Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression therapy is a safe, non- surgical and drug free treatment method for patients who suffer from chronic neck and back pain caused by disc problems and other spinal related conditions. A decompression treatment gently lengthens and releases the spine through repetitive movements by the decompression therapy. Spinal decompression is a type of traction therapy applied to the spine in an attempt to bring about several theoretical benefits including:
- Create a negative intradiscal pressure to promote retraction or repositioning of the herniated or bulging disc material.
- Create a lower pressure in the disc that will cause an influx of healing nutrients and other substances into the disc.
Physiological Benefits:
- Increases blood flow, improving nutrient supply into the disc.
- Decreases intradiscal pressure
- Promotes the regression of disc herniation
- Reduces nerve compression
- Facilitates disc rehydration
Physical Benefits:
- Decreases pain levels
- Improves spinal mobility
- Reduces muscle guarding
- Enhances postural integrity
- Develops core strength
- Increases joint flexibility
- Lowers stress levels
- Boosts the immune system
- Prevents new injuries
- Promotes wellness
INDICATIONS- lower back pain, sciatica (leg pain), or neck pain caused by a herniated disc, bulging disc, or degenerated disc.
