Spinal Decompression is a manual technique designed to aid in treating the symptoms of low back and neck aches caused by inflamed, herniated, deteriorated or displaced discs. In a situation where other forms of treatments such as acupuncture, physical therapy and pain relievers have failed, manual spinal decompression can help provide substantial pain relief.
Spinal decompression work effectively for conditions such as:
Spinal decompression therapy removes pressure off shock-absorbing discs in the vertebrae. Health conditions such as chronic poor posture and spinal injury can damage these discs, thus hampering their normal cushioning functions. Chiropractors perform decompression by making a coordinated pull at the top of the spine to free the entire vertebra between the sacrum and the base of the skull.
This pull induces negative pressure on the inside of the spinal cord disc, ultimately causing a vacuum that will restore the bulging and extruded disc back to its position. The vacuum also draws fluids, nutrients and oxygen into the disc to bring revitalization and circulation.
Restoring the shape of the disc relieves pressure off pinched nerves and consequently provides alleviation from back and neck pain.
Proper body and spine alignment is usually a multi-dimensional condition that demands a multi-dimensional approach. People who suffered spinal injury may need chiropractic care to readjust subluxations (misaligned vertebrae). However, disc issues may still persist and require attention even after the vertebrae are restored to their normal positions. This is the reason complementary therapies like spinal decompression are necessary to manage or repair aspects of neck pain, back pain, sciatica, spinal injury and headaches.
Spinal decompression is not harmful to most people and is particularly helpful when drugs and surgery are not the best options. An expert chiropractor will perform an extensive examination and evaluate your medical records to ensure there are no underlying conditions that can cause issues afterward. Patients with obesity, advanced osteoporosis, extensive nerve damage and pregnancy are not the best candidates for spinal decompression.
The answer to this depends on the nature of your condition and the speed at which your spine responds to decompression. Normally, the pain should reduce immediately after lifting the compression from the discs. In most cases, patients experience long-lasting relief after about four to eight sessions.
Most people do not encounter pain during the procedure. In fact, you may experience substantial relief from pain.
As with all surgeries, spinal decompression surgery is invasive and poses the threat of infections or side effects caused by medications or anesthesia. Manual spinal decompression, on the other hand, is medication-free and non-invasive. The procedure is entirely natural and can restore you back to health in no time.
