The spinal discs can easily become compressed due to injuries, age, diseases, and more. And this compression can lead to a great deal of pain and suffering. When this occurs, non-surgical spinal decompression is a natural and effective way to find relief. Learn more about how this treatment method works in the guide provided by the team at Premier Chiropractic.
How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?
It’s not quite as complicated as the name might sound. The patient simply lies down on a specially-designed table. The table then moves in a very targeted yet slow approach to gently stretch the spine. As the spine stretches, the pressure that has built up on discs, nerves, muscles, and tendons is released.
What Are the Benefits?
First and foremost, it’s a very gentle and natural approach to pain relief. It also relieves pain and treats symptoms associated with:
- Herniated or ruptured discs
- Arthritis
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Degenerative discs
- Pinched nerves
This process can also provide lasting healing and prevent future health problems. As the spine stretches, blood and healing nutrients are pulled into the discs. Tension is relieved from the muscles, which helps to restore mobility and balance. Other chiropractic treatments tend to be more effective when the spinal column is decompressed, allowing for more comprehensive treatment.
Sessions are also short and they induce no pain. Instead, you should feel relief. Many patients require several sessions to feel the full effects. This treatment is often used in combination with other treatment methods, depending on the patient’s needs.
