How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
You may have been told that your only solution to pain caused by a herniated disc or compressed area is to have surgery. When you are not ready to have a surgical intervention, spinal decompression can make a significant difference. This therapy works by opening up the space between your vertebrae using gentle adjustments and stretching. When the space opens up and your disc is no longer being compressed, it has a good chance of healing. Nerve endings will no longer be pinched, and the inflammation in your compressed nerve should calm down.
What to Expect from Spinal Decompression Treatment
Decompressing an area in your spine will take time. Gentle adjustments, traction, and stretching can all ease some tension in your back. Spinal decompression is a process, and you can expect to visit with a chiropractor for a few months to fully feel the benefits of this therapy. As you go through treatment, your symptoms should improve. If you are taught strengthening exercises to do at home, these will help you progress more rapidly in treatment. When you are committed to the process of healing your back, the overall treatment is going to be more effective.
