Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs and Arthritis of the Spine
Spinal decompression therapy has emerged as a highly effective low back pain treatment for individuals suffering from herniated discs and arthritis of the spine. These conditions can cause extreme pain and significantly impact your daily life. Spinal decompression offers a non-invasive solution to alleviate your symptoms and promote healing. All Seasons Integrative Health in Fargo, ND, is here to explain how this technique can help bring relief.
What Are Herniated Discs?
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher outer layer. This can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness, commonly in the lower back or neck.
What Is Arthritis of the Spine?
Spinal arthritis, often osteoarthritis, involves the breakdown of cartilage in the joints and discs of the spine. This can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling, primarily affecting the lower back and neck.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression therapy involves gently stretching the spine to change its force and position. This process creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging retraction of herniated or bulging discs and reducing pressure on nerves and other spinal structures.
Benefits for Herniated Discs
By reducing pressure on the affected nerves, spinal decompression can significantly alleviate pain associated with herniated discs. Patients often experience relief after a few sessions. The negative pressure promotes the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids into the discs, which enhances the body’s natural healing process and aids in the repair of damaged tissues. By alleviating pain and reducing disc bulging, spinal decompression can enhance mobility, helping patients to return to their daily activities.
Benefits for Spinal Arthritis
Spinal decompression can help reduce inflammation in the spinal joints, alleviating pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The therapy helps increase the space between the vertebrae, reducing joint compression and improving overall spinal function. Spinal decompression promotes better nutrient and oxygen delivery to the affected areas, supporting the health of cartilage and joint tissues.
Combining Spinal Decompression With Other Treatments
Spinal decompression can be combined with other therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Chiropractic care at All Seasons Integrative Health can address spinal misalignments, while physical therapy can strengthen supporting muscles and improve flexibility. Lifestyle changes, such as ergonomic adjustments and regular exercise, can further support spinal health.
