Spinal Decompression Therapy for Back Pain Relief

Most people have experienced some level of back pain. Whether it’s from your job, exercise, or just everyday wear and tear, your back works hard. If you are in search of back pain relief, nonsurgical spinal decompression may be the solution. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that can help reduce and relieve back pain. It involves gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure off the vertebrae. When that pressure is released, discs that may be herniated or bulging can retract which means less pressure on the nerves in your back.

When pressure is released, it allows for better flow of nutrients, oxygen, and water to your discs so they can heal themselves naturally. Spinal decompression can help treat:

• Degenerative disc disorders
• Neck pain, back pain, and sciatic pain
• Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
• Worn spinal joints
• Degenerated or bulging discs

Is Spinal Decompression Safe?

Spinal decompression offers an alternative to risky surgeries and drugs. It is a non-invasive therapy that provides gentle decompression of the spinal discs and gently elongates the spine. The results from existing studies show it is a safe and effective treatment.

Is Spinal Decompression Effective?

Nonsurigcal spinal decompression therapy has been around for many years. Many people who are told back surgery is their only option have found relief with the help of spinal decompression therapy.

An article in the Orthopedic Technology Review titled “Surgical Alternatives: Spinal Decompression” found that 86% of patients studied reported an immediate resolution of symptoms and 84% remained pain-free for 90 days after treatment. A whopping 92% of the patients showed improvement!
