Back pain is a regular issue that affects many men and women of all age groups. There are many different causes of back pain, but one of the most routine is our spinal discs. As we age, our spinal discs lose their flexibility and that results in discomfort. Fortunately, there is an approach available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for back issues that uses traction to elongate the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and lessenss the discomfort. Spinal decompression therapy is typically done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home after each session.
The procedure begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action produces negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. As a result; your pain is reduced.
Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are generally done 2-3 times per week. A number of patients begin to see results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.
If you’re suffering from back pain and want a greater probability of healing, spinal decompression may be a good treatment option for you. This therapy uses traction to stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs, which can help reduce pain. Give Dr. Wagner a call today at (859) 448-0056 to schedule an appointment.
