Spinal Decompression Therapy is a method for stretching the spine. The process can be done through surgical or non-surgical methods.
Ultimately, the goal of Spinal Decompression Therapy is to relieve back and lower body pain.
Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work.
One-half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.
Experts estimate that as much as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in their lives.
The spine is a complex structure that changes as we age. Spine components include vertebrae, joints, muscles, ligaments, discs, a spinal cord, and nerves.
In a healthy spine, the vertebrae, facet joints, and discs are vertically stacked. Every component is held together by a system of ligaments that support the proper alignment of the spine.
The spine has four natural curves to help distribute pressure while providing structural support and stability. Gel-like cushions called disks are located between the bones in your spine to absorb shock from weight applied to the spine.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction used to stretch the spine gently.
The process takes the pressure off the spinal disk by creating negative pressure in the disc. This process results in the impacted disks retracting and thus taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. Spinal decompression ultimately promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks to aid natural healing.
