What To Expect
WHY SPINAL DECOMPRESSION WORKS
Spinal decompression tables are designed in a way that allows discs to return to their normal form. Typically, a person suffering from disc pathology will lie on a specially designed decompression table that focuses on their area of pain. After a harness is applied carefully, a computer-controlled program will determine the amount of traction or pull necessary to provide the intervertebral discs with the relief they need. As the unit reacts, the spine to the appropriate level, fluids that supply nutrients to the discs are allowed to return. With increased fluid in the discs throughout the damaged area of the spine, the discs are allowed to return to their normal shape and form, providing relief to compressed nerves and other surrounding structures. This process is similar to what astronauts experience in space as gravity is reduced. While it has usually taken a significant amount of time to cause damage to the discs, the time required to return them to their normal form and function varies.
Spinal decompression provides a valuable adjunct to your routine chiropractic care. While other treatment avenues exist, spinal decompression therapy provides a cost-effective and proven approach to treating your back pain. In addition, the side effects and risks of spinal decompression therapy pale in comparison to more invasive treatments such as surgery and medication.
Treatment for Back Pain
Do You NEED SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY?
With over 30 million people throughout the United States suffering from back pain at any given moment, and back pain being the number one cause of disability, people everywhere are searching for the best way to obtain relief. In addition to being the number one reason for absences at work, back pain places over a 50 billion dollar burden on the health care system each year.
While these figures would lead you to believe that most cases of back pain are caused by serious pathologies such as cancer, broken bones, infections, and arthritis, the majority of the reported cases of back pain are actually caused by problems with the intervertebral discs. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy has emerged as a valuable adjunct for not only relieving pain but also speeding up recovery time.
If you have suffered any recent spinal fractures or had surgical fusion or metal spinal implants than you are not a candidate for this type of treatment. An evaluation will be performed prior to treatment to make sure that you are a qualified patient. Our team at Youngstown Spine & Disc in Boardman OH is here to help you recover. Call us today.
