Whether you injured yourself playing sports, on the job or you are dealing with an underlying medical issue, searching for new and effective options in back pain management is probably on your agenda. From prescription medications or surgery to massage and physical therapy, there are many treatment options out there. However, millions of people are finding relief for their back pain through a spinal decompression treatment. If you are suffering from one of these conditions that cause back pain, spinal decompression therapy may be right for you.
Sciatica
Signs of sciatica include tingling, numbness, or weakness in the lower back that travels through the nervous system to the buttocks and legs. The constant pain can be so severe that patients will be unable to sit or stand for long periods of time. Also, severe cases can lead to bladder and bowel dysfunctions.
Spinal decompression is an effective treatment for reducing the painful symptoms of sciatica. By manipulating the spine, the pressure is taken off the nerves, easing any pain that is radiating down your body.
Disc Problems
Spinal decompression is also beneficial for patients with bulging or herniated discs. Or, patients with degenerative disc disease, such as spinal stenosis.
Decompression uses traction and body manipulation to take the pressure and stress off of the spine, comforting the damaged discs and reducing your swelling, inflammation, and pain.
Individuals searching for holistic back pain management options should consider a spinal decompression after a full evaluation from their doctor.
Facet Joint Syndrome
Your spine contains numerous joints, which make your back flexible, enabling you to move, twist, and turn. These joints are called facet joints.
Aging, injury, and pressure on the spine can lead to inflammation and pain in the joints, known as facet joint syndrome or another form of osteoarthritis.
If you experience the following, you may have facet joint syndrome:
- Difficulty twisting and bending the spine
- Difficulty turning your neck left and right
- Pain in the back and neck
- Numbness and tingling in different areas of the body, caused by inflammation of the joints placing pressure on the nerves
Most patients with this form of osteoarthritis will take medications for their pain, but spinal decompression can offer relief more efficiently and effectively.
By manipulating the spine and neck, your chiropractor can reduce pressure on your spinal joints, offering you instant relief.
