Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Reduce Pain In The Lower Back?

Spinal decompression is a pressure relief on the spinal cord. Spinal neutral elements decompression has key components to treat the following:

• spinal radiculopathy
• myelopathy
• claudication

The disc decompression treatment is a computer-aided technology that revolutionized neck pain and chronic lower back pain, commonly happening due to:

• herniated
• slipped
• degenerated discs

Decompression can also be done both surgical and non-surgical. Surgical spinal decompression may include:

• laminectomy
• microdiscectomy

In simple terms, it is safe to say that spinal decompression treatment is a safe and effective option for surgical decompression to provide back pain relief.

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy stretches the spine gently which results in a change of force and spine position. In turn, relieves the spinal discs and pressure nerves that cause the pain. A negative intradiscal pressure is created, which promotes the repositioning of herniated disc material. It helps reduce inflammation and pain in the lower back and keeps surgery from being necessary, especially when the back pain is induced by stress.

Disc decompression therapy is great benefits for those suffering from chronic back pain that is worsened with age. When people get old, the discs sitting between the spine bones lose fluid. The spine is compressed and has less protection between every bone. Spinal decompression therapy has gentle forces destressing the spine, which causes lowered pressure in the disc.

The therapy leads to boosted blood flow and influx of healing nutrients and the exchange to the area that is injured. In non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, the spin is relaxed and stretched intermittently using precise calculations of the computer to create the right amount of tension. Once the spine is stretched by the machine, the fluids will fill the discs that lose fluids, repairing the spinal discs.

Spinal decompression treatment also includes other adjunctive treatments to help increase the results of the therapy, such as:

• Heat therapy
• Electrostimulation
• Cold therapy

The success rate of disc decompression therapy

The reviews disclosed the clinical results of the therapy. The effectiveness is over 75% of patients receiving the treatment and they find effective management of pain and long-term relief on the completion of the whole treatment program. There is a hospital in Italy that published a study about their review on non-surgical decompression traction. The result of 78% out of 41 patients who completed the therapy reported improvement and better quality of life.

The therapy reported a success rate of 71%-89%.
