Spinal Decompression Therapy
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a treatment that relieves back and neck pain associated with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. With advanced decompression techniques at Pro-Active Physiotherapy Clinic, the patients can again enjoy a life of mobility, reducing issues in the quality of life.
How Spinal Decompression Works
It uses a specialized traction table or a motorized device that gently stretches the spine. This gentle stretching takes the pressure off the spinal discs and nerves and allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow into these areas. This enables natural healing and decreases pain caused by compression of the spine.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
Our spinal decompression therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint syndrome
- Chronic lower back and neck pain
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal Decompression: Releases pressure from pinched nerves and spinal discs, leading to pain relief.
Increased Mobility: Boosts flexibility and improves range of motion.
Less Invasive, Less Risky: Provides an option less risky than surgery.
Faster Recovery: Facilitates natural recovery from pain for long-term treatment.
Customized Treatment Protocols: Individual sessions of therapy as per patients’ requirements.
What to Expect During Treatment
To begin a Spinal Decompression Therapy session, you are comfortably positioned on a specialized table. Depending on the treatment area, a harness is fitted around your pelvis or neck. A computer then controls the table, applying gentle, intermittent traction to the spine. This will provide controlled distraction and relaxation of the spinal segments involved.
Each session generally lasts 30 to 45 minutes. The required sessions will depend on your case and response to treatment. Our physiotherapists create an individualized treatment plan for you based on your particular needs.
