Top FAQs About Spinal Decompression Therapy
What is done during spinal decompression?
Decompression therapy starts with the doctor having you lie down on the traction table. After you do, you will be fastened to the table, which will slowly stretch your back and spine. You will feel a slight pulling sensation as the table relaxes your spine and relieves pressure.
How do I know if I need spinal decompression?
Chronic back pain, sciatica, and other symptoms indicating nerve compression act as indicators for spinal decompression therapy. While other treatments may help heal these symptoms, spinal decompression therapy is the most effective and provides the longest-lasting solution.
Is spinal decompression a permanent fix?
Spinal decompression therapy can provide long-term relief but may not be a permanent solution. Your condition, lifestyle, and physical fitness will all play a role in how long the benefits of decompression therapy last.
How painful is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is not painful. The process is gradual and gentle; at most, you'll feel a slight pulling during the process. This pulling is the traction table working to stretch your spine and should not feel painful.
