Spinal Decompression Therapy – Helps in Managing Chronic Back and Neck Pain


Spinal decompression therapy is a type of traction therapy applied to the spine in order to reduce low back and neck pain. Chronic back and neck pain can be effectively managed with spinal decompression therapy in Brooklyn. The therapy addresses both the primary and secondary causes of low back and referred leg pain. This FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment modality involves stretching the spine using a traction table or similar motorized device to relieve the pressure on the spine. It also relaxes tight muscles around the spine. It can be used on patients who have not benefited from conventional back pain solutions such as bed rest, pain medication, surgery, acupuncture and physical therapy. It is comfortable and painless and has no side effects. Today, many practitioners around the world are starting to use spinal decompression therapy in their medical, physiotherapy, and chiropractic practices with great results. Studies show that spinal decompression therapy provides a relatively quick initial response. In a recent study of 219 patients with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease, 86 per cent of the people who completed the spinal decompression therapy showed immediate improvement and resolution of their symptoms, and that 92 per cent improved overall.

In addition to back and neck pain due to various medical conditions, spinal decompression therapy can also address headaches, pain in hands, arms or legs, carpal tunnel syndrome and more. How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works Generally, this innovative, safe and natural method is performed with specialized equipment. The patient lies face down or face up on a mechanized computercontrolled traction table. A harness is fitted around the pelvis and another around the trunk. The physician operates the computer, customizing treatment to the patient’s specific needs. The treatment session may last 20 to 25 minutes. However, the duration of the treatment and number of sessions depend on the diagnosis, the patient’s condition, and the physician’s recommendations.
