If you have back pain that is chronic, intense, or won’t dissipate, you may find sustainable, enduring, and natural pain relief from spinal decompression chiropractic therapy. Whether your pain occurs in your spine, upper or lower back, neck, hips, knees, joints, or elsewhere, spinal decompression therapy can help alleviate your pain, resolve your discomfort, and restore your body’s natural movement, all without drugs, surgery, or invasive procedures.
Decompression therapy reduces pain by removing pressure on nerves, realigning the spinal column, restoring the proper positioning of affected discs, and stretching out the affected area. If you have undergone other treatments, like physical therapy, a failed surgery, or another traditional treatment, yet you still experience pain and discomfort, this treatment may help. Here, our chiropractor in Altamonte Springs at Roach Family Wellness discusses what you should expect from spinal decompression therapy. Contact us today to book an appointment.
Preparing For Spinal Decompression Therapy
During your preliminary appointment at our Altamonte Springs chiropractic office, our chiropractor will meet with you and perform a comprehensive evaluation and examination of the affected area of your body. If spinal decompression is recommended for your individualized treatment plan, such as if you suffer from sciatica, a pinched nerve, a herniated disc, a bulging disc, or another spinal issue, your chiropractor will provide you with specific instructions regarding how to best prepare for each of your treatment sessions.
In many situations in which a patient is preparing for spinal decompression, our chiropractor may recommend the patient drink plenty of water and maintain proper hydration. Sufficient hydration is critical for making progress and optimizing the results of the treatment. For more specific instructions, please contact our chiropractor at our office.
Your Spinal Decompression Session
Each spinal decompression therapy session can take 30 to 50 minutes, though the duration of treatment may vary from patient to patient based on their individual requirements. Patients will remain fully clothed during their treatment. They will lay either face up or face down on a specialized table that can provide traction. Then, a harness will be applied to keep the patient stationary. Our chiropractor will operate the mechanism in order to apply the ideal amount of traction to the treatment area based on the patient’s specific condition. The traction applied to the area repositions the spine and alleviates pressure from the area. Patients may require multiple spinal decompression sessions over a period of time in order to achieve the best outcome.
