Spinal decompression is a treatment that can help relieve pain from trapped nerves. The spinal cord is surrounded by bones, muscles, and other tissues. These structures protect the spinal cord and allow it to move freely. However, they can also put pressure on the spinal cord and cause pain.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It also helps to increase blood flow and improve nutrient absorption. Spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment that is safe and effective. It is often used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and pinched nerves.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This helps to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Spinal decompression can be done using a machine or manually. The device uses a computer to control the amount of traction and tension applied to the spine. This type of traction is called mechanical traction.
Manual traction does not use a machine. Instead, a therapist applies manual force to the spine. This type of traction is called manual traction. Spinal decompression can be done with both types of traction. The kind of traction used depends on the patient’s condition and preference.
What Are the Benefits of Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions that cause back pain. These conditions include herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, sciatica, and facet syndrome. Spinal decompression can also help to improve blood flow and nutrient absorption in the discs and joints of the spine.
Conclusion
Spinal decompression is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions that cause back pain, including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, sciatica, and facet syndrome. Spinal decompression can also help to improve blood flow and nutrient absorption in the discs and joints of the spine. If you are considering this treatment option, please consult with our doctors or physical therapist to see if it is right for you.
