Back pain is a routine problem that affects many men and women of all ages. There are several different causes of back pain, but one of the most frequent is our spinal discs. As we age, our spinal discs lose their flexibility and that can result in discomfort. Luckily, there is a technique available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment method for back pain that uses traction to elongate the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and easess the pain. Spinal decompression therapy is typically done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home after each session.
The treatment begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action creates negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. As a result; your pain is alleviated.
Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are usually done 2-3 times weekly. A number of patients begin to notice results after about 8-12 weeks of therapy.
If you’re suffering from back pain and want a higher probability of recovering, spinal decompression may be a good treatment option for you. This therapy uses traction to stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs, which can help reduce pain. Give Dr. Holland a call today at (314) 867-8888 to schedule an appointment.
