What Is a Decompression Table?
A decompression table is a mechanical device that is commonly used during spinal decompression therapy. A decompression table works by decompressing the spine, which takes the pressure off the nerves and discs in your spine, helping to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow. This can help to relieve pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms that stem from bulging or herniated discs. Decompression can be an effective treatment for chronic neck and back pain and can also be used to prevent pain from returning. Decompression can also be used on extremities for joint conditions such as degeneration in knees, hips and wrists.
Decompression tables are often used in combination with other treatments, such as chiropractic care, massage therapy, therapeutic modalities, and spinal rehabilitative exercises.
How Does Decompression Work?
During a spinal decompression session, we gently stretch the spine to create negative pressure within the affected area. This negative pressure encourages the influx of oxygen, nutrients, and fluids into the discs, potentially allowing them to rehydrate and heal.
The stretching motion can also help to retract herniated or bulging discs, potentially reducing the pinching of nerves and alleviating pain and discomfort. Additionally, spinal decompression may also help promote the release of endorphins, natural painkillers that can help enhance the patient's sense of well-being.
Personalized Treatment Plans
We can customize the treatment plan based on the patient's specific condition, targeting the affected areas with adjustments and traction. The duration and frequency of sessions will vary depending on the severity of the condition. However, patients may experience significant relief after a few weeks of consistent treatment.
Spinal decompression in chiropractic can be an alternative to surgery, potentially allowing patients to improve their spinal health and quality of life without invasive procedures.
If you suffer from conditions that cause pain and limited mobility in your spine like disc degeneration or a herniated disc, spinal decompression may be the right treatment for you.
