Spinal Decompression
Understanding Spinal Decompression: An Overview
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive therapy that aims to alleviate pain and promote healing in individuals suffering from various spinal conditions. This specialized treatment gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on the discs and nerves, and creating space for proper healing and improved function. By targeting the root causes of pain, spinal decompression offers a safe and effective solution for individuals seeking long-lasting relief.
Common Symptoms and Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression has shown success in addressing a range of symptoms and conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint syndrome
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Numbness or tingling in the extremities
If you experience any of these symptoms or have been diagnosed with these conditions, spinal decompression may be an ideal treatment option for you.
