What Is Spinal Decompression?

First, it is important for everyone to know what spinal decompression. This is a chiropractic treatment that we use to help people who are suffering from back pain. In some cases, people suffer from back pain because the vertebrae are too close together. This compression can pinch the nerves, leading to severe pain. That is where spinal decompression.

When we use spinal decompression, we use traction therapy to increase the amount of space between the vertebrae ever so slightly. First, we ask our patients to lay on a special table. Then, we place a slight amount of traction on the back. Some people might require multiple sessions of spinal decompression to notice the full effects; however, we use spinal decompression as a common treatment method in our plans.

What Can Spinal Decompression Treat?

The good news about spinal decompression is that this is a versatile treatment option. There are a few common conditions that we can treat using spinal decompression. One of the most common conditions is called a herniated disc. When a disc between two vertebrae, such as the one between L3 and L4, ruptures, this causes the vertebrae to sit on top of each other. We can use spinal decompression to restore this space, alleviating pressure on the nerves.

We can also use spinal decompression to treat other conditions as well, such as a pinched nerve. We take the time to evaluate exactly where the pinched nerve is located. Then, we can apply the right traction therapy to help our patients make a recovery.
