Back pain is one of the worst forms of discomfort, and it happens to a lot of people for different reasons. While many suggest prescription drugs or invasive surgeries, we believe that less invasive methods such as spinal decompression will benefit more. The process involves alleviating pressure built up inside the discs of the back, located between each vertebra. This pressure, mostly caused due to injuries and issues such as bad posture, will be relieved through a decompression table. Count on Northgate Physiotherapy, Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre to help you with spinal decompression.
Our highly trained therapists specialize in the treatment of injuries from sports and accidents. We offer various services, such as physiotherapy and chiropractic adjustment. We also provide treatments for joint and muscle pain. Let’s look into the benefits of spinal decompression. 1. It’s effective The pain will heal from the first session itself. Each session lasts up to 45 minutes based on severity. The sessions should be done 15 to 30 times over six weeks. A harness will be used to lightly stretch the spine, opening each disc, allowing for fluids and oxygen to flow. 2. It’s painless During the session, a harness will be lightly fastened around the hips while you are on the decompression table. The decompression table will slowly move vertically to stretch the spine in a very relaxing manner as pressure will be relieved between each vertebra. 3. It’s safe Spinal decompression is a safer alternative treatment method compared to surgery or medications. The chances of getting injured are zero to none. 4. It’s cost-effective Compared to surgeries, spinal decompression method is a cheaper option. Surgery can cost you a lot of money, and there will also be chances of getting injured. Spinal decompression will also help in a full recovery of disc problems quickly. 5. Fewer side effects Side effects of surgery include bleeding, adverse reaction to drugs, heart attack, nerve damage or stroke. Spinal decompression rarely causes side effects such as slight pain and spasms. It’s safe to say that spinal decompression treatment is the better option available.
