If you have chronic back pain and are sick of being told that surgery is the only option, you’ve come to the right place. While sometimes surgery is the ultimate last resort, there are actually a range of holistic, non-invasive therapies with proven results that may alleviate the root cause of your back pain without having to go under the knife. As trusted providers of Spinal Decompression Therapy in Jupiter, FL, we often see clients who come in seeking non-invasive treatments for back pain after being told surgery or medication is their only option. When used alone or in conjunction with traditional medicine, spinal decompression therapy can alleviate many kinds of back pain. Our patients often leave feeling like a whole new person!
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy in Jupiter, FL Can Help Your Back Pain
Your spine is the support structure for your body. The spinal column is made up of many vertebrae with a nerve pathway running down the middle of these ligaments, bones, and disks. Degeneration or spine injuries can result in compression on your spine, putting pressure on your nerves or spinal cord that results in chronic pain. Spinal decompression is a type of therapy that helps to relieve the pressure, easing the pain. Some common conditions in patients we treat with spinal decompression therapy include:
- Herniated disks
- Degenerative disks
- Bulging disks
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
Stretching The Spine To Help It Heal
During spinal decompression therapy, the medical provider fits you with a harness around your pelvis and trunk. You may lie either face down or face up on an automated table, and the doctor will customize the treatment to your specific needs on the computer. Treatment lasts anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes and you may require 20 to 28 treatments over the course of five to seven weeks. This treatment is usually used in conjunction with other types of non-invasive treatment, including:
- Heat or cold therapy
- Ultrasound (using sound waves to generate heat and promote healing)
- Electrical stimulation (running an electric current to make certain muscles contract)
