Overview
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal disks and nerves by gently stretching the spine. This technique involves using a specialized table or device to create a controlled, negative pressure within the spinal disks. The change in force and position helps to retract bulging or herniated disks, thereby reducing pressure on surrounding nerves and structures. The aim is to alleviate pain, improve spinal alignment, and promote overall spinal health.
Who are the potential eligible patients to receive this service?
Spinal decompression is beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Bulging or herniated spinal disks.
- Chronic back pain or neck pain, particularly if related to disk issues.
- Sciatica or radiculopathy due to nerve compression.
- Spinal stenosis or other conditions causing nerve pressure.
- Patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to manage spinal pain and improve mobility.
What outcomes to expect from this service/treatment?
Patients undergoing spinal decompression can expect the following benefits:
- Reduced pain and discomfort in the back and neck.
- Decreased pressure on bulging or herniated disks.
- Improved spinal alignment and function.
- Relief from nerve compression symptoms, such as sciatica.
- Enhanced mobility and flexibility in the spine.
- A non-invasive option for managing spinal conditions and avoiding surgery.
