Spinal Decompression in Kyle
If you’re dealing with pain or discomfort in your back or neck and don’t like the idea of taking painkillers, going under the knife, or getting injections, spinal decompression could offer the relief you need. This non-surgical technique works by gently stretching your spine, which relieves pressure on your discs, nerves, and joints. This provides relief from chronic pain and improves overall spinal health.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a therapeutic technique that uses mechanical traction to create negative pressure within the spine. This process gently stretches the spine, allowing for better circulation and promoting the healing of damaged discs. The treatment can be applied to both the lower back and neck regions, addressing a wide range of spinal issues.
How It Can Help
Here are some of the conditions that spinal decompression can effectively address:
- Herniated, ruptured, or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Spinal arthritis
- Nerve pain, numbness & tingling down the arms or legs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet syndrome
- Radiculopathy
- Scoliosis
What to Expect
We encourage you to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to make the session more comfortable, but this therapy can be given while wearing whatever you like.
Before beginning spinal decompression, you’ll undergo a thorough consultation, examination, and often imaging (like X-rays). This ensures that the treatment is suitable for your condition and identifies any potential contraindications.
During a session, you’ll lie comfortably on a specialized table that gently stretches and releases pressure in either the neck or lower back. While most decompression tables focus only on stretching and releasing, the table we use does that and offers an added feature: it can also move laterally, bending to each side to provide more targeted relief.
Patients typically experience a painless stretching sensation during the procedure. The duration and frequency of treatments vary based on your needs and the severity of your particular condition.
Although most people tolerate spinal decompression well, some patients may experience mild soreness after initial sessions. If it’s your first time getting this therapy, applying ice and resting after the session can help minimize any discomfort.
Why Consider Spinal Decompression?
If you’ve thought of getting spinal surgery or injections, we invite you to first consider spinal decompression. It offers a conservative, non-invasive approach with fewer risks. Perhaps best of all, you can experience relief, a reduced dependence on pain medication, and an improved overall quality of life.
