There is a treatment used by chiropractic doctors called spinal decompression and it has proven to be very effective in providing relief and results to those suffering from pain and discomfort due to disc problems.
What does spinal decompression do?
Spinal decompression is a therapy that has a very high success rate in treating back and neck pain sufferers. What spinal decompression does is gently reduce the pressure between the spinal discs. The vertebrae in the spine are slowly and gently separated by a machine called a Spinal Decompression Unit. As a result of this separation of the discs, fluids, nutrients and oxygen are sucked back into the formerly compressed disc which helps the disc to heal.
The treatment is gentle and painless. Many patients find that while they are on the unit they experience tremendous relief. Compressed discs are under a lot of pressure and the release of that pressure takes irritation away from the nerves surrounding the discs. Longer lasting relief usually happens after 6-10 treatments. The treatments generally last about 20 minutes.
Spinal decompression works by elongating the spine. A study in 2006 present at the American Academy of Pain Management revealed that 90% of patients who had undergone spinal decompression therapy had improvement in their condition.
If you were to go into your medical doctor's office, the result might be to then be shuffled off to a specialist who would then recommend having surgery. Who wants to have surgery? It's expensive and there is a long recovery time. Wouldn't you like to try a more natural and holistic way to relieving your pain and suffering? Chiropractic is a method of treating illness and injuries in a drug-free and surgery-free way. Chiropractic will look at the entire individual to assess which method is most appropriate for the situation.
Most people are looking for alternative ways to stay healthy. No one wants the pain and expense of staying in a hospital to undergo a procedure that could be treated in a non-invasive manner. Spinal decompression works. It is a safe and gentle treatment for people who have severe and chronic neck and back pain. In your quest for relief, it is worth investigating.
