Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Better for Easing Back Discomfort

Back pain is a common problem that affects many men and women of all ages. There are many different causes of back pain, but one of the most common is our spinal discs. As we get older, our spinal discs no longer have their flexibility and that results in pain. Fortunately, there is a method available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment procedure for back discomfort that uses traction to extend the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and reducess the discomfort. Spinal decompression therapy is generally done on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home after each session.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?

The procedure begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action creates negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate less. The result; your pain is reduced.

Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are generally done 2-3 times per week. Most men and women start to see results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.

If you’re suffering from back pain and would like a better likelihood of getting better, 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. Cyr a call today at (802) 775-6961 to schedule an appointment.
