SPINAL DECOMPRESSION | JEFFERSON CITY, MO

Treatment for back pain is often medication and physical therapy. When these treatments fail surgery often becomes the next course of treatment. Research has shown that an estimated 8 million unnecessary back surgeries are performed a year. The unfortunate thing for many patients is that they would often benefit from non-surgical spinal decompression therapy in Jefferson City.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy in Jefferson City MO?

A more conservative option available is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy. Many underlying causes of back pain respond well to this type of treatment. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy works using technology to stretch the spine thus reducing pressure on the intervertebral discs and vertebra.

It is common to see chronic low back pain be a result of degenerative disc disease, disc herniation or bulging discs. Other common conditions include, but are not limited to:

Spondylolisthesis
Spinal stenosis
Sciatica
Failed back surgery

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy utilizes mechanical traction which allows for specific force and a specific angle for distraction on the disc. By using a computer, we are able to minimize the body’s natural response to fight force. By being able to minimize the body’s natural urge to resist, we are to enhance the amount of nutrients and blood flow that assists the body’s healing process.

WHAT TO EXPECT

It is most common to receive twenty-four sessions during a course of treatment. When a patient is receiving their first round of treatment, sessions will start at around three visits the first week and gradually decrease to twice a week over a few weeks. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy visits last at least 20 minutes.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is not just a way to treat back pain but can also be used for acute and chronic neck pain. Patients must be eighteen years or older to receive therapy. There have not been any safety issues or adverse side effects that have ever been reported. Even though this is the case, the patients as well as the technicians are equipped with an emergency stop. It has been reported by patients that they experienced mild muscle spasms for a short time after treatment.

Overall, the majority of the patients that have received Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy have reported significant improvement in their condition and a better quality of life. There is generally notable improvement after at least 6 treatments.

If you have suffered any recent spinal fractures or had surgical fusion or metal spinal implants, then you are not a candidate for this type of treatment.
