Spinal Decompression Therapy

Pain can cause a lot of discomfort especially if it is keeping you from running your day to day life efficiently. The pain is caused majorly by severe spinal compression and swollenness. Spinal decompression therapy is a treatment solution for such pain. It uses friction to relieve pain in the legs, arms, neck or back, by rotating through interruption and relaxation episodes and by keeping the client positioned in a certain way.

What conditions can it treat?

A herniated spinal disc can be misaligned and kept under continuous critical physical force creating a vacancy in it. In spinal decompression therapy, critical force is generated in the disc, and the herniated disc that is bulging is placed back to its original position allowing the healing process to take place. It is mostly effective on spinal stenosis, raptured discs, sciatica, facet syndrome and failed surgery. The treatment is very friendly.

The cerebellum which is found in the lower brain has two hemispheres. The right and left hemispheres command the spinal muscles each on its side. If the cerebellum is not working optimally and there is a lack of balance, then stress can be experienced on the spine, and it can become extremely swollen. This translates into an unbearable pain that often limits movement. There is a range of therapies that can be employed to get rid of the problem, for example, light stimulation, balance therapy, sound therapy, eye exercises, vibration therapy and manipulation of the joints.

General chiropractic care and physical therapy can also be applied to help cure the pain. The first thing is to improve the patient's stance by making the nerves and joints to function properly and exercising so as to build up and retrain muscles. This type of treatment almost always works out for back pains even where surgeries have been unsuccessful.

Important things to note

Spinal decompression therapy is FDA approved, drug-free and it does not involve surgery hence it does not have adverse side effects. This type of therapy is however not advisable for pregnant women, people with critical osteoporosis, intense obesity, and acute nerve damage. Also, patients who have undergone surgery with screws or metal plates cannot undergo this treatment.
