Alternative Treatments for Back Injuries
Spinal decompression is a natural and alternative to back surgery that treats lower back pain, neck pain, and pain originating from leg and arm problems. Spinal decompression is performed on a motorized traction decompression table where the spine is gently stretched to relieve pressure from herniated and bulging discs as well as nerves within the spine. Treatments may take 20-45 minutes. To get the most out of spinal decompression therapy, you may need five to seven weeks. A chiropractor can explain the process in more detail.
This treatment is recommended for people suffering from pain caused by a hernia or bulging disc. Receiving a spinal decompression increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen within the affected discs, which facilitates the healing process. This method allows you to avoid the risks and the long and painful recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
Spinal decompression may be an option for those suffering from:
- Sciatica pain
- Degenerative discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet Syndrome
- Numbness or pain in the extremities
Disorders of the disc are not the only conditions by which a person can receive a spinal decompression.
In addition to spinal decompression, other forms of therapy such as physiotherapy or massage therapy, may be recommended to relieve pain and treat your condition.
