Understanding Spinal Decompression for Back Pain
Back pain is a common ailment that can make day-to-day living a challenge. It can develop as a side effect of a sports injury, sciatica, or as a degenerative condition. For those looking to treat their low back pain without the use of medication or surgery, Back 2 Health Chiropractic in Lebanon, TN, offers spinal decompression. Here is a look at what spinal decompression is and how it can help those suffering from back pain.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option offered by Dr. Brent Fetzer to address various spinal conditions and alleviate chronic pain. Using a specialized motorized table, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process promotes healing by reducing pressure on nerves, improving circulation, and encouraging the reabsorption of herniated or bulging disc material.
What Conditions Can Spinal Decompression Treat?
Spinal decompression therapy is effective for a range of conditions, including:
- Herniated Discs or Bulging Discs – Spinal decompression helps alleviate pressure on the affected discs, reducing pain and inflammation.
- Sciatica – By relieving nerve compression, decompression can ease the shooting pain and numbness associated with sciatica.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Spinal decompression improves the health of aging discs, relieving stiffness and discomfort.
- Spinal Stenosis – The therapy reduces pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves, providing significant relief for those with spinal narrowing.
- Chronic Back and Neck Pain – For those who have persistent pain due to poor spinal alignment or nerve compression, decompression therapy can provide long-term relief.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression offers numerous benefits for patients seeking an alternative to surgery or medication:
- Pain Relief – By reducing pressure on spinal nerves and discs, decompression therapy alleviates pain in the back, neck, and extremities.
- Improved Mobility – The therapy enhances spinal alignment and flexibility, allowing patients to move more freely and comfortably.
- Accelerated Healing – By increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged discs, spinal decompression supports the body’s natural healing process.
- Non-Surgical Option – For individuals looking to avoid invasive procedures, spinal decompression provides a safe and effective alternative.
- Customizable Treatment – Dr. Fetzer tailors spinal decompression sessions to each patient, ensuring optimal results.
