Persons experiencing mild to chronic neck and back pain can benefit from
spinal decompression. This method is used to treat individuals who have
been injured in sports-related accidents, car accidents, and slip and
fall accidents. This procedure can also help those who experience pain
from average daily activities.Additionally, spinal decompression is used to treat some of the following injuries:
- Herniated disks
- Bulging disks
- Worn spinal joints
- Injured spinal nerve roots
- Diseased spinal nerve roots
- Degenerative disk diseases
The Spinal Decompression Process
Spinal decompression is designed to stretch the spine by reversing the
force and motion that the spine normally sustains throughout the day. Below is the step-by-step process of a spinal decompression procedure:
- The chiropractor will have the patient lie face-up or face-down. This will
depend on the patient’s condition.
- The chiropractor will place one harness around the patient’s pelvis
and another around the patient’s trunk.
- Using a computer-operated table, the chiropractor will stretch the patient’s
spine according to the patient’s medical condition and needs.
- The chiropractor will return the patient to a normal position.
In most cases, these procedures last for about 30 minutes to an hour. Of
course, this depends on the patient’s medical needs and the injury
the patient has suffered.
