Spinal Decompression
Chronic back or neck pain can make it hard to do even the simplest of tasks. People often experience pain from conditions like bulging or herniated disks in the spine, placing pressure on nerves and other spinal structures. One way to help alleviate some of the discomfort is to add spinal decompression therapy to your individualized treatment program. We are pleased to offer spinal decompression services at our office in Auburn, AL.
Nonsurgical or surgical spinal decompression can reduce the pressure on affected areas and allow you to move with ease. Our team can tell you how spinal decompression may facilitate your recovery.
What to Expect from Spinal Decompression
Patients may be eligible for nonsurgical or surgical spinal decompression therapy. Non-surgical spinal decompression involves the use of motorized traction to stretch the spine. This gentle procedure reduces pressure on and may induce retraction of herniated and bulging disks. With less pressure on the area, the body may continue with the healing process.
Surgical spinal decompression is used for those with more serious cases. This alternative may be suggested for those with bony growths or ruptured disks.
The Benefits of Spinal Decompression
- Improved oxygen, blood flow and movement of nutrients to an affected area, promoting healing.
- Reduced pressure on injured disks often causing a retraction of bulging or herniated disks.
- Decreased pressure on surrounding nerves and structures.
- Being able to perform daily activities and exercises more easily.
- Reduced pain in the back or neck.
