Spinal Decompression Therapy for Disc Herniation
A herniated disc can be caused by age-related wear and tear, a genetic predisposition, or a traumatic injury. Symptoms of disc herniation make it almost impossible to live a normal life. If you have a herniated disc and can’t work, eat, sleep, exercise, or participate in your hobbies, you should visit our chiropractor for herniated disc treatment in Fargo. One effective treatment option is spinal decompression therapy.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a safe, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that can be done at our office. The procedure utilizes a specialized motorized traction table that is controlled through precise, measured computer calculations.
How Spinal Decompression Helps Herniated Disc Symptoms
While you lie on the motorized traction table, it moves in different, pre-programmed ways that gently and slowly stretch your spine. This moves your disc back into alignment, relieving pressure on your sciatic nerve. This gentle stretching also stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and allows the free movement of oxygen and blood through the body.
What to Expect from Spinal Decompression
When you visit our chiropractor for spinal decompression therapy, you will lie fully-clothed on the traction table. You can ask our chiropractor to dim the lights and play music to ease your relaxation. He will begin the treatment, which can last 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients feel no pain during spinal decompression, and many feel so relaxed that they fall asleep.
Who Shouldn’t Get Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a safe, effective treatment for herniated discs, age-related disc degeneration, chronic back or neck pain, wear and tear of spinal joints, injured nerve roots, and sciatica. You shouldn’t undergo spinal decompression if you are pregnant or have:
- Spinal fractures
- Tumors
- Any type of spinal implant
- Advanced osteoporosis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Bone cancer
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- A recent spinal or abdominal surgery
