on the nerves and the surrounding soft tissues. The flow of nutrients, fluids, and oxygen back into the disc is facilitated with increased circulation by decompression in the spine or reversing the effects of axial load. This procedure helps to stimulate the healing mechanism of the body.

The Spinal Decompression Treatment includes 5 components that are:

1. Spinal Decompression Therapy

2. Post-Spinal Decompression Therapy

3. Chiropractic Care

4. Education on Nutrients

5. Core Strengthening and Posture Rehab

Benefits

The physical benefits of spinal decompression are reduction in pain levels, improved spinal mobility, enhanced postural integrity, development of core strength, boosts immunity system, increased joint flexibility, and lower stress levels. The physiological benefits of spinal decompression are increased blood flow, reduced intradiscal pressure, reduced nerve compression and disc rehydration with improved nutrient supply in it.
