Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Adjustments Suitable for Lessening Back Issues

Back pain is a routine problem that affects many patients of all ages. There are several different causes of back pain, but one of the most regular is our spinal discs. As we age, our spinal discs lose their flexibility and that results in discomfort. Thankfully, there is a method available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.

Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment procedure for back problems that uses traction to extend the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and relieves the discomfort. Spinal decompression therapy is typically done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home after each session.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?

The technique begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action creates negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. The result; your pain is less.

Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are generally done 2-3 times weekly. Several people start to feel results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.

If you’re suffering from back pain and are interested in a better chance of getting relief, 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. Ulvin a call today at (651) 462-3243 to schedule an appointment.
