You may have heard the term “spinal decompression”, but if you are like most, you probably have no idea what it means. Here are a few questions and answers which give the highlights on this groundbreaking procedure.
1. What Exactly is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression melds technology with the proven techniques of chiropractic medicine. Spinal Decompression therapy consists of using FDA cleared technology to apply computer controlled methods of relieving slipped or bulging discs, sciatica and/or low back pain non-surgically.
2. How Does Spinal Decompression work?
The equipment used in spinal decompression therapy may appear somewhat similar to a traditional chiropractic adjustment table, but that’s where the similarities end. By using precision computerized equipment, a doctor of chiropractic is able to administer targeted therapy to the exact areas which need treatment. This can be more precise than some traditional chiropractic methods.
3. Who is a candidate for spinal decompression therapy?
Generally, most patients with slipped and/or bulging(herniated) discs as well as those who have chronic neck and/or back pain are good candidates for spinal decompression therapy.
