Severe back pain is the number one cause of disability in the United States. When someone suffers from back pain, simple activities become increasingly difficult. There are effective and natural treatments for back pain that can tackle the root of your problem instead of simply masking your pain.
At North Park Chiropractic, our chiropractor can treat back pain using spinal decompression and other chiropractic care techniques to address the root cause of your lower and upper back pain. We are here to help the residents of Havre De Grace, MD, and Bel Air, MD, through our spinal decompression treatment services.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a type of chiropractic treatment that gently stretches the spine. Between the vertebrae are discs that help cushion the spine. As the spine is stretched, bulging and herniated discs are moved back into their proper positions. Spinal decompression also relieves compressed nerves and tissues surrounding the spine. These nerves and tissues can become inflamed and lead to lower and upper back pain.
During your spinal decompression session, you will lie down on a traction table and strapped into a harness. Our chiropractor will then use a computer program to determine how much force to use to stretch your spine. The procedure is painless and typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.
Can Spinal Decompression Treatment Ease Back Pain?
Spinal decompression can relieve back pain by reducing tension and compression on the surrounding nerves and tissues. It can also alleviate pain by allowing bulging and herniated discs to retract.
Our chiropractors will conduct a physical exam to determine the root cause of your back pain. We can recommend treatment such as spinal adjustments and physical therapy to alleviate pain around the spine. Doing so allows us to give you the best spinal decompression treatment combined with other chiropractic care techniques for full back pain relief.
Only a trained chiropractor can determine if spinal decompression is appropriate for your back pain, or if other chiropractic treatments, such as spinal adjustments or physical therapy, will be more effective for you. We will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine the root cause of your pain before creating a customized chiropractic care plan to treat it. Best of all, chiropractic care does not rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery to produce results.
