Learn About Nashville Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Therapy

By Allan Iacovelli


What is a spinal decompression?

Your chiropractor will explain that surgery is typically performed on people who suffer from disc pressure. This individual may go on to elaborate on the new ways chiropractors work with clients to reduce pain without invasive procedures.

During this therapy, you lie on a special table which gently cycles through traction and relaxation to isolate and relieve pressure on a specific disc in your neck or lower back. It is primarily used to treat herniated discs or sciatica.

Using non-invasive methods to relieve the pain herniated discs cause is fairly new, but has been studied and shown to be effective. The progression of degenerated discs can also be reduced, using these methods, by restoring blood flow to the affected area. It may take multiple sessions to see significant results because the process is methodical and paced to maximize relief.

In conjunction with traction and relaxation techniques, many practitioners recommend massage therapy. This helps muscles, weakened by working extra hard to compensate for the damaged disc, gain strength and mobility. An at home exercise regimen may also be prescribed by the chiropractor at the same time.

They will also properly screen you - spinal decompression therapy is not recommended for pregnant women and it is important to do X-rays to check for fractures, which could be aggravated. A good chiropractor will not sell you a therapy that does not work or is dangerous and will refer you to other professionals as needed.

If you have chronic back pain that is not responding to rest, exercise or other professional methods, it is worth considering nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy. It is a painless therapy with few risks that is showing great promise for being of benefit to anyone with a herniated disc or similar problem causing pain in their back.
