If you’re suffering from back pain and you’ve decided to seek chiropractic treatment, the process may be new to you. You’ve probably come to Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness and talked to our doctor, Dr. Todd Goldman. You likely received a physical and talked about a treatment plan. That plan can involve chiropractic manipulation, nutritional advice, and exercise. Another possible component of your treatment plan might be spinal decompression.
Total Chiropractic Will Help You Manage Your Back Pain
At Total Chiropractic, we want you to understand your treatment options. We can help you manage your back pain without having to resort to invasive procedures like surgery or dangerous prescription medications. Spinal decompression is a tremendous tool we have in the battle to help you achieve total wellness. So we want you to understand all there is to know about spinal decompression so you can understand the benefits.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
According to the website Spine-health, spinal decompression is a non-surgical technology that treats neck and lower back injuries. All of the technology is FDA approved and employs distraction force to the spine in order to relieve pain and pressure.
When you come to Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness for spinal decompression treatment you will see our decompression table. It may look like an old fashioned traction table, but it actually features cutting edge technology. Dr. Goldman operates the table using a computer program that controls the level of distraction force that is applied. The program also provides a precise accurate treatment that is able to pinpoint and target the injured area that needs attention by reading the muscle tension along your spine.
How Spinal Decompression Works at Total Chiro
During your treatment which lasts from 30 to 45 minutes, Dr. Goldman will create negative pressure along your spine which will create a vacuum effect. The treatment will cycle through distraction and relaxation phases. The negative pressure will pull away any spinal matter that may have become displaced from the disc and pulls it back into place. This will have the effect of allowing the blood and nutrients to circulate more easily through the spine. The result will be reduced inflammation and an improvement in natural healing.
Over time your pain will subside, but it’s difficult to predict how many sessions it will take to achieve your optimal level of wellness.
