Spinal Decompression at Parker Integrative Health
If you’re struggling with chronic low back pain or joint discomfort and have tried multiple treatments with little success, non-surgical spinal decompression at Parker Integrative Health could offer the relief you’ve been seeking. This therapy is designed to reduce pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, promoting healing and reducing pain without invasive surgery or medications.
How Does It Work?
The treatment begins with the patient lying on a motorized traction table. A harness is gently placed around the hips and attached to a computerized system that controls the pulling force applied to the lower spine. The therapy alternates between traction and relaxation phases, providing a precise, targeted stretch to the spine.
The traction creates negative pressure inside the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the vertebrae. This negative pressure allows bulging or herniated discs to retract, relieving pressure on nearby nerves and tissues. This can lead to significant pain reduction and improved mobility.
Decompression also enhances the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the spinal discs. These nutrients are essential for tissue repair and overall spinal health, allowing the body to heal from within.
Most patients undergo 15-30 treatment sessions, each lasting 30-45 minutes. Your chiropractor will tailor the number of sessions based on the severity of your condition and how you respond to the therapy.
Benefits for Chronic Low Back
For individuals suffering from conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, spinal decompression can provide much-needed relief. By relieving pressure on pinched nerves, this treatment addresses the root cause of the pain, offering long-lasting results. Here are some benefits:
Improved Mobility: As pain and inflammation decrease, patients often experience an increased range of motion in their lower back. This improved mobility makes engaging in physical therapy and other rehabilitative exercises easier, promoting faster recovery.
Surgery-Free Healing: One of the biggest advantages of spinal decompression is that it’s a non-invasive alternative to surgery. With no downtime and minimal side effects, it provides a safer option for patients who want to avoid the risks of back surgery.
Long-Term Healing: Unlike medications that offer temporary pain relief, spinal decompression improves the health of the spinal discs and surrounding tissues. This promotes long-term healing and can provide a more sustainable solution for chronic low back pain.
Risks and Considerations
While spinal decompression is generally safe, it may not be right for everyone. Patients with fractures, tumors, severe osteoporosis, or significant nerve damage should consult with one of our chiropractors to determine if this therapy is appropriate. We’ll do a thorough evaluation to ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
