Spinal Decompression Therapy in Grapevine
Spinal injuries like herniated discs, sciatica, and other back & neck conditions can be extremely painful. Pain may become debilitating, and medications offer only temporary relief.
If cervical spine injuries occur, pain can shoot out into the shoulders, arms, hands and fingers. Tingling sensations or numbness may also exhibit. Similarly, lumbar injuries can cause sciatic pain in the legs and feet.
Using spinal decompression therapy, in addition to chiropractic care, may provide the longer lasting relief you need.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical solution for people with bulging and herniated discs in the neck or low back. There can be many causes, but typically it’s from everyday wear and tear. Auto accidents, sports injuries, and falls are some other ways a disc injury may occur.
The spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae in the spine. After an injury, they may be moved out of optimal position, or the space between the vertebrae may have been compressed as a result of the injury or even postural changes.
This compression causes the disc to bulge out, or herniate, putting pressure on nearby spinal nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, sciatica, headaches, radiating pain in the arms and legs, and more. While adjustments may give some relief, it’s usually short-lived.
Spinal decompression therapy uses a computerized traction table specially designed to offer intermittent pulls and release, gently increasing the space between the vertebrae and releasing the pressure. Over time, the disc moves back into position, restoring function and relieving pain. Used in conjunction with chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy may provide longer lasting relief.
You might be a candidate for spinal decompression if you have any of these conditions:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Nerve damage
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Back, neck or arm pain
The frequency of treatment depends on the severity of your condition. Other therapies may also prove helpful; discuss options with your doctor.
