Spinal Decompression: A Non-Invasive Treatment for Pain Relief

If you are suffering from chronic back pain or a spinal injury and have tried various treatments but haven’t found relief, spinal decompression therapy can help to alleviate your discomfort. At The Disc Doctors in Latham, NY, our chiropractors use this non-invasive treatment for patients with spinal conditions and also to help enhance healing. Before you stop in from your first session, you can gain more insight on this chiropractic care below:

The Basics of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy uses traction to relieve pressure on the spinal discs. The procedure gently stretches the spine to reduce the compression being caused on the discs and help them heal naturally. Spinal decompression therapy creates negative pressure within the disc, which alleviates pain and speeds up recovery.

This non-invasive therapy is an excellent alternative to surgery for patients suffering from herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Spinal decompression can also benefit those that may be experiencing pain from old injuries or who suffer from or chronic wear and tear injuries.

Spinal Decompression Therapy Treatments

When you visit us for spinal decompression therapy, the treatment will typically last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. The therapy is painless and you will lie comfortably on a special table while traction is applied to your spine. The table is controlled by a computer, which allows our chiropractor to customize the treatment to your specific needs. This method of chiropractic care is safe and patients have felt relief from the very first session.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy has proven to be an effective treatment option that can help in realigning your spine, eliminating pressure on the affected nerves, and ultimately alleviating pain. Unlike surgery, spinal decompression therapy is non-invasive, which means there is no risk of infection, scarring, or other complications. Along with that, you don’t have to worry about long recovery times after treatment and can return to your normal activities immediately.
