Is Cervical Spinal Decompression Right for You?

Thinking about undergoing cervical spinal decompression? Many people are choosing chiropractic care, as this alternative treatment option is one that can help to relieve any discomfort or pain someone is experiencing in their body. Ready to find out what happens during a cervical spinal decompression session?

How cervical spinal decompression works

Understanding how cervical spinal decompression works is important, as this allows patients to determine whether or not  treatment is right for them. The first thing that needs to be understood is that this is a non-surgical treatment option, which is what many people are wanting because it avoids long recovery times and extreme pain.

During the cervical spinal decompression, the patient will lie down on a motorized chiropractic table. The chiropractor will attach the patient to a special harness. This harness is attached to the table, so when the table is programmed to move in a certain way, it gently pulls the patient's spine in a way that benefits their health.

The actual cervical spinal decompression process tends to take somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. When it comes to how many sessions a patient will need, it simply depends on each patient's particular situation. Most patients will need to undergo multiple sessions over several weeks in order to see results. 

Who can benefit from this alternative therapy option?

Cervical spinal decompression is an option that is used to treat neck problems. Those who are suffering from neck pain will almost always find benefits from the treatment process. However, just like with anything, there is the potential for it not to work, which is why it is important to consult with a chiropractor first. They can determine what will be best for the patient. 

When it comes to the type of neck pain and/or neck problems requiring treatment, cervical spinal decompression tends to work ideally for those who are living with radiating neck pain or chronic neck pain. Patients who have been diagnosed with one or even both of these neck-related problems can expect to reap the most benefits. Those living with radiating neck pain often experience dramatic improvements, while those living with chronic neck pain often experiencing good improvements.

When considering cervical spinal decompression, most chiropractors recommend against patients who are extremely obese or pregnant. Additionally, patients that have severe nerve damage or osteoporosis should look into alternative options as cervical spinal decompression will not likely be beneficial. It is also not advised for patients that patients have a diagnosed fracture or metal implants in their spine, as these can get in the way of the treatment process.
