Back discomfort is a common issue that affects many patients of all ages. There are a number of different causes of back pain, but one of the most common is our spinal discs. As we age, our spinal discs no longer have their flexibility and that results in pain. Luckily, there is a method available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment procedure for back pain that uses traction to elongate the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and reducess the pain. Spinal decompression therapy is generally done on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home after each session.
The technique begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action produces negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. The result; your pain is lighter.
Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are generally done 2-3 times per week. Most individuals begin to see results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.
If you’re suffering from back pain and are interested in a better likelihood of recovering, spinal decompression may be a good treatment option for you. This therapy uses traction to stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs, which can help reduce pain. Give Dr. Vinick a call today at (310) 375-4325 to schedule an appointment.
