Low back pain affects thousands of people everyday. Many turn to expensive and addicting medications, painful surgery, or even injections to relieve the symptoms. We are here to tell you that there is another solution, Decompression Treatment.
Decompression is an axial movement that stretches the spine, reducing pressure on the affected spinal discs and nerves. This reduction in pressure is meant to reduce chronic low back pain. During your decompression treatment, you lie on your stomach while a computerized table separates gently while you are supported at your ankles. As the table slowly separates, punctuated by a pause, your back is stretched. If you are uncomfortable, letting go of your handgrip releases the tension on your back.
The treatment is not recommended for people with severe degenerative spinal conditions, recent surgeries, or unstable spinal conditions.
What is Decompression?
Decompression therapy is described as an alternative, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure of applying gentle stretching to the lumbar spine. It is used for the treatment of low back pain associated with lumbar disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, sciatica, and radiculopathies. The goals are to relieve the patient disabling low back pain and return them to normal function. An average course of treatment of therapy consists of daily sessions for approximately 25-35 days. Frequency and repetition is critical in the treatment of these conditions. Decompression is effective, safe, cost-effective, and offers hope for the millions of people who suffer from low back pain everyday.
What to Expect After Treatment?
After a decompression treatment session, you can expect to return to your usual daily activities. Continue to avoid bending, lifting, or twisting in a way that might typically injure your back. Some patients come off the table with some additional pain due to laying on their stomachs, however, this pain typically will go away after the doctor performs therapy.
The Demand For Decompression
Public demand and acceptance by physicians is driving the expansion of decompression centers throughout the U.S. and is making it the standard of care for chronic and acute back pain. For suffers of low back pain, decompression can truly be your answer to ending years of discomfort.
