Spine surgery is incredibly risky, let alone highly invasive. Luckily there are less invasive alternatives available. Non-surgical decompression of the spine, also called lumbar decompression, is the method of non-surgical back pain relief. Distraction forces are applied directly to backbone components, such as injured disks, followed by partial relaxation periods.
There are many causes of back pain, from injuries to degenerative joint diseases. Lumbar non-surgical decompression is aimed at chronic back problems, including:
-Bulging or herniated discs
-Sciatica
-Injured nerves or joints
-Neck pain
-Leg pain
-Degenerative Disc Disease
-Lumbar facet syndromes
How does Lumbar Decompression work?
Non-surgical decompression requires interference forces being applied to the spine. This stretches the spinal discs and in a “vacuum effect” takes off pressure from the area. There’s a period of relaxation after the vertebrae are separated by interference forces.
The decompression and partial recovery process allow for nutrients such as water, oxygen, and other fluids to enter the injured spine region. The processing of new nutrients supports the process of healing.
