After visiting your doctor, you might have been recommended spinal decompression therapy. However, there are a few things to know before making the decision.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
First, let’s explain what spinal decompression is. This is a surgical procedure that will relieve pressure off the spinal cord or on a compressed nerve passing through the spinal column. Spinal decompression therapy is another option available using laser therapy to open up space to alleviate pain from pressure on nerves or the spine. This is a much safer and more effective option compared to regular surgery options.
When Do I Need Spinal Decompression Therapy?
If you are suffering from back pain, especially along the spine, you might need spinal decompression therapy. It is for those over the age of 18 and who are available for four weeks of treatments. If you are having chronic and persistent pain from degenerated disks or suffer from constant and recurring pain after spinal surgery failed, this is a great option for you. Also, if you need surgery but don’t want to undergo the knife, this is an alternative to find relief from lower back pain from sciatica or herniated disks.
What are the Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy?
There are many benefits when it comes to spinal decompression therapy. Instead of surgery, this treatment option available at the LaserTech Pain and Back Relief Center is a much more comfortable treatment with no pain or negative side effects. During treatment, many patients have actually taken a nap. Aside from minor muscle spasms, the therapy is virtually pain free with no discomfort. Plus, spinal decompression therapy has been found to be extremely effective for those suffering from back pain.
