Back pain is first among causes of disability in those under 45, and third among those over 45. The back pain and symptoms of many spinal diseases can be effectively treated with spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy can even help some people to avoid surgery. Spinal decompression is a way for people to get relief from disc-related cervical spine pain without using drugs or surgery. Many patients have had success treating things like herniated discs, facet syndrome, bulging discs, joint disease, pinched nerves, and other afflictions with spinal decompression. Spinal decompression therapy can be used for:

• Bulging or herniated discs: The spinal discs between the vertebrae of your spine can become herniated.
• Sciatic nerve problems: Problems with your sciatic nerve can cause leg pain.
• Degenerative disc disease: The spinal discs between your vertebrae can degenerate over time.
• Posterior facet syndrome: The facet joints in your lower back can become degenerated, causing back pain.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that results in pressure on the spinal cord.
• Pinched nerves: Issues with nerves in the spine which can cause neck pain, back pain, and other issues.

In cases of excessive obesity, severe osteoporosis, or advanced pregnancy, spinal decompression therapy is not advised. Additionally, it is not advised if you underwent instrumented spinal surgery. This is the reason a comprehensive assessment and pre-screening are always performed before any prescribed treatment session. Although this varies from person to person, depending on your illness, there is a specific time range that we anticipate seeing benefits within. When you arrive for your initial consultation and assessment, we will give you a general sense of this time range. Please bring any past MRI or X-ray reports you may have with you.

Most patients don't have any significant adverse effects. As the body adjusts to being stretched and decompressed, the most frequently reported side effect of this therapy is a dull, achy discomfort for the first week or two. The muscles are stretched lengthwise during spinal decompression, which is not how the body is accustomed to being stretched. The system incorporates emergency stop switches for both the patient and the operator to prevent any discomfort. If the patient starts to feel more pain or discomfort throughout the treatment, these switches will immediately stop the procedure.

The Spinal Decompression Therapy Program consists of helping the patient through numerous methods to aid pain loss in addition to the treatment sessions, which enables the patient to travel the road to a pain-free life much more quickly. The most popular of them being increased water consumption, healthful activity, and multivitamin pills. Spinal decompression therapy is generally regarded as being fairly secure and comfortable.
