What are the benefits of spinal decompression?
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recognizes spinal decompression treatment as an option for relief of a variety of back ailments. Most decompression therapy treatments are designed to reduce the pain and discomfort of low back pain while returning normal function.SignificanceThe ACA describes spinal decompression therapy as a noninvasive, nonsurgical alternative therapy treatment. It puts the spine in a state of tension with y-axis traction to decompress, or unload, pressure from the intervertebral disks, bringing relief from a variety of back ailments.FeaturesIn addition to general low back pain treatment, the ACA indicates that spinal decompression is used to treat pain and mobility issues associated with degenerative disk disease, posterior facet syndrome (irritation of the joints on the back of the spinal vertebrae), protruding disks, radiculopathy (nerve compression that causes pain or numbness in adjoining muscles), neck pain and lumbar disk herniation.Related Therapie
