Advantages of Spinal Decompression Therapy

 People who have chronic neck discomfort or lower back pain are treated with spinal decompression therapy. It entails exerting pressure on the spinal cord or utilizing the spinal cord's strength. The spinal cord gets stretched as a result of this.
Spinal decompression therapy is divided into two categories. Surgical and non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is available.

Non-surgical spine decompression therapy focuses on locating the source of the spinal cord pain. The spine is then stretched and a gentle push or pressure is administered. The location and force of the spinal column are altered by this pressure. The pressure on the spinal discs is relieved as a result of this alteration. And the bulging or ruptured discs retract, relieving pressure on the nerves and other spine components.
In chronic situations of back pain, Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is done. The basic concept is the same as the non-surgical procedure, which is to lengthen the spine, but this time surgically. There may be a need to use spinal fusion to help stabilize the spine in this procedure.

Benefits of spinal decompression:
At some point in their lives, everyone suffers from neck or lower back pain. However, if the agony you're experiencing radiates to your arm, shoulder, or leg, you may have degeneration or a herniated disc pinching the nerve. Decompression of the spine can assist reduce pressure on the nerve that is causing the pain.
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive traction treatment that involves using a specially designed motorized table to release pressure, restore disc space, and encourage natural healing. When the strain on the disc is reduced or removed, it can typically return to its original position, alleviating discomfort caused by conditions like:

• Herniated or degenerated disc
• Spinal arthritis
• Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Nerve root pressure
  

Fortunately, Sheets Chiropractic has a spinal decompression table on hand. Patients no longer have to worry about being referred to a specialist, which has become a vital addition to our holistic portfolio of services. Because of the treatment's popularity, we're even considering getting a second decompression table.

Here are five reasons why spinal decompression treatment is a good idea:

• It's highly effective — Studies show that spinal decompression can help you avoid surgery 75-85% of the time if you're nearing the point where you might need surgery due to a damaged disc. The success rate for individuals with a herniation is substantially greater, at 85-95 percent.
• The goal of spinal decompression therapy is to provide pain relief in a non-invasive manner. As the table moves, patients lie on a table with their waists or the base of their heads strapped in. There is no downtime and no need for medicines.
• Long-term outcomes — it’s important to remember that spinal decompression is a process. On average, it takes six to eight sessions to notice a reduction in discomfort. Each pull pushes nutrients into the discs, helping them to hydrate. The herniation is also retracted into the disc. If done appropriately, this form of treatment can produce long-term outcomes.
• Improved posture – Poor posture, which disrupts the natural alignment of the spine, is the source of many of the pain concerns we confront. Nerve interference is removed via spinal decompression. Many patients see a significant improvement in their overall posture when they combine routine chiropractic care with it.
• It's a process — because we have a decompression table in our chiropractic office, you may rest assured that your treatments will be effective. Depending on whether the pain is in the neck or lower back, treatments can take 20 to 30 minutes.
