Understanding Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression helps take pressure off of the spine, particularly the intervertebral discs, which often contribute to back pain. This process involves creating negative pressure within the disc, which promotes the retraction of herniated discs or bulging discs and facilitates the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and hydration in the affected regions. Our chiropractor, with their in-depth knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, plays a pivotal role in administering spinal decompression treatments. We have a nuanced understanding of spinal anatomy and are trained to tailor decompression therapy to each individual's specific needs, ensuring a targeted and effective approach.
Types of Spinal Decompression
When seeking relief from back pain through spinal decompression, individuals have access to various methods. Some of these methods include:
Traction: This technique involves the use of a traction table or similar device to gently stretch the spine, creating the desired negative pressure within the discs.
Decompression Tables: Specialized decompression tables are designed to provide precise and customizable traction to the spine, which can relieve pressure off of pressure on the affected discs.
Inversion Therapy: Inversion tables and chairs allow individuals to hang upside down, harnessing the force of gravity to decompress the spine.
By consulting with our chiropractor, you can explore these diverse methods of spinal decompression, benefiting from personalized guidance and specialized care that aligns with your unique needs and preferences.
