Understanding the Basics of Spinal Decompression
If you have chronic or worsening lower back pain due to a herniated disc, sciatica, or other condition, at-home remedies may not be enough to offer relief. Chiropractic care can address the root cause of your lower back pain and rehabilitate your injury so you can return to the activities you love. Spinal decompression is a safe, effective alternative to more invasive treatment options, like surgery. At Chapman Health Group, Dr. Todd Chapman has extensive experience helping patients find relief from chronic lower back pain through chiropractic care and spinal decompression in Leesburg, FL. Here is a look at the basics of spinal decompression so that you can decide if it is the right treatment for you.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical traction treatment that addresses spinal misalignments, nerve irritation, and herniated discs. During spinal decompression, you will lie on a traction table, which will slowly and gently stretch your spine and limbs. This process creates negative pressure, which can cause bulging or herniated discs to retract. It also accelerates the healing process by allowing nutrients, oxygen, and fluid to flow freely through the spine. After a few treatment sessions, spinal decompression can reposition joints, relieve pain and inflammation, and reduce pressure on the nerves, muscles, and vertebrae supporting the spine.
Who Should Consider Spinal Decompression?
You should consider spinal decompression if you have lower back pain or sciatica and have not found relief from home remedies. You might also consider spinal decompression as an alternative to prescription medication, invasive treatment options, or surgery. Spinal decompression is an effective treatment option for:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Pinched, irritated, or compressed nerves
- Degenerative disc disease
- Bone spurs
- Spinal stenosis
- Radiculopathy
