What is Spinal Decompression Therapy
by Dr. Kam Mann | |
In today’s fast-paced world, we often deal with the stress and strain that takes a toll on our bodies, particularly our spines. The prevalence of back pain has surged to become a primary factor contributing to work absences and job-related limitations. Primarily attributable to prolonged periods of sitting at a desk, driving, etc. The symptoms may present as a dull constant ache, “compressed” feeling, or sharp, throbbing sensations. Further, spine compression can also result from sports-related injuries, car accidents or an aging spine.
South Surrey Spinal Decompression Therapy
SALAS Collective Care understands the importance of spinal health. We are excited to introduce you to the incredible benefits of spinal decompression therapy. Our South Surrey chiropractors are highly trained practitioners who offer Spinal Decompression Therapy for their patients. If you’re experiencing chronic back pain or suffer from herniated discs or other spinal issues, then spinal decompression therapy may offer the relief you’ve been searching for.
Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, traction-based treatment that helps relieve pressure on the spine and promote healing. It involves gently stretching the spine using specialized equipment to create negative pressure within the affected area. This negative pressure helps to retract herniated discs, help relieve nerve impingement, and increase nutrient-rich fluids, oxygen, and blood flow to the spinal discs.
Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized form of traction therapy that utilizes a computer-operated table, which ensures safety and consistency over treatments.
The Treatment Process:
When you visit SALAS Collective Care for spinal decompression therapy, one of our skilled chiropractors will evaluate your condition through a comprehensive examination and create a customized treatment plan before starting spinal decompression treatments.
You are fully clothed and comfortably positioned on a motorized table during a spinal decompression treatment session. Your South Surrey chiropractor will place a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk/hips. The chiropractor will then use a programming device to enter the parameters that are specifically tailored for you. The table will gradually stretch and relax your spine, applying gentle traction to the targeted area. The procedure is safe and gentle, and many patients find it relaxing. Some individuals may experience noticeable improvements following a single decompression therapy session; it may require multiple sessions to observe long-lasting benefits.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression:
- Herniated disc
- Bulging disc
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Spinal arthritis
- Chronic low back pain
- Neck pain
- Pain radiating down arms or legs
- “Pinched nerves”
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy:
Helps Relieve Pain: Spinal decompression can help alleviate back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, sciatica, herniated discs and other conditions. Decompressing the spine and reducing nerve pressure promotes pain relief and enhances your overall comfort.
Promotes Healing:
The increased nutrient and oxygen supply to the affected discs during spinal decompression therapy aids in healing. As the treatment gently stretches the spine, it may encourage the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, facilitating their natural healing and regeneration.
Non-Invasive Alternative:
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like spinal surgery. Spinal decompression offers a safe and effective therapy option for individuals who have not found relief through other conservative measures.
Improved Mobility and Function:
By addressing the root cause of your pain and promoting healing, spinal decompression can help restore your spinal function and mobility. Many patients experience improved flexibility and range of motion, allowing them to engage in activities they once found difficult.
Our Approach:
SALAS Collective Care believes in a holistic approach to healthcare. Spinal decompression aligns with our philosophy by targeting the underlying causes of pain and discomfort instead of merely masking the symptoms.
