Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Suitable for Easing Back Pain

Back discomfort is a regular problem that affects many people of all ages. There are a lot of different causes of back pain, but one of the most common is our spinal discs. As we get older, our spinal discs lose their flexibility and that can result in discomfort. Luckily, there is a method available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for back pain that uses traction to elongate the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and lessenss the discomfort. Spinal decompression therapy is generally done on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home after each session.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?

The technique begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action generates negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. As a result; your pain is lighter.

Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are generally done 2-3 times per week. Many men and women start to feel results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.

If you’re suffering from back pain and would like a higher likelihood 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. Dennis a call today at (561) 966-6171 to schedule an appointment.
