How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Relieve Pressure on Nerves?
Spinal Decompression Therapy works by applying controlled traction to the spine, which helps to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. The process involves the use of a specialized mechanical table designed to gently stretch the spine. As the spine is stretched, negative pressure is created within the intervertebral discs, which can help to draw herniated or bulging disc material away from nerve roots. This reduction in pressure can significantly alleviate irritation and compression of the spinal nerves, which are often the source of pain, numbness, and weakness in conditions like sciatica or herniated discs.
In addition to relieving pressure on the nerves, Spinal Decompression Therapy also promotes the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, which can assist in the healing process. The enhanced blood circulation helps repair damaged tissues, reducing inflammation and further promoting spinal health. The therapy’s ability to decompress the spine not only helps reduce pain but also contributes to better spinal alignment, potentially leading to improved function and mobility.
For many individuals suffering from Nerve compression or related issues, spinal decompression offers a non-invasive way to relieve discomfort and support the healing process.
