SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical treatment for the relief of upper and lower back pain. It involves stretching of the spine using a traction table by an on-board computer that controls the force and angle at which the disc distraction is being performed.

This type of motorized traction helps relieve back pain. It works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes the pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, so they can heal. This special therapy can help if you are in acute, chronic or sub-acute pain. Some of it is for active range of motion. The treatment is safe and painless, and a great option when looking for a conservative approach to spinal pain
