Do you suffer from degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc syndrome, sciatica or addition spinal problems? Has surgery been suggested or recommended to you? As an alternative, consider Spinal Decompression Therapy. Spinal decompression therapy has proven effective in treating degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Spinal decompression therapy can also be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.
Spinal discs do not receive oxygen and fresh blood consistently. Decompression and motion of the spine can enhance healing by restoring the much needed nutrients back into the discs and surrounding soft tissue. During therapy you will go through phases of spinal distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can then be placed under pressure which creates a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things – first any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded will return to where it should be. Second the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which promotes healing and restoration of health to the spinal segment.
Spinal decompression therapy typically takes 10-20 minutes to perform. Most patients find pain relief within a few sessions. However to achieve maximum and long-lasting relief commitment to the entire recommended treatment program by your doctor is necessary. For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective.
