Spinal decompression is a manual technique that can help relieve the pressure from the intervertebral discs. Unlike surgical spinal decompression, this method is non-invasive and it can be done right at our chiropractic office, West Hills Chiropractic Pain in Huntington, New York.
What Is Manual Spinal Decompression?
This treatment method involves a fast, stretch and release of the spine. It can take pressure off of damaged or injured areas of the spine. During the procedure, your hips would be stabilized on a special table. This is so that you are unable to move during the maneuver. During the stretch to the spine, every vertebra from the sacrum to the base of the skull will be stretched and released.
What Conditions Can Be Treated With Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression can treat a number of conditions. It is effective in treating patients who suffer from sciatica, back pain, neck pain, and injuries to the spine. This method can also treat headaches that are caused by pinched nerves due to bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Care Go Hand-In-Hand
Spinal decompression is a safe procedure. Before your treatment begins, our chiropractor will give you a physical examination to determine the source of your pain and take a detailed medical history to be sure that it will be safe for you. Afterwards, our chiropractor will tailor a chiropractic treatment plan that may include spinal decompression to provide pain relief to you.
If you are suffering from a condition that can be treated with spinal decompression, chiropractic care is often necessary. If you are suffering from a spinal injury or a condition of the spine that has your body misaligned, spinal manipulation can be used to realign the vertebrae that are not properly aligned. When the spine is in alignment, spinal decompression can be used to treat the true cause of your pain.
Multiple Sessions
If you are considering spinal decompression, you should understand that it will take time to achieve long-term results. The length of treatment would depend on the person and the severity of the condition. On average, it takes between 4 to 8 sessions to achieve results.
