Earlier, patients with severe back pain caused by a herniated disc or the compression of discs of the spinal cord had no alternative but to revert to major spine surgery or else suffer in silence. But thanks to spinal decompression therapy, patients now have a non-surgical and highly effective treatment for such painful conditions like sciatica, soft-tissue spinal stenosis, spondylosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and facet arthropathy. Most of these conditions are caused by the tearing or bulging of the disc(s) in the lower back and the pain can be debilitating.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical rehabilitation of the bulging disc. Traction is placed on the bulging disc to lengthen it and return it to its normal size. The traction produces negative pressure that helps heal the bulging disc. The patient has to visit the chiropractic for several sessions of the spinal decompression treatment before she can feel some relief from pain. Usually, patients are completely free of pain and are able to resume an active lifestyle by the end of the entire course of treatment.
Spinal decompression has myriad benefits - it's non-surgical and thus is devoid of all pre-operative and post-operative procedures. It's relatively inexpensive compared to spine surgery and patient can continue to live their life during the course of the treatment unlike the surgery where the patient has to rest and recoup during a certain time frame. Finally, the bulging disc is brought back into normal size and hence, the debilitating pain is eliminated and normal movement can be resumed. That's the biggest benefit of spinal decompression technique!
