Spinal Decompression is a gentle procedure that relieves pressure on the spinal cord and provides immediate pain relief. As people age, the discs that sit between the bones of the spine lose fluid and as a result, the spine becomes compressed and there is less protection between each bone. However, Spinal Decompression Therapy causes the spine to de-stress, causing a lowered pressure in the disc.
How does Spinal Decompression work?
This nonsurgical method involves the stretching of the spine with a motorized device or a traction table. When the spine is stretched, fluids begin to fill the discs that have lost fluids, which are responsible for repairing the spinal discs. This leads to improved blood flow and healing nutrients are directed to the injured area.
A spinal decompression session lasts for about thirty minutes and the average treatment takes place over a period of 4-6 weeks, which consists of 12-20 sessions.
