I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that you have lived with back pain for as long as you can remember and all the talk about decompression as a means to eliminate your pain once and for all is too good to be true. But that’s just not the case.
Decompression is an FDA approved approach to both reduce and eliminate pain in the upper back, neck, lumbar region, and sciatica pain in a non-invasive, non-surgical method and in a relatively short amount of time. Stop thinking that surgery is going to fix this problem. Stop thinking that you have no choice but to keep taking the strongest over-the-counter pain medication to get through the day. You do have options, and decompression is one of them.
So just who provides this cutting edge therapy and what exactly happens during a decompression therapy session? Both are valid and very important questions to have answers to before choosing this method of pain relief. To start, you should only receive decompression therapy by those who have extensive training and knowledge of both the spine and with a decompression table.
Chiropractors will fulfill both of those criteria and will be your partner in getting rid of your back pain finally. Chiropractors go to school for about the same amount of time that physicians do, but chiropractors specialize in the back, how it works, and how to heal it. They know that the spine is our lifeline and when there is trouble in the spine, you could be experiencing pain or disease elsewhere in the body. Once they assess your pain and check your overall health, they may suggest decompression therapy, which may begin in that same visit.
Decompression uses the same principles that old-fashioned traction therapy does, but without so many ropes and pulleys, hanging you out like a piece of wet laundry. While traction pulls on the entire vertebrate in the back, decompression can focus on the few that are causing the problems. This centralized focus helps the therapy heal the injured area much faster and more efficiently.
You will simply lie down on a table with a few straps around your waist, and you then feel a gentle pulling sensation. This pulling will help a herniated or bulging disc to be able to slip back into place thanks to negative pressure. The procedure lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and will need to be done a few times a week.
The chiropractor might suggest message therapy to keep the muscles loose and prevent pulling the vertebrate out of place or progressive rehabilitation therapy to strengthen your back muscles and help prevent future injuries. You may also be taught about exercises that you can do at home and tips on helping you to have better posture.
Now that you are armed with the information, you need to stop your pain, go ahead and find a licensed chiropractor and ask them specifically if they offer this revolutionary way of treating your pain. Decompression therapy, it really does work.
