Do you suffer from pain caused by sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or a pinched nerve? Spinal decompression is an effective approach to pain relief that doesn’t require surgery or potentially habit-forming medications. You may want to consider nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy as a treatment for herniated discs, posterior facet syndrome, and many other conditions that cause debilitating pain.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Though chiropractic care also involves the manipulation of the spine to improve alignment and relieve pain, nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy is a different form of treatment entirely. Key to this process is a unique spinal decompression table, which creates traction in the spine.
During your visit to Healthy Life Chiropractic, you’ll be secured to one of these tables by your practitioner. Advanced computer technology then regulates how the steps interact with your body, controlling things like the intensity and duration of the stretch. This provides optimal results with minimal discomfort.
The goal of spinal decompression is, as the name might suggest, to reduce the pressure between spinal discs that are compressed. By relieving compression, this form of therapy also pulls in the oxygen, water, and nutrients needed to promote healing and recovery.
How Can Spinal Decompression Help?
Our patients can attest to the effectiveness of Kennedy Decompression Therapy as a means of pain relief. We recommend this form of nonsurgical treatment to address pain caused by several conditions.
Treatment for Herniated Discs
Herniated discs have a huge impact on your overall health and wellness. Not only do they cause radiating pain and lead to conditions like sciatica, but they can also cause nerve damage and permanently hinder balance and mobility. This makes it increasingly more difficult to stay active, which is something you’ll especially want to do during the spring and summer. Spinal decompression is a great treatment for herniated discs because it promotes realignment, relieves pressure, and reduces pain and weakness.
Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is when your spinal discs break down or become damaged, leading to severe pain and mobility issues. Much in the same way that it’s used as a treatment for herniated discs, spinal decompression therapy helps realign and depressurize degenerated discs. Increasing the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged disc helps expedite healing and thus keeps pain levels lower.
